Who in Congress is advocating withdrawal?
Advertisements [?]


As in, "no strings attached". Forget the "international coalition" crap, the "free elections",( Is there any such thing? and if there WERE do you think Bush et al could POSSIBLY provide them ??)nonsense and all the other qualifications and provisos and if's whens and buts.

Just plain withdrawal... as fast as is humanly possible. Whoever they are... I'm with THEM. Seems like now, just after a nat'l election, and well before the midterms, is a good time for people to advocate for what is BEST and what is RIGHT and to heck with any political "fallout".

On a related note, I appreciated George McGovern's letter to the NY Times yesterday. Excerpt follows:

" I am for keeping Donald Rumsfeld ... because he is against increasing the number of soldiers in Iraq. Sending more soldiers only means more targets for those Iraqis who don't want our army occupying their country....
" We should bring home those ( soldiers) who are there. So, better Mr. Rumsfeld than some eager beaver who wants to double our army in the desert..."

Right again, George. Should we let this carnage go on for another three or four years before the mounting American casualties ( I mean AMERICAN, 'cause no one seems to care how many Iraqis are "smartbombed" to death; they won't even COUNT 'em!!!)force the politicians to pull-out?

Dem leaders in congress should be coming forth at this point. Opposition to this deranged policy is not only right; it could prove
prescient, politically.
