BAGHDAD (AP) - An Iraqi government spokesman criticized the U.S. Senate vote to begin withdrawing U.S. troops by Oct. 1.
"We see some negative signs in the decision because it sends wrong signals to some sides that might think of alternatives to the political process," Ali al-Dabbagh told The Associated Press.
He spoke after the Senate passed legislation Thursday that would require the start of troop withdrawals from Iraq by Oct. 1. The House passed the same bill a day earlier, and President Bush has promised a veto.
The legislation is the first binding challenge on the war that Democrats have managed to send to Bush since they reclaimed control of both houses of Congress in January.
"Coalition forces gave lots of sacrifices and they should continue their mission, which is building Iraqi security forces to take over," al-Dabbagh said. "We see (it) as a loss of four years of sacrifices."
But he’s on our side. The Dems don’t vote for our side.
Bump for later reference.
The Democrats voted in lockstep, just like the mind numbed robots that they seem to be. Putting the interests of their party ahead of those of their country.
And of course, they have the Queen that leads them.
Iraq is going to end like Vietnam, an American withdrawal and a massive bloodbath afterwards. This time, there is no good reason.
>>The legislation is the first binding challenge on the war that Democrats have managed to send to Bush since they reclaimed control of both houses of Congress in January.<<
Wrong. Only the overriding of the veto would make it “binding.”
Also - Consider how little the Democrats have done since January.
They are engaged full-time, on taxpayer’s money, in political campaigning in two areas: 1) pimping to their hard leftists on Iraq and 2) holding innumerable “hearings” which are nothing more than witch hunts.
