Democrats Saying No To Iraq Plan
Democrat Reid: Iraq plan unacceptable
yahoo news
WASHINGTON
Senate Democratic leaders on Wednesday rejected the call by the top U.S. general in Iraq for a reduction of up to 30,000 U.S. troops in Iraq by next summer, saying it does not go far enough.
"This is unacceptable to me, it's unacceptable to the American people," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Reid said the recommendation by Gen. David Petraeus, expected to be embraced on Thursday by President Bush in a speech to the nation, "is neither a drawdown or a change in mission that we need. His plan is just more of the same."
"I call on the Senate Republicans to not walk lockstep as they have with the president for years in this war. It's time to change. It's the president's war. At this point it also appears clear it's also the Senate Republicans' war," Reid told a Capitol Hill news conference.
Democrats have rallied against the plan.
"We will continue the fight," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday. "I always try to find common ground with the president. ... I am asking him to give an explanation to the American people as to why our country should be engaged in a war without end without end, at least a 10 year commitment to the war in Iraq."
Wild Thing's comment.........
Harry Reid, I know the American people and you do not represent the American people. Harry Reid and most of the democrats realize that they have painted themselves - and the democrat party - into a corner with the bet on defeat. They will stop at nothing to pull a defeat from the jaws of victory. Despicable, and playing with us and our families security for the sake of votes.

LOL hat a LIE!
Yo Harry, you miserable corrupt son of a misbegotten tator tot, you don’t speak for me. I trust Petraeus. I don’t trust you. And I assure you that I’m part of the “American people.”

I like the way Bush is doing this--that way 30,000 Iraqi military troops will take our 30,000 troops place--he's weaning them off of us. Just like a good commander does.
I think the dummycraps got used to the military being under the control of the UN (during the Clinton regime) and now think they ARE the UN.
I think this is the perfect way to do this.
As a parent, you wean your child from breast milk to bottle to cup and from diapers to underwear and from school to college or marriage.
Bush is a fine man and he KNOWS what works.
Heartless Harry and the like ought to be very ashamed of themselves. Their parents are.
Don't they know that even after death, your parents can still keep an eye on you?
