NYT:Awaiting Bush’s Iraq Plan, Democrats Weigh Replies

Some key Senate Democrats say they could consider supporting a short-term increase in American troop levels in Iraq, a stance that reflects division within the party and could provide an opening for President Bush as he prepares to announce his revised plan for Iraq as early as next week.

Mr. Bush is expected to outline a strategy that would include adding to American forces, but would link that increase to a plan for economic development in Iraq. He has vowed to consult Congressional leaders before delivering his speech to the nation, and he began that process on Wednesday night by inviting House and Senate leaders to a White House reception, though officials said Iraq was not discussed.

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.

“The American people are skeptical about getting in deeper,” he said in an interview. “But if it’s truly conditional upon the Iraqis’ actually meeting milestones and if it’s part of an overall program of troop reduction that would begin in the next four to six months, it’s something that would be worth considering.”

bush unveils his plan. They don't know what to be outraged about until then or what action to take if needed

Everything they do is designed to keep the war going longer.
Every day the profiteers keep the war going is more cash in their pockets.
(How did that go in New Jack City? "Every dollar I make another brother drops!")
Remember Fuhrer Nixon's Secret Plans?
He had one in '68. Apparently it was such a big secret that the enemy was unaware of it and another secret plan came out in '72.
Two years later the enemy still hadn't heard about it and the war had to be shut off by eliminating its budget.

Hello U.N.?

Yes.

This is the U.S.

Yes.

Here's a check for the damage and the keys to Iraq.

Why?

Because we fucked it up beyond repair and if you don't want this war in the middle of your continent I'd send in the peacemakers now. We won't kill any more Iraqis nor will we sacrifice our people. Bye.
