Why does the Bush administration hate America since they’re apparently ready to cut and run?

Not only should the Dems lean on the abundant corruption and incompetence of the GOP, they should take on Karl Rove’s brand of underhanded campaigning, and his use of these ‘flip-flopper’ and ‘cut and run’ themes to avoid or confuse serious debate. Karl has made himself ‘fair game’ by personally attacking Dems; it’s time to make Rove’s dirty politics a national campaign issue. If the Dems need some help with research, they can start with ‘Bush’s Brain’ (the book and film) and move on from there; he’s got a record as long as your right arm.

There are those who oppose the present administration, with Body and Soul…

But the idiots who publish the items at this web-site are such tools of misinformation, as to serve so eagerly (and seemingly with such ignorance) the administration’s talking points.

And so you’re going to advance their sudden talking-point (suddenly after the Senate’s surprisingly strong 39 member support for redeployment)…

Their bullshit about a “secret redeployment plan”?

You here are such idiots, you’re only retarding the movement; you’re such easy dupes and stupes for administration talking points…

Just who is it so stupid as to give money to such liberal morons who are played so easily by the fiddle of an Evil Administration?

Hey bones – like your name. Guess it could mean the bones of the fallen because of an illegal invasion into a sovereign nation.

You are correct. It’s time for the Dems to take the Repubs words and turn these words against the Repubs.

I like Senator Kerry’s statement regarding traitor Rove’s concern about votes in November and Democrats’ concern about saving American lives.

Now’s the time for every Democrat to accuse the republicans of “cutting and running” and “being there for the first shot but having no stomach for the long war”…

Actually, this will help the Democrats, such as Jack Murtha, in the fall by showing support to their demands for troop withdrawal. It’s all in the presentation.

There will still be issues with health care, Medicare Part D, education, and the HUGE DEFICIT. It would be great if Ross Perot appeared with those charts. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Geuss the spin will have to be “Democrats influence Republican Iraq withdrawal timelines”. Or “Bush finally acts upon the advice of Democrats by annoucing early troop withdrawal.”

WAKE UP FOLKS!

General Casey came back to consult with the prez and the War Department just as the Dems were bringing up two resolutions on withdrawal.

He was told by Rover boy to announce, ahead of those votes, his egghead plan, which is the same as the dems plan. And – the ignorant neo-cons posting on this site under the pay of Rove know it, but are stupid.

Casey was told, I mean ordered, to announce a plan for withrawal PRIOR TO THE ELECTION. Doubt that, you are a fool!

The Bush Regime is playing politics with the lives of thousands of service people, and the neo-cons think it is fine what he is doing, but disgraceful what the dems are doing. Does it make sense? Only if you are a moonbat patrolist. That individual is so far out in right field he dont know where home plate is.

Here’s a reasoned analysis as to why Iraq, Katrina and our government = FUBAR

Even smart Republicans just have no answer to this, and the best they can do is try to explain away their big W. or act as apologists.

Just because they start writing up a plan, doesn’t mean they will follow the plan. This is a ploy to convince the american public the repulicans are planning to get out of Iraq. I would be suprised if they actually pulled any troops.

[...] Apparently Bush has secretly been planning to do just that all along, while he excoriates those who have even suggested it. The Iraqis have now gone on record demanding it. [...]

Whatever makes sense before the November elections is the “right” thing to do, I suppose.

Army wives get phone death threats from Iraq

Wives and family members of soldiers fighting in Iraq have received telephone calls, believed to include death threats, from insurgents, according to military documents seen by The Sunday Telegraph.

The “nuisance” calls have been made with increasing frequency over the past few weeks after insurgents managed to obtain home numbers from soldiers’ mobile telephones.

The growing number of calls has led to an investigation by the Royal Military Police, which has issued a warning to all soldiers in Iraq to take great care when using mobile telephones to call home.

The Bush Regime will never end the Iraq occupation as long as they remain in power, so this is another reason to impeach Dubya and Dicky ASAP! The sooner they are gone, then the sooner all the troops can come home from Iraq!

I agree with the comment posted by Leslie above. The current plan calls for a reduction of only about 28,000 troops from the total, which is barely above 20%. That’s not as much of a reduction as I’d like to see.

Mr. Rumsfeld told reporters on Thursday that no final decisions would come on troop withdrawals until General Casey consulted with the new Iraqi government. “We expect that General Casey will come back and make a recommendation after he’s had those discussions, which he has not yet had,” he said.

Hey Moonbat, does this make Donnie a traitor too????

Yes, as Bush was busy tarring the Democrats for “cut and run,” he was also devising the same. In addition to working with the Iraqis to devise a withdrawal plan. But if you look closely at the drawdown plan, I believe you’ll see it’s pure spin timed to appease Americans by November. Out of 130,000 troops in Iraq, the commander’s plan calls for withdrawing 28,000 by the end of 2007. Not exactly a sharp reduction!

I think the Times, both of them, are trying to push the administration’s hand regarding prosecutions for journalists and intel leakers. Sure the program,s have been compromised, which in itself is as debatable as V. Plame’s outing, but aren’t the Congress and the White House becoming impotent? All the fist pounding and accusations are just bluster if there are no prosecutions.I think the Adminisrtations obfuscatory, weasel like manner on so may issues regarding truthful information is being used on them. Now, where is Porter Goss? Is Dana Priest under indictment, or James Risen? I really believe this info about the SWIFT program is just one of many coming down the pike to call the Administration’s hypocritical bluster on treasonous accusations.
