They talk big. Let's see if they actually have the will and the votes to do it.
The terrorists and insurgents will GLAD TO KNOW THAT!!! They will plan accordingly.
Look what you have done America -- you voted these moron Marixists into power and we will have another Viet Nam. Cut and run and leave the spoils to the enemy...
Since when do Senators run foreighn policy....especially senators with a 49-49-2 slim majority.
Not gonna happen. Lieberman votes no. So do one or two other Dems. Chaffee is gone. Probably only one Rep. will vote yes. Bush wins.
That should spark a nice fight within the democratic party.
I tell you it's not possible to trust any of your neighbors, friends, or even relatives who is a Democrat.
Well, the troops will be home for next Christmas.
4 to 6 months?
Translation .. The Democrats have just signed the death certificates of not only the Iraqis .. but also Americans
"hoped some republicans would emerge to join democrats..."
did you ever hear that pseudo-intellectual totalitarian that he was going to join republicans in anything.....the only thing that matters to him is the internationalist agenda that he has in common with left wing democrats.
Yeah but Iraq's leaders have to understand that Uncle Sam is not going to stay around and that they have to get their act together. The American people will not put up with their sons and daughters being killed so they can go out and settle scores with one another. This is not just a democrat position but one taken by conservatives as well.
And Iran will get nukes.
All the consequences will take 10 years to play out, and by then the moonbats will have moved on and will be screaming about something else. When we all say "I told you so" they will call us mean spirited - and the younger ones won't even know what we are talking about.
Meanwhile the culture smog machine will run in overdrive to make some trivial domestic fad seem like the second coming and try to remember the years of the disaster as the bell-bottom years or the funny-hair years or what have you.
And George W. Bush will remain el diablo. Meanwhile, the real el diablo will feast.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Sometimes bad ideas can't be thought through; they need to be realized in practice to be fully appreciated.
Only if Bush doesn't use his veto pen. Of course, he has a habit of giving in to what the other side wants.
If they succeed in this it will be good news for the GOP. Unfortunately it will most likely mean a civil war (in Iraq probably not here), and the terrorists that are currently going to Iraq may end up here. If they succeed and none of our doom and gloom predictions pan out or the media ignores the bloodbath (very likely), then at least the War in Iraq is off the table for the 2008 campaign.
Having convinced themselves that every war conducted by a Republican President is Vietnam, the Baby-boom Democrats are bound and determined to make it so. That is their template: every war is Vietnam, every scandal is Watergate, and every Republican is Nixon.
Flame away, but this needs to be done. The only caveat I see is if they(Iraqis) decide to turn it all over to the terrorists and warlords, then they are all the enemy and that means we go back to square one:
You're either with us or the terrorists.
And in the end that is what our foreign policy demanded. That policy is not 'open ended,' it is meant to make terrorism end.
They will lose this war for us. They will pull the troops out of what they and the MSM will spin as an unwinable situation. Then with the help of their MSM friends they will go on to blame Bush, Rumsfeld and whomever the feel like blaming for getting us involved in an unwinable war. After our withdrawal, the MSM won't report on how things deteriorate in Iraq or the middle east. It will all be peachy cream over there while Democrats are in charge. It's apparent that even with the best military in the world, we will never win a war again as long as Democrats have any power.
