What these Dems keep saying about how the American voters voted to get out of Iraq last November is a STUPID thing to say...because that was not on the ballot.
I don’t remember being able to vote about that...and not ALL Dems were for a date certain withdrawal.
Bahbah or Mo1 asked on a thread last night if these people really believe that WE want our foreign policy decided and run by “commissions” and “groups” and other non-elected entitites...because we did NOT.
Therefore, when Nancy or anyone else says that the Iraq Study Group recommended meeting with Iran and Syria...that sould NOT mean anything..it should be a non-argument...but, they are getting away with it.
The Dems campaigned that they had a better plan, but it was a secret. Then they said, no we won’t withdraw. And then they did.
The talking heads mentioned polling that appears to show that Americans want timelines.
That does not translate into surrendering by way of pork, but they are entitled to paint “I AM STUPID” on their foreheads and cry that Rove did it to them.
Amazing how things like this get ignored by the DBM:
“But the “will of the people” isn’t set in stone. Persistent signs of success in Iraq could revive a will to victory, just as a run of bad news sapped the public’s patience. Even when they are discouraged, Americans are not comfortable with the idea of simply bugging out and leaving Iraqis to deal with whatever mess we leave behind.
A new survey by the research group Public Agenda shows seven in 10 respondents favoring withdrawal but about 60% saying that the U.S. has a moral obligation to the Iraqi people. We doubt if most would consider that obligation met if we were to leave the Iraqis with no effective government and with a war zone for their capital.”
