At one press conference, Rep. Maxine Waters, now serving her 9th term in the House of Representatives, declared that under the Out of Iraq Caucus's plan, the United States could remove U.S. troops from Iraq "by August of 1980 [sic."] Then, Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, reasoning that 1980 had already taken place, said the actual date was August 2008. Rep. Lloyd Doggett suggested that Mr. Bush, "the misleader," was to blame for his colleagues' confusion. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, California Democrat, tried to explain the caucus plan, but stumbled over the chronology of the withdrawal, saying at one point that it would take place in the "20th [sic] century." She became flustered, then said: "Actually, we want our troops home with their families by Christmas." The caucus proposal is "confusing," said Mrs. Waters, noting the obvious as Capitol Hill reporters managed to stifle laughter.

A place I have never wanted to visit anyway.
I want this on YouTube in the worst way! LOL.
The disconcerting thing is that this group of goobers beat us out to be in charge.

Would California's Pete Stark support a politician using a religious holiday as a deadline? Shouldn't she just say by end of December?
Better yet, how about wanting the troops home by Ramadan?

You two be walkin' the tightrope this afternoon...Bwaaa
Right. Bush tricked them into believing that it's 1980.
If Maxine Waters ever smiled her face would crack.
She was the one who led the Charge Up The White House Hill to protect Bill Clinton after he was impeached.
It does amaze me how some of my fellow Americans can vote for these people....Maxine Waters, McKinney, Jefferson, Barney Franks, Kennedy, Reid, Pelosi, Waxman, ...where do they find them?
And while it amazes me that my fellow citizens vote for these people, it frightens me that they also drive on the freeway.....and eat the same food....and breathe the same air.
Well, at least I KNOW we don't share the same music.
The same idiot who called the LA lootings a rebellion.
Somebody has video, I bet.
Had I been there I would have told the date challenged congresscrook MaxinePad "see you next Tuesday"
Given Waters profound stupidity she perfectly reflects those who elected her in the first place.
I'll bet you are right. What segment of Fox was it on?
how about the black caucus member from houston,sheila jackson lee who thought we had men on mars who planted a flag-and NASA is in her district-??oh,and she was a judge-here come da judge-what a joke-i feel bad for Black Americans who are intelligent,hardworking decent people and they are leeched upon by a bunch of minstrel show buffoons-when a dignified man like JC Watts serves in Congress he is spurned by da caucus-let's face it -life is very unfair for Black people who just want to do the right thing-this whole deal is hardly unique to Blacks-every "ethnic" group has been parasitized by their own posing as political defenders and saviors-the slick tongued lazy incompetents who live off the sweat of their brothers and sisters
And who is the stupid party again? yes it is the democrat party not the Republican Party as some on our side tell us again and again and again.
Scott Ott and Scrappleface rules!!!!
Oh, wait a second, this is from the Washington Times.
I guess this actually happened.
Truth is actually stranger than fiction.
