Comments on: House Dems Rally Support For Iraq Deadline

Bill Would Set Sept. 1, 2008, As Deadline For U.S. Combat Troop Withdrawal

I hope that 'notblue' or 'lars008' or 'US_infedel' or any pro-Bush Iraq policy supporter can someday answer two very important questions: (without using the standard regergitated GOP talking points):

1. If we shouldn't pull out of Iraq now, how long should we stay there for?

2. What will need to happen in Iraq in order for us to leave?

(And don't give me that "victory" line of Bull Schize! We the people, with above room-temperature IQ, have grown tired of that explanation).

More lip talk....

Would someone please dis-engage them from bush's posterior...

Independent is looking better every day.

My gosh - - like enabling parents.
Not once has ANY scandle monger, fraud abuser, lier, cheat, k-street scum been penalized. If it was any AMERICAN we would all be hung till dead, we just keep giving and giving. MOney, lives, retirement savings.... they have it all.

So much for doing what the people want.

Absolutely.

Of course, GW Bush isn't interested in pulling out - we're there forever.

Senate Republicans & gutless Democrats are showing their utter hypocrisy. (But then, what's new there?)
On the one hand, they decry the war & 'request' that Dubya pull US troops out of Iraq.
On the other hand, they give Dubya all the money he wants in order that he can continue his Iraq agenda without disruption.
If voters want change in regard to this kind of manipulation of public perception, (while continuing the status quo,) they will have to wait until next year for the chance.
