"They're against the war but they don't have a way for us to get out"

[Skidmore]

Says a "support P________ *" caller on Washington Journal of Dems.

That appears to be the point getting hammered on this weekend. * screwed it up with full steam ahead support of his party and they don't have a clue as to what to do. They want Dems to bail them out in the election because they don't have a clue as to what to do. They have all the power and are not able to use it to resolve the problems of the war, let alone how to get out.

Why aren't we hammering on this?

Respond.

1. The troops in Iraq will be lucky if they don't have to execute a

fighting withdrawal to get out of Iraq when the time comes. Heckuva job *!

2. Murtha's plan is the best..........

withdraw to the periphery and let the Iraqis attempt to gain control of their own country. Be there for support IF they need it, but take a back seat and let the Iraqis figure it out.
This will never happen though because the Bush Administration wants to have the final say in how the country is developed. Get rid of the Bush Administration and give it a try. I couldn't fail any worse than their present "plan".

4. Why don't we follow Reagan's fine example?

In the spring of 1983, President Reagan and his team of hawkish advisors decided to intervene in Lebanon's civil war on behalf of Christian President Amin Gemayel. On March 24, the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit was dispatched to Lebanon where Moslem and Christian factions were fighting.

On April 28, 1983, a suicide bomber drove a van loaded with 2,000 pounds of explosives into the U.S. embassy in Beirut. Sixty-three people died, including seventeen Americans.

Four months later (September 6, 1983), two U.S. Marines were killed by rocket and mortar fire. At an October 19 press conference, Reagan was asked about the safety of the Marines in Beirut to which he replied, "We're looking at everything that can be done to try and make their position safer. We're not sitting idly by."

A few days later (October 23), another suicide bomber drove a truck loaded with explosives into the headquarters building of the First Battalion, 8th Marines, located at the Beirut airport. The resulting explosion killed 241 American servicemen.

Three months later, the Reagan administration removed American troops from Beirut and put them aboard offshore ships. Reagan described the retreat as taking "decisive new steps." Explained spokesman Larry Speakes, "We don't consider this a withdrawal but more of a redeployment."

Let's just "cut and run" like Saint Ronnie of Reagan did! But wait...Saint Ronnie would never have "cut and run". That was different. We would be guilty of "cutting and running" if we did exactly the same thing now as Reagan did then, but he didn't "cut and run"...or something. I'll have to get back to you on that.

6. We need a huge neon sign that says;

"You break it--You fix it"

[acmejack]

8. Perhaps that neon signs should say DEM IDEAS!!!

Ask here-we'll explain them all to you! Republican noise is simply drowning them out!

7. Did you see that picture of the Washington times OPED Page?

Holy Moly! It certainly was the point they were pushing...

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. Sure we do. Here's the Backlash's 5 steps to leaving Baghdad:

(1) Impeach Bush.
(2) The Senate finds him guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
(3) Throw him & Cheney out of office.
(4) Vote in a Democrat who is in favor of leaving Baghdad.
(5) Leave Baghdad.

How hard can it be?
