Some dem's already back pedaling on Iraq already

These chicken shits are already back pedaling on stopping this war.We need to keep our feet on there necks on this war and not let them letup

Why don't you keep your feet to yourself. And for fuck's sake clip your toenails once in a while. That green gunk ain't healthy.

there are alot of dino's (democrats in name onlee) and we do gotta keep our feets on them bastards, to keepem honest. don't you agree?

...aside from posting on an internet discussion forum? Perhaps if you try typing with your toes...

I mean, in a very masculine, internet sort of way.

But it sure seems like some factions of the far left wish the Dems were, lest the far left have nothing to build an agenda on.

Moderates were not sitting in trees in the 70's or 80's. Moderates were not flinging paint on people for wearing fur. Moderates were not screaming 'stay out of my bush' or anything like it.

There has always been a radical far left, always will be, and they'll never have much influence over the political process because the only thing they know how to do is draw attention to problems, not solve any of them.

Which is quite a different thing than backpedaling on the war.

Have you actually ever heard any Senate debates? Ever? Do you understand how Senators speak? Do you understand why they speak the way they do?

Senator Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who will lead the Armed Services Committee, said he would not “prejudge” the president’s proposal. While he would oppose an open-ended commitment, Mr. Levin said, he would not rule out supporting a plan to dispatch more troops if the proposal was tied to a broader strategy to begin reducing American involvement and sending troops home.

That, from a Senator, is about as noncommital of a response as you're ever likely to get. It doesn't mean anything. Nothing any Democrat says will mean anything until Bush announces his plan.

I'm sure you'd like him to get up there and set something on fire, scream, possibly shoot some inanimate object, scream a slogan, and then cry, but he's a Senator, and they don't do that. And if this is the strongest voice of support you can find for Bush's pathetic plan in the Senate, then you ought to know that the surge doesn't have a goddamn snowball's chance in hell of getting any support.

But I really do look forward to your attempt to put your foot on his neck.

Next trip the GOP will run in bring them home and they will win. Same old thing. How many years were we in Vietnam and we armed for the cold war for 40 years. Wars make money. No one wants to see that vote for sure.

Where's that code pink email about Wasserman Schultz? I am curious.

LBJ was congenitally unable to withdraw any troops from Vietnam. It will be up to his successor, just as he has said, to withdraw any troops from Iraq. All the Dems can do is keep the pressure on him to get out, and by doing this they will keep the war in the forefront of the public's attention, and will increase the demand in the country to withdraw. Just as there were more troops in Vietnam in November of 1968 than ever, I feel sure that there will be a record number of troops in Iraq come November 2008. W. cannot bring himself to withdraw any troops, it would be a confirmation by him that he was wrong, and was always wrong, concerning this war. If God was whispering in his ear about going to war, Bush misunderstood Him.
