SIOUX CITY, Iowa — John Edwards says that if elected president he would withdraw the American troops who are training the Iraqi army and police as part of a broader plan to remove virtually all American forces within 10 months.

What an idiot. Not even his friends in the dinosaur media can cover that gaffe.

[RichInOC]

No, John. But as always, I believe we should have the common courtesy to offer the insurgents a reacharound.

[savedbygrace]

If only the dumbest Dims vote in the caucuses and primaries from here to the end, and Edwards gets the nom, he will get shmushed by whoever the pubbies stand up.

This was a bigtime dumb move by Silky.

[srmorton]

He should stop commenting on foreign policy. He only shows his ignorance and complete lack of understanding of the subject.

[K-oneTexas]

No the insurgents will come in and begin training the army anf police. Thanks John.

[oldenuff2no]

The war is won and the demostupids are still bound and determined for us to fail and be defeated.
Where do they find these morons?????

[Anti-Bubba182]

Edwards will be fine with this tack in Iowa at least. Iowa Democrats who caucus are more left leaning than the average Democrat. Edwards has to win in Iowa and this would tend to help him there.

[SandRat]

Edwards another Democrat Endorsed by al-Qaeda and the Taliban brought to you by Osama bin Laden.

Here at this time of the year we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, and we all yearn for peace in the world. Is peace the absence of conflict? No, it is when everyone lives in freedom and in control of his/her own destiny.

Edwards is obviously opposed to peace. His constant rhetoric opposing peace is deafening.

To pull our troops (the peacemakers) out of the mideast is a dagger in the heart of peace.

It seems to me the American goal in Iraq and the mid-east is, and has been bringing about peace where there never has been.

[reagan_fanatic]

Edward’s half-assed plan has about as much of a chance of happening as him becoming President.

[Yardstick]

Now that’s using the ol’ bean!

[samanella]

Edwards’ net worth is over 30 million. Why hasn’t anyone asked him how much of that he has donated to the ‘other America’? What a fraud.

[Radix]

Edwards has to be the premier hypocrite of the 21st century.

Fortunately there is a big “if’ in that quote.

The man has simply been masturbating in public for the last 4 years at least.

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me .. aren’t these the same people who have been whining for YEARS that the Iraqis haven’t been stepping up to the plate .. and just how on earth do they expect the Iraqis to step up if THEY DON’T KNOW HOW ..??

THE LUNACY OF THE LEFT CONTINUES ..!!!!!

[Halls]

he’ll say anything to get elected, won’t he? He can’t keep that promise and he knows it. He is one big dummy!

[freema]

Too stupid for words.

[Humble Servant]

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep,
I Pray You’ll Give Us John To Beat;
If I Die Before The Race,
Let Edwards Be The Dem We Face.

PLEASE OH PLEEEAASE give us Edwards; we’ll beat him like a rented fool!!!

[Islander7]

Stupid is as stupid does.

[JewishRighter]

In response, I propose a constitutional amendment that says that “the phrase “exit strategy” shall be and henceforth is prohibited under penalty of death and shall be replace with the word “VICTORY” as the sole determinant and object of any use of American armed forces anywhere at any time”
