Pullout date in Dems' Plan: 12 months or 18 months?

[Triana]

Which is it? I've read both here. Yap. I'm too lazy to read it. ;)

1. Eighteen. n/t

2. ummm....I think it's both

but I'm sure someone will be along with specifics shortly. :)

The House has one date/timeline, the Senate a different date/timeline and at least one of them is "non-binding". It's to be hashed out in conference...note: "hashed out" will likely come to the same fate as the part about Prez needing to come to Congress for military action against Iran.

3. Thanks. I *think* the House version is 18 months....

...correct if I'm wrong.

4. 18 months for combat troops

forever for abut 75,000 support troops to protect the bases, the US palace and the oil.

5. Jeesus...

...that's sick.

"forever for abut 75,000 support troops to protect the bases, the US palace and the oil."

Ugh...make me just wanna smack the sh*t out of some people. No idea WHO though. :evilgrin:

6. yeah,, Nancy Pelosi and most of the liberals and

progs, really want to keep 75,000 troops their indefinitely. What a crock of shit. And that interpretation is definitely arguable.

Here's what I don't understand: I know you think DU has become a subsidiary of the DLC, and you don't have any use for the vast majority of dems, or care much about getting them elected so why bother posting here?
