Exclamation Iraq No Reason To Vote Dem

Just as we've been saying all along, all the Dems can agree on is that they don't like how Bush is handling Iraq. But why should anyone trust they'll come up with a "better solution" later if they can't even agree to one now in order to save this election for themselves?

Democrats Divided on Iraq Solution
(Complete article can be read at link above)

By JOHN M. BRODER
Published: October 27, 2006

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 — If the Nov. 7 election in the United States is a referendum on the Iraq war, what are the choices?

Democratic leaders and candidates are virtually unanimous in opposing the president’s conduct of the war, and most advocate American disengagement — either quickly or slowly. But most are not calling for an immediate withdrawal of American forces or offering a vision of what postwar Iraq should look like. They say they stand for change, but the variety of formulations is dizzying.

I sure as hell have not heard a single plan for Iraq from the Republicans except we are going to stay the course. A course that has worked oh so well thus far.

How do you know how well it's worked? Are you one of the great military minds of the century who's been privy to every document that's crossed every desk at the pentagon and now you've come here incognito to tell us all the details about how this war is really going? Or are your fingers just flapping in the never ending hot air wafting out of your favorite mainstream media resort?

Yes as a matter of fact.. I talk to my son on a routine basis. He just did two 1 year tours over there, the second of which he volunteered for. I've also kept in contact with several of the guys in his current unit and the unit he went over with the first time and the biggest complaint I hear from ALL of them is that the media here is NOT telling it like it is.

Now what is your source for all your alleged knowledge about the war?

The point of this thread is that the Dems, with all their loud talk about how badly this war is going and how Bush isn't handling it right don't have a plan either. And even if they won the 20 Senate seats they're dreaming about Bush would still be president. They've known all along that they were going to try to use Iraq as part of their platform so if they were really able to do a better job than Bush and our current reps don't you think they would have come up with a plan by now that at least they could all agree on? Good grief, it's NINE days till the election.

Well KIX, like I told you earlier they are always two sides to every story and every opinion. I guess you son and veterans in the links below are seeing two totally different wars!

http://www.mfso.org/

http://www.ivaw.org/

http://www.motherjones.com/news/feat...11/10_400.html

Also, 39 of the 50 veterans running for congress this year are running as Democrats b/c they don't like what's happening in Iraq!!!!

They haven't had a plan for the last 20 years.

Oh wow... 2 one/hundreds of the people who've served in Iraq are saying they disagree with the war? Oh my goodness, we need to pull ALL the troops out because a few crybabies didn't like having to go to war AFTER VOLUNTEERING FOR THE MILITARY!

Wrong... Democrats are running for congress because they don't like the Republicans having control. And they can't even agree between themselves what should be done about Iraq. But I guess you didn't figure you needed to even read the article when you could just post your rant, right RASTAMAN?
