Why isn't Kucinich asking for immediate withdraw from Iraq?

[berni_mccoy]

I find it curious that he wouldn't take this to the obvious next step and add Iraq (which rightly, should be first on the list).

Obviously, this isn't an oversight, so it was intentional to not include Iraq on the list. I know President Obama is in the process of withdrawing troops from Iraq, but Kucinich put a 30 day requirement on Afghanistan withdraw, he could have easily included Iraq.

1. We have a withdrawal date for Iraq.

And, it is on schedule, so far.

W need a withdrawal date for Afghanistan. That is the point of the bill, to encourage a withdrawal date.

3. But many people here don't believe that. Are you saying Kucinich is good with the Iraq plan?

[tekisui]

5. I don't know how Kucinich feels about the Iraq plan.

But, this bill is to get a withdrawal date for the Afghanistan War. It should get more of a focus. Iraq has an exit schedule.

More soldiers are dying in Afghanistan, at an increasing rate. Afghanistan is escalating, which is why a withdrawal date is so badly needed.

2. dennis voted to go into Afghanistan and

he thinks he knows more about when the job is finished than those on the ground?

6. Would you say the same for those who sought

withdrawal from Iraq?

9. You mean more than the corrupt Bush leftovers running the war?

The ones that have winked at civilian killings, prisoner torture, illegal weapon sales, the electrocution of our troops, and the poisoning of Falljah? Those guys on the ground?

11. Yeah I think a US Congressman knows more than your average grunt.

7. Darn that Kucinich! Is he not not kneeling before the king again?

That troublemaker. He is such a hypocrite.

8. You don't like the question?

Having trouble with it?

Don't like the thought of it?

Hmmm. got nothing but personal attacks. Worthless.

10. ...and you have nothing but flamebait

Not to mention a deeply troubling obsession with Dennis Kucinich. Kind of interesting you don't heap scorn on Bart Stupak and his misogynist ways in the House.

12. This meme is getting tiresome.

One of the only dems actually looking out for us is being tarred and feathered on DEMOCRATIC Underground. Wow.

[berni_mccoy]

14. Why is asking a question flamebait? And Denis has put himself in the spotlight

It's the topic du jour. If you don't like it, perhaps you should take a break from DU.
