Reid Compromise Would Pull Troops, Re-Invade Iraq
by Scott Ott
(2007-05-03) — A day after Congress failed to override a presidential veto of a Democrat-sponsored bill that would tie troop funding to a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed hope that his new compromise legislation might meet with greater success.
The Reid bill calls for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, followed by a waiting period of about 21 months, then a fully-funded re-invasion “under more compelling circumstances,” according to the text of the legislation.
Experts agree that a U.S. pull-out now would open the door for al Qaeda to make Iraq its base for launching global jihad. Sen. Reid said today that eliminating a safe haven for terrorists offers ample justification for invading a country, like the U.S. did to overthrow the Taliban regime in Afghanistan — a war which Democrats still support.
“The problem with the Iraq war,” said Sen. Reid, “is that George Bush ordered the invasion to get revenge on Saddam Hussein and to get Iraqi oil, under the pretense that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. My bill calls for a do-over, but this time we invade for the right reasons, when we have the right person in the White House.”
Citing President Bill Clinton’s bombing of Iraq, Mr. Reid said, “Democrats don’t oppose military action in principle, so long as we have confidence in our commander-in-chief and support his rationale.”
Under the terms of the measure, the re-invasion to destroy al Qaeda’s new Iraqi headquarters and expected network of Iraqi training camps, would start in January 2009, “contingent upon an appropriate outcome of the U.S. presidential election in November 2008.”
Oops!
I did the same.
Substitute redeploy for reinvade and it’s your typical democrat quote.
All Scrappleface articles need to be posted with “SATIRE” in huge 72-point type right at the beginning, because they are getting to be way too close to the truth. ;)
Not the first tome I’ve been had by Scrappleface :-)
You know, we could work this same deal with Germany. They invade France but this time they’re nicer about it. It could work.
“George Bush ordered the invasion...to get Iraqi oil.”
I’d like to see some PROOF that we went over there and overtook the oil fields. Why don’t the Republicans DEMAND proof of this lie?
Yup. I agree. At every protest, you always see a sign that reads “No war for oil!” Stupid.
