4 paragraphs from article from this topic:

from Reuters
A Republican congressman called for a deadline to pull U.S. troops from Iraq, while some other members of President Bush's party urged Sunday that his administration come to grips with a persistent insurgency and revamp Iraq policy.

Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina conservative, said ABC's "This Week" that he would offer legislation this week setting a timetable for the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

"I voted for the resolution to commit the troops, and I feel that we've done about as much as we can do," said Jones, who coined the phrase "freedom fries" to lash out at the French
for opposing the Iraq invasion.

According to a new Gallup Poll, nearly six in 10 Americans say the United States should withdraw some or all of its troops from Iraq, up from 49 percent who held that view in February, USA Today reported in its Monday edition.

2. They see the writing on the wall,but
the Dems, a little slow on the draw, will end up backing this war to the bitter end. Attn: Biden, Lieberman,Harold Ford, assorted pink tutu crowd, it's time to end this shit. The Pukes will end up blaming this on Democrats who were afraid to say no.

some of them would like us to occupy all arab countries. Some of them however, are not unjustifiably afraid of the Fascist movement finding a way to blame Democrats for Bush's failure and inevitable retreat from Iraq.

Even before the last helicopter leaves from the embassy roof, Rove and the other neo-Nazi propagandameisters will already be honing their message that Democratic, Liberal betrayal at home is why we had to abandon our glorious victory and achievement in Iraq. You can fucking count on it.

5. Yes to Timetable -- Get out now ! Just like Kucinich said a
year ago -- there will never be a win. So you can get out now or wait a year and have more people killed and then get out.
