Isn’t this a plan some Dems have actually proposed? The plan went something like we pull out but keep enough troops “in the region” to go back in if they were needed.

when we have the right person in the White House.”

Ding Ding Ding!! There it is!

“George Bush ordered the invasion...to get Iraqi oil.”

Huh? Reid really believes that?

Well, oil cost a helluva lot less in March, 2003 than it does now. I’d say the alleged oil grab didn’t work out to well, Mr. Leader.

[Vanbasten]

It’s almost too accurate to be funny.

"Isn’t this a plan some Dems have actually proposed? The plan went something like we pull out but keep enough troops “in the region” to go back in if they were needed."

Yep. Murtha wanted them redeployed to Okinawa. The dimmocrat talking points at the time included heavy use of the term "over the horizon."

My God, I thought it was real till I got past "My bill calls for a do-over".

” said Sen. Reid, “is that George Bush ordered the invasion to get revenge on Saddam Hussein and to get Iraqi oil”

this article is so preposterous, i don’t think its real.

[CORedneck]

Sounds like Viet Nam again ! Take a hill, many soldiers get killed in the process and then get ordered to leave and ordered to retake, more soldiers killed again !

What bull$h!t !

[showme_the_Glory]

Wait in nearby Okinawa for 21 months......yeah, that’s it.

I guess he thinks we should do like General Eisenhower did in WW-II. Ten days after the Normandy invasion he pulled the troops off the beaches and brought them back to England and sent a harsh letter to Hitler to shape up or we will come back and get you.

You mean it really did not happen that way? I am shocked I tell you shocked!

"It’s almost too accurate to be funny."

Huh ??? Please explain.

[Vanbasten]

This is satire from scrappleface right?

At first read, I thought it was a real story not satire.

Reid Compromise Would Pull Troops, Re-Invade Iraq

Hmmm, sounds like a good idea to me. Next time let's invade it to conquer and pacify it and not as liberators, peace keepers and nation builders.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Why sir, you are correct - it is scrappleface.

[SolidWood]

The article is scrappleface... it’s satire, but always close to the truth.

[janereinheimer]

Now, I never claimed to be a military genius, but I’m just wondering what Reid could possibly have in mind by drawing up a plan for an immediately withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Then a waiting period of 21 months.

Then a sweeping new surge in Iraq that would wipe out all of the new AQ headquarters and the training camps in Iraq. This surge would begin in January 2009, providing, of course, that there were an appropriate outcome for the November 2008 election.

So, let’s see — first he wanted all the troops to be withdrawn, starting in October of this year. Nary a mention in the old Reid Bill for any kind of re-attack plan.

Now he wants an immediate withdrawal of troops and — after a little while — a gangbusters redeployment.

Good Great Geronimo!

Reid sounds like he got ahold of Custer’s Big Battle Plan.

We’re doomed, folks.

I read the whole thing and didn’t see it was a sham until the end -

I know it’s scrappleface, but the sheer stupidity reid has demonstrated of late, kinda numbed me to the satire.

First I laughed when I realized, then I was sad because it wasn’t that hard to believe he’d said it.

We have a helluva a mess in D.C.

[Paperdoll]

And his rationale is whatever you say it is, right, Harry Reid?

What is this about Congress sending the original vetoed bill back to the President, over and over and over?
The Democrat Congress is showing it’s true colors - bright to blood RED.

[ryan71]

Don’t feel bad.

I spent 3 minutes writing an intense comment when it dawned on me, “What’s the source? Ah crap! They got me again!”.

Reid is such a clown, nothing surprises me.
