Casey urges troop withdrawal from Iraq

[RamboLiberal]

Pennsylvania's Sen. Bob Casey today said the Bush administration is only considering a token withdrawal of U.S. soldiers from Iraq to placate critics of the war, in advance of next week's official report on the progress of the troop "surge."

He based his assessment on news reports that Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander of U.S. forces, has suggested pulling about 4,000 troops at the beginning of next year.

The Iraqis need a "very clear and unambiguous" statement that we're going to withdraw, Mr. Casey, a Democrat, said at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank based in Washington, DC.

"We're out of patience. Look at what we've already contributed to this war," he said. "You've got to get moving."

1. Yay!

Maybe our calls and emails are really having some effect.

2. Okay, Senator Casey. Put your money where your mouth is and take the lead in Congress,

along with Murtha, to get us out of Iraq.

Your constituents elected you in the hopes that you would do so. SO DO IT!

3. Why he doesn't seem to have the time

to do something like that with answering all those emails from his constituants and voting on important stuff like supporting bush's ability to keep spying on us and condemming moveon.org's ad for betrayus.:wtf: :think: :dunce:

4. The moveon ad was phenomenally stupid

and it's no wonder our people had to distance themselves from it. I don't mind critisizing the man's testimony but that was a big hand out for the repubs.

5. No more stupid than the ads

that were put out by republicons on democrats. Why do we have to distance ourselves when it comes to this stuff and the republicons don't?

6. Good moveon.org ad against Norm Coleman

The same ad could probably be modified to fit just about all pro-Bush and pro-war congressmen.
