I suggest that my fellow FR patriots send a copy of this editorial to their congressmen and senators. It is time that a line be drawn in the sand and that we stand firm in Iraq.
It's a bizarre world when self-styled "conservative" freepers think Lieberman - a Democrat - is an oracle, while they denounce any Republican, no matter how conservative, who thinks the no-win, no-end war in Iraq is a mistake. If Goldwater were alive, he'd be furious about this no-end war. Reagan - he would never have started it to begin with. He was into winning wars - the Cold War - without invading countries.
Doolittle wants troops out of military role in Iraq
By Peter Hecht - Bee Capitol Bureau
Rep. John Doolittle, questioning whether the Iraq war is worth the continued loss of American lives, Thursday said U.S. troops should be pulled back from the front lines “as soon as possible” and the fighting should be turned over to Iraqi forces.
In this case, the criticism came from an arch-conservative Republican who had campaigned with Bush and long repeated the president’s refrain that Iraq is a central front in the war on terror.
But on Thursday, Doolittle characterized the war as a “quagmire” and said America should soon step back to a training and advisory role for Iraqi forces.
“We’ve got to get off the front lines as soon as possible,” Doolittle told a gathering at the Rocklin City Hall chambers. “And in my mind that means something like the end of the year. We just can’t continue to tolerate these kinds of losses.”
