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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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”
