Senate Passes Bill With Withdrawal Item In It

But unfortunately for them, they didn't pass it with the 2/3rds they are going to need with Bush promising that he will veto it. This is the kind of "support" you can expect from Democrats if you're relying on American troops to help you get back on your feet.

Who cares that you are having security issues? Who cares if you have corruption that needs to be weeded out? Who cares if you need us now more then ever? Democrats want to get troops home now because they think it will make them look better to their constituents. I am obviously not one of their constituents.

I believe that we should stay there as long as it takes until the Iraqi's are able to handle security and day to day operations on their own. Of course, I'm not saying that we should stay there forever, but how does it make sense to announce when you are leaving to your enemy? Democrats don't seem to think long term strategy. They just look for the "what makes me look good or gather more power now?"

"We've spoken the words the American people wanted us to speak," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada. "There must be a change of direction in the war in Iraq, the civil war in Iraq."

Even here it's blatantly obvious that Democrats aren't thinking clearly. Harry Reid says "there must be a change of direction in the war in Iraq." The American public isn't saying "retreat", they are saying, "end the violence and get the Iraqi's back on their feet as quickly as possible."

Don't speak for the American public Mr. Reid, you don't know what we think. Perhaps if you came off your high horse you'd see that?? Nah, maybe not.
