mistake they made in getting us into this war. m They were the cheerleaders with poms-poms who blasted anyone who questioned going to war with Iraq. Remember their breathless "Are you contadicting this popular President."
They have once again got their "tummy rub" from the WHite House and are doing their bidding. Frame every story or piece on TV with a negative view of Democrats. Use the GOP talking points verbatim. "Risky precipitous withdrawal". Not one has ever acknowledged the fact that Deocratic Plan is an orderly withdrawal with some troops remaining in the Area to continue AlQeda fight.
They only have guests experts who want to stay in Iraq for 10 years.
They never point out the fact that starting with Gen. Abizaid General Casey and now General Petreus have all said unequivially that it requires 10 years to quell an Insurgency.
At least C-Span provided several panel disceussions over the past month. The panel had Experts from Recognized Think Tanks who have developed plans for getting out of Iraq. MSM and Cable news < one has to assume, have joined the GOP in the desire to send our Blood and Treasure into a Meatgrinder month after month.
A Professor Hafez, gave an outstanding presentation helping us understand the Iraqi Mindset (Culture, etc His most important piece of advice. American Leaders should have and open Debate on -- Do we stay 10 years and complete the job or Do we Cut our Losses? His own feeling is Ameicans will want to cut their losses.
Do We stay 10 years or Do we Cut Our Losses???
do we Stay 10 years or Do we cut our Losses?????
Gregory apparently is with 10 year crowd. Start calling the Media out on this???
Start making GOP Senators decide. Do we stay 10 years or Do we cut our losses????
