I think this article would be right on if posted a couple weeks ago.

But since then there is an additional development.
Since the administration is talking about withdrawing droops early-mid next year, Democrats like Biden are suddenly floating plans to do exactly this. With media cooperation, they can pretend that the Democrats are forcing Bush into a correct course of action, even though Bush had already announced his plan to do this before they did!

You are incorrect about Hillary Rodham.

She is not stupid and she has studiously avoided any kind of anti-troops, cut-and-run sentiment.

In 2008, she may have difficulty in the primaries (though I doubt she will) but she will be stronger in the general election.

She will be able to say that while she didn't think the Bush administration did the best job managing the war, she supported the war and the troops. Then she will say that the important issue right now is no longer Iraq but healthcare costs and the larger economy.

Very well done Mr. Hound!

Hillary is the beneficiary, not the lead on this.

It is the style of the Dems to put out a stalking horse to raise the issues while HRC stays in the background.

It has always been the Clinton style to let the "little people" do the dirty work while they swoop in after the dust settles to take credit.

Remember, the Dems dont take a dump without a plan, this just threw a monkeywrench in the works for them.

Interesting read ping

I actually believe this was their strategy all along.

They are not fools, thay know as well as I do that this was all coming to pass.

This was their attempt to take control of the issue.

Forcing the vote made them retreat. I hadnt seen a smackdown like that since the WWF.

This insulated the Repubs for a week or two while the Dems re-tool their strategy.

We shall see if the Repubs can out think them, I believe they can.

Good job! I think you're right.

Wake up, wideawake: the Hildabeast will *not* be the 'Rats presidential candidate in 2008. She doesn't stand a chance of winning any Southern states, and the party leadership (now controlled by Screamin' Howie and the Soros-funded moonbat parade) knows it.

My money is on a 're-invented' ALGORE: he has lots of credibility among the moonbats, he knows how to re-invent himself on a moment's notice to make himself palatable to the sheeple, and the MSM will carry his water to the moon{bat?} and back.

Good ol' Algore will be tanned, rested and ready. Mark my words ...

[wideawake]

That's one theory.

Just like old generals are always re-fighting the last war. So, too the geriatric cadres and commissars of the left are still fighting the Viet Nam War. Probably the most telling feature of anti-war crowd is their absolute lack of intellectual flexibilty. They can't let go of the glorious Tet offensive and Walter Cronkite's defeatist epiphany or The Cooper-Church ammendment handing Uncle Ho the keys to Saigon. Those were the 'Glory Days' (quoth the Boss) for democrats and SDSers. Like a fat blue-crab locked onto a Crabbers fresh chicken thigh they just can't let go if their life depended on it.

WASHINGTON, DC (GPI) -- Dr. Leonard Wilkes, Congressional Physician, is reporting that early tests indicate the unexpected presence of a testicle stem cell in the Republican Congressional Delegation. Dr. Wilkes was noncommital when asked by incredulous reporters whether it is expected to grow to adult size in the foreseeable future.

BREAKING...

I believe that putting Murtha out there to spearhead the movement was deliberate and not a bad choice.

Sadly however, he, like most of the Dems, know only one way to wage war.

Make a lot of noise, trumpet your anguish, go in half heartedly and run away before you win, just to keep it "fair".

This was just the latest attempt.

Thank GOD these people arent in power.

This is how I see what happened.

The Clintons through Pelosi set Murtha up to make this demand that we pull out of Iraq.

The Clintons know for damn sure that the only shot Hillary has of getting elected President is if there is a huge crisis and turmoil in America that would create enough political havoc so she could slip by all reasoning and snatch the Presidency in a topsy-turvy election fiasco.

So it was the Clintons that had the pull out resolution slipped to Murtha throguh Pelosi. But Murtha is not a total fool so he hedged and stalled on the idea, forcing Bill Clinton himself to declare "Iraq was a big mistake."

That then was all the simple minded coward Murtha needed to hear and then he came forward with his retreat document.

The Clintons and their Democrat cronies, and media goons were then all set to go crapheaded hysterical on this and create the false illusion that Iraq is lost and throw us into their desired turmoil, thereby setting the essential groundwork for Hillary's 08 bid.

But the Republicans pulled a brilliant move by making a similar resolution and forcing a vote. That caused the fog to be lifted and people saw what destruction the Democrats were standing on and killed this whole political treasonous angle of attack from the Clintons.

Then Bill Clinton was forced to grudgingly and bitterly say "Iraq MIGHT still work." and leaving the idiot Murtha to hang by himself.

And their media goon CNN was all bitter too and attacked Cheney with the X on his face.

To sum up this was all a plan straight from the Clintons to get Hillary elected president.

I have posted all this before but in parts, now I got it down complete.

Insightful comments all.

I concur on your HRC/WJC scenario.

That being said, I think that the entire scenario was a response to the facts on the ground and a realization that they are in deep kim-chee.

The fact is, we are winning, and are likely to have drawn down troop strenght regardless, this was an attempt to take credit for something that they not only opposed, but derided at every opportunity.

That the Repubs saw the trap and slammed the door closed was stunning.

Now that the strategy was revealed and defeated, I am curious to see how they plan to play this now.
