Time to end Iraq war, Democrats tell Bush
2007-01-06
The US Congress’ new Democratic leaders warned President George W Bush on Friday that surging more troops into Iraq would fail and it was time to end the war. New Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and new House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Bush to start a phased redeployment of US forces within four to six months. “After nearly four years of combat, tens of thousands of US casualties and over 300 billion dollars, it is time to bring the war to a close,” the two leaders wrote.“The American people demonstrated in the November elections that they do not believe your current Iraq policy will lead to success and that we need a change of direction for the sake of our troops,” the letter said. “Surging forces is a strategy that you have already tried and that has already failed. “Adding more combat troops will only endanger more Americans and stretch our military to the breaking point for no strategic gain. ... We are well past the point of more troops for Iraq.”

#6  Everytime they bring up getting out of Iraq, just ask them their exit strategy to get our troops out of Germany. Isn't 60 years enough?

I seriously wonder if the Democrats are even human, they honestly don't give a shit about people except as pawns. They're EVIL.

#4  After careful thought, I must conclude that the Dem's view has much merit. We need to withdraw our forces immediately.

We need to protect out troops from harm during the withdrawal process. We should use air power and deal harshly with any forces resisting our withdrawal. On the way out we should destroy any assets that can be used militarily by our enemies.

We should immediately commence the withdrawal and consolidation of our forces. Since we already have considerable forces in Afghanistan, we should withdraw our Iraq forces overland to a new consolidated position in Afghanistan. To provide additional protection to our withdrawing troops, part of our Afghan contingent should meet the withdrawing troops halfway in order to escort them.

#3  Only in America = Amerika do we have to unilater "obey" a UNO = World Community that won't uphold its own credibility-resolutions unless the USA takes the lead; and talk of "exit strategy" before we actually invade/attack any one - you know, "USSA, NOT USSR etc" ergo USSA must surrender first to USSR, etc.

#2  Two Eagles on War, and the White Man.

An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials that were sent to interview him. "Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "you have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his
technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done." The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued,
"Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The Chief stared at the government officials for over a
minute, and then calmly replied. "When white man found this land, Indians were running it. No taxes. No debt. Plenty buffalo. Plenty
beaver. Women did all the work. Medicine man free. Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing. All night having sex."

Then the Chief leaned back and smiled... "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve a system like that."

#1  I think we should have a full national vote.

Choice A: We WIN whatever that cost it will be done NO SURRENDER NO DEFEAT

Choice B: We will accept defeat immediatley initiate Dimmini taxes for all Jews & Christians that wont covert kill all athiest, fornicators, ect.. by stoning as per our newly adopted Sharia Law right after we burn both the Bill of Rights and of course every Legal book in the country.

On 9-11 or 93' or Cole or Narobia or Kenya or ect... we had NO TROOPS IN NEITHER IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN why is it that people are so f*cking retarted that some dimwitt pansie LLL can say "if we bring them home we wont have to fight no more we can stop the casualties" without being drouned out in laughter, (by the way just latley after 2invasions, conquest, & 4yrs of occupation of highly hostile populations we just recently matched the number of dead civilians we suffered in 2hrs on 9-11).
