How about in their own words?
Iraq
To Honor the Sacrifice of Our Troops, we will:Ensure 2006 is a year of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty, with the Iraqis assuming primary responsibility for securing and governing their country and with the responsible redeployment of U.S. forces.
Insist that Iraqis make the political compromises necessary to unite their country and defeat the insurgency; promote regional diplomacy; and strongly encourage our allies and other nations to play a constructive role.
Hold the Bush Administration accountable for its manipulated pre-war intelligence, poor planning and contracting abuses that have placed our troops at greater risk and wasted billions of taxpayer dollars.
So, the Dems can say they aren't for cutting and running in Iraq, but, that is a lie. Not quite sure how that honors the sacrifice of our military, but, that is a left winger for you. Retreat and surrender is "honorable."
Nancy Pelosi can say that, as Speaker, impeachment isn't on the table, where else would the hearings lead to? You can listen and watch her lie here.
You can also see exactly where the Defeatocrats stand with the impeachment legislation they have introduced.
Is that what you want?
I heard Howard Dean on TV this morning saying that ‘when’ the dems win the house that they won’t have the power to take the troops out of Iraq.
The interviewer persisted in asking him what the dems would do since they had been so vocal about getting the troops out of Iraq. He kept avoiding the question.
Finally, he said that ‘all’ (ALL) the dems felt that since the troops are already there even though they didn’t think they should have been there – that they would have no choice but to finish the job. He then went on to assert that jush having control of the house didn’t mean they’d have the power to actually DO anything.
HUH????
I wish I could find that interview on the internet – but I only heard part of it and don’t even know what show it was on … so they are already backpeddlin and setting it up to blame their lack of real power as why they won’t fulfill their pledges.
The gutless democrats are full of excuses and BS. That’s about all there is to them. Now Barney Frank is proposing the first step of the democrats planned One World Government (Drudge Report) and the United States will not be a the top nor an independent country when they’re through. Selling the country and future generations down the drain doesn’t seem to bother them.
Beth, that “power” thing has been their excuse for 5 years: “we’re not in power, so why should we have plans?” In reality, they do not want to announce their plans, because they would not play well in Peoria. Abortion on demand, the Nanny state, high taxes, as Scrapiron said, the whole “one world” thing, etc.
