Emboldened Democrats to Urge Iraq Exit (Levin says within 4 to 6 months)
BREITBART ^

Posted on 11/15/2006 9:02:46 AM PST by sonsofliberty2000

The Bush administration must tell Iraq that U.S. troops will begin withdrawing in four to six months, the next chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Wednesday, as Congress began re- examining U.S. policy in the wake of last week's Democratic election victory.

"We cannot save the Iraqis from themselves. The only way for Iraqi leaders to squarely face that reality is for President Bush to tell them that the United States will begin a phased redeployment of our forces within four to six months," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said at the outset of a hearing featuring the top U.S. commander in the Middle East.

Now the General is taking on Linseed, and he handles him quite nicely as well. Graham is of course McCain's mouthpiece in the hearing.

I meant the democrats are pulling for the worst possible situation instead of a clean, clear vision of what needs to be done both in the U.S. and Iraq....

So this is what the Dems plan was all along...cut and run. They harped on President Bush about no exit strategy, while all along there's was just to run away.

He appears not to be very pleased with the efforts of the State Department.

Thank you!! This has been my fear since the election. My dh is leaving in February, and this is the first deployment that has actually scared me, and he was in Afghanistan in early 2002.

I have this vision of them bringing home the Reserves and Guard because, let's face it, their homecomings look better on tv (not that they don't deserve to be home, but you get my meaning), and that the smaller units will be stuck there with no real support.

It's all a chess game for these jerks, but this is my husband, my family, and we have NEVER complained about this life, but I would like him to have at least a fighting chance. The Dems need to at least have a better plan before they start demanding withdrawal.

They may crow about their superiority and how GW owes the troops an apology, but if the cut 'n runners keep on like this, they will be the ones responsible for needless deaths, IMO, not the other way around. But of course, we are stupid anyway, so who cares what we think.

"Write your Senators if they are Republican"

Do you think writing Snowe, Collins, Specter, Hagel, or any of the other RINOs would make a difference. They all support the Islamic terrorist just like Levin.

Sen. Nelson is too dumb to understand what Abazaid is telling him.

...."um..Bush doesn't have to do a damn thing they tell him"....

Exactly! The libs and their bubbies in the MSM are acting as if they have been elected rulers of this country. NOT! We still have a GOP president (thank God!). Geez, I thought these moonbats' didn't even take office until January?

Mc Cain is right- but so is Abiziad- they're focusing on different goals. If the goal is to BEAT the insurgency and kick their butts- McCain is correct. If the GOAL is to train and stand up an Iraqi army to do accomplish the first goal- Abiziad is right..

Abiziad just SMACKED McCain..LOL!
