we believe the way forward is to begin the phased redeployment of our forces in the next four to six months

IOW, we want to Cut and Run.

N U T S

All very well, until P&R institute a "phased redeployment" of funds from the war to "rebuilding the Chocolate City" and "Aid to Ho's and Skanks"

Democrats want to Retreat

Please, a retreat is an often necessary military maneuver. What they want is to

Cut and Run

IOW, a rout, not a retreat

They want us to surrender, apologize, beg forgiveness, and promise not to offend thugs or tyrants ever again. I mean if they really had it their way.

Wait a minute! Weren't they complaining before the election that we didn't have enough troops to do the job right? I mean, Charlie Rangel was talking about a draft and all.

The Dems keep going on about bringing troops home, ya da ya da ya da. But they are missing the point. The joint chiefs and every other Officer worth his salt has told the Armed Service committee, If we surge now, we cut back later. For better or worst, we will not be able to maintain the current forces in Iraq past Mid-2008. The Extensions, the early departures for Iraq, and the Cold War-Era guard cross leveling programs have guaranteed that. And it will take 2 or 3 years to build new units when they decide to increase the Army and Marines. If the President and Generals go through with the surge, paint a big Bleeping Bullseye on Sadr City and Mahdi Army strong points around Baghdad. The Shia, and Sadr's Iranian backed Militia in particular, are the reason for the spike in Iraqi and Coalition in the 2nd half of 2006.
