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.
6 months ?
Doesn`t that coincide with the new fiscal year/budget?
Wouldn`t that be perfect opportunity to de-fund Iraq ?
I cannot believe this. Dayton is reading quotes from "State of Denial."
@#$%*#&@!!!!!!!!!!
WTH?!?! This is unbelievable.......this senator is quoting the book AS IF it is gospel..............
Dayton is reading quotes from "State of Denial."
I can't believe this.....well, I guess I do....banging my head on my desk
Emboldened? That's what Al Qaeda is going to be when we pull out and basically give the country to them. Those deaths of our service men will be for nothing...NOTHING! How quickly we forgot the lessons of 9/11 and the realization that war on terror is going to last years. It's one thing to be passive and anti-war, but it's completely different when that philosophy puts my family at risk.

Ok. Let's clarify. We have a US Senator who is taking the word of Bob Woodward and his un-named sources OVER the word of a U.S. 4 star general TESTIFYING before a Senate committee...
