What truly leaves me bemused and befuddled is how you can say you dont understand or never got an answer how the Democrats feel about funding and bringing the troops home. ...when it was laid out clearly in the Iraq Accountability Act (which i posted at least twice in response to your question), with the actions they included regarding redeployment,diplomatic strategies, etc.:
Directs the President to commence the phased redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq no later than 120 days after the enactment of this Act, with the goal of redeploying, by March 31, 2008, all U.S. combat forces from Iraq except for a limited number essential for: (1) protecting U.S. and coalition personnel and infrastructure; (2) training and equipping Iraqi forces; and (3) conducting targeted counterterrorism operations.
Requires redeployment implementation as part of a comprehensive diplomatic, political, and economic strategy that includes sustained engagement with Iraq's neighbors and the international community to collectively bring stability to Iraq.
Requires reports from the President to Congress every 90 days on progress made in implementing such redeployment.
All 51 Dem senators voted for it and 219 Dem House members (10 opposed).
Why is that so hard to understand?
I got as far into the IBD editorial as
"they left the president in firm possession of the moral high ground." ....then i couldnt take it seriously.
