Dems Plan to Force Change in Iraq Policy
WASHINGTON (AP) – Emboldened by their congressional election triumph and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld’s resignation, Democrats say they will use their new clout to force a change in Iraq policy and demand that President Bush start bringing troops home.
Iraq President Says Democrats Reassuring
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) – President Jalal Talabani said Thursday that he had been assured by Democrat congressional leaders during a recent visit to Washington that they had no plans for a quick withdrawal of U.S. forces.
I am confident that the AP is burning up the phone lines trying to reconcile these two stories.

That’s why you cannot capitulate to the Dems. Once they smell blood, they go into full feeding-frenzy mode.
Ya noticed?!
Climb outta the bunker, guys…the war is over (for now).
It’s rainbows and ponies time.
This is going to be a lot of fun. It’s one thing to watch the Kos Kids and the more sober elements of the Democratic party hold hands and sing the BDS version of Kumbaya. But now that there are going to be Dems in charge, and they’re going to find themselves actually doing things, the love affair is going to be ovuh.
It looks like we’re going to go right to the entree on this buffet. Can you imagine the collective look on the mindhive’s face when they realize we’re not leaving Iraq?
Kerry lied, people died!
If the force starts being reduced, its a ‘start bringing the troops home.’ But its not a ‘quick withdrawl’ unless thats done, well, quickly.
Rocket science eh?
Have we captured bin Laden yet? And when we do, can we just say the war is over and get back to the business of pushing for Universal Healthcare and a national ban on transfats, bullies, smoking, bullies who smoke, fat people, people who bully fat people, fur, SUVs, fat bullies who wear fur, and any pet that was created for the express purpose of being a pet?
After all, that’s what the government is FOR!
SENDING TROOPS TO IRAQ HAS DIVERTED US FROM THE REAL WAR, THE WAR ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY!
BRING THE TROOPS HOME AND LET THEM FIGHT THE SCOURGE OF CORN SYRUP IN OUR CHILDREN’S BEVERAGES! AND THIS TIME, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE APPROPRIATE BODY ARMOR!
“withdrawal”
“withdrawl” is a way of speaking: Vern murmured “Thank you, ma’am” in withdrawl.
Well, George McGovern has been raised from the dead to come help us, so we got that goin’ for us….
Actually, seeing the wrong direction the Dems are alreadly taking does give me some measure of comfort.
A great deal, in fact.
What’s the over-under on the number of vetoes Bush uses in the first 100 days? Not that it matters, ‘cuz I’m taking the over.
Well, where is my rainbow? NANCY, WHERE ARE THE RAINBOWS YOU PROMISED!!??
How many, how quickly? Plus, Talabani had the Dems talking about “redeploying: to bases in Iraq (presumably the north) as well. Not that actus would know any more about military logistics than he does rocket science. I’m sure the AP is on the phone getting those answers even now. Because the press always asks those tough questions.
Ponies? PONIES!!!!??? I’m hoping you just missed the horns on their foreheads, cause I was promised UNICORNS!!!! EVERYONE but the most stupidest people know that UNICORNS come with rainbows. you moran.
