Vermont lawmakers call for U.S troop withdrawal in Iraq
2007-02-14
Vermont lawmakers called on Congress and the president Tuesday to immediately withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, becoming the first state legislature to do so.

The vote came as the U.S. House of Representatives began debating a resolution opposing President Bush's planned surge of troops into Iraq and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate prepared to do the same. But the Vermont House and Senate went further, telling Congress and President Bush it was time "to commence immediately the orderly withdrawal of American military forces from Iraq."

#7  The sad irony is that we just might be on the cusp of making major gains in stabilizing Iraq. Moqtada al-Sadr has gone AWOL and the effects of the "surge" have not yet been fully felt.

Could our Donkeys of Defeat just hold off with telegraphing their plans to ensure our surrender for just a wee bit longer?

#5  I'm from Vermont. I'm Republican, conservative, a US Army veteran (disabled) and work for a living. I am glad the Republicans in the House and the Senate voted against it. Too bad we are outnumbered. There are too many Socialists in Vermont. If we are making a short list for expellee states, Massachusetts, NJ, Delaware, etc should top the lit. Too many carpetbaggers in Vermont from the surrounding region, a kind of infection.

#4  Too bad there's no provision in the Constitution for expelling a state from the Union. Vermont would be a good use of it.

#3  They'll have to get their heating oil from Chavez if I have anything to say about it (and I just might).
This will help acquaint these grandstanding moonbats with a mysterious new (to them) principle, "cause and effect." It is something like karma but it happens in the same lifetime.
