Again, when they’re capable that’s the idea. The hope is they will indeed be capable soon, I agree they have to step up and do their part and right now, as we’ve done ours.
Seems they’re making that progress now more than ever before, and I’ll trust Petraeus and the generals on the ground for letting the American people know when that point is reached.
‘Hypocrats’ is not a name, it’s a legitimate description of what was once the democrat party now that Zell Miller is retired and Joe Lieberman is an independent.
There simply are no democrats left that don’t have some kind of major issue with hypocrisy as far as I can tell. I don’t know enough about Evan Bayh, some say he’s decent enough, but Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Kennedy, Byrd, Kerry, Clinton, Edwards, Obama, Jackson-Lee,...well, it’s overwhelmingly represented by hypocrats.
Well I do, he was my governor for 8 years. As Gov. of IN believe it or not he was fairly conservative. He did raise taxes as a typical dem will do and he's pro-choice, etc. but otherwise fairly conservative which is what the DNC will blare from the headlines if he's nominated as VP.
BUT, and here's the disclaimer from someone who DOES know him -- he went completely left-wing - all the way left-wing when he went to Washington. He became a lackey for the DNC and did whatever they told him to do, and ignored phone calls and letters from his constituents back home in Indy.
You cannot count on this man deviating in any way from mainstream demoncrats. He will be whatever they want him to be.
And clearly we are very close since we have begun withdrawing some combat units.
We just need to be careful to recognize when our role has changed and we can let the Iraqi's take over the responsibility of defending their own nation, which they are capable of doing.
