As quickly as possible and as far away as possible. I think the military people have to tell you how fast you can do it safely, but it wouldn't be one of these things [where I would] wait six months to start. I would do it immediately; I would certainly move the Navy away from the shores of Iran — and from intimidating Iran and trying to provoke them and [to] spread the war…..Thanks for that link. I highlighted some phrases that are key for me. Safely, to me, doesn't just mean safely for our troops but safely for the Iraqi people and safely for our reputation in the ME.

Is your name Ron Paul?

If not, an immediate withdrawl, consulting the military on safety, means an immediate withdrawl.

And the fact that to you safety means safety for the Iraqi people and our reputation means absolutely nothing. That's not Paul's position, you made it up.

To suggest that Ron Paul supports the deployment of troops to provide a safe enviornment for the Iraqi people is absurd. It flies in the face of his many statements that troops be deployed only in the interest of a direct security threat to the homeland.

Thanks for another example of how the Ron Paul BS artists twist his positions.

You missed my point. I was proposing what I, personally, see as a reasonable way of extricating ourselves from Iraq. And I am not Ron Paul. I will not tolerate a miserable VN-style cut'n'run.
