The Real Choice on Iraq
by Ned Lamont

Dear Senator Lieberman,

Fifteen months ago, in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal praising the Bush Administration's Iraq policy, you asked the rhetorical question, "does America have a good plan for doing this, a strategy for victory in Iraq?"

"Yes," we did, you answered.

Since the day you wrote those words, over 1,000 more American troops have lost their lives in Iraq and that country is more dangerous than ever.

Senator, you had it exactly wrong then, and this week, in another Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled "The Choice on Iraq," you have managed to get it exactly wrong yet again.

THE REST:

Lamont hasn't forgotten us cause I sure haven't forgotten him..and all he tried to do for our Country.

"You claim that "a precipitous pullout would leave a gaping security vacuum in its wake."

Actually, Senator, it was the precipitous invasion that you supported, along with its disastrous aftermath, which left the security vacuum that exists today - a vacuum which the terrorists, insurgents, and militias have all rushed to fill.

You plead for elected officials to "come together around a constructive legislative agenda for our security."

Senator, we have already done this. The result was the bipartisan (remember that word?) Baker-Hamilton report which called for a redeployment of our troops over twelve months, plus aggressive diplomacy, as our best hope to bring stability to the region. The report's conclusions were widely accepted by a strong majority of Democrats and Republicans, and then promptly disregarded by you, the President, and all those who had "already made up their minds," the facts be damned."

Ned Lamont :patriot: :patriot:

joe lieman :traitor: to our country.
