House Minority Leader John Boehner's words per cnn:
"This nonbinding resolution is the first step toward abandoning Iraq by cutting off funding for our troops that are in harm's way," said the Ohio Republican. "And we know what al Qaeda thinks when America retreats from the battlefield. They think that we can't stomach a fight." http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/02/13/us.iraq/index.htmlHow dare John Boehner refer to
not escalating as either a "retreat from the battlefield" or that anyone would think American soldiers "can't stomach a fight." There is no singular line in the battlefield sand to retreat from Mr. Boehner! What we have is a quagmire of Shrub's own arrogant making which has no end, no plan, no history of success, and no one in the White House listening to the will of We The People to end this damn war.
His language reminds me of a schoolyard bully afraid to ever back down, even if he knows he is wrong.
The majority of America is not going to buy this empty false bravado rhetoric anymore. It is you Mr. Boehner, who along with Shrub's minions aim to send more soldiers into a civil war, a civil war which has descended into chaos...it is you who will be abandoning those troops! How dare you send these brave men and women into a cause neither just or winnable?
There is NO military solution in Iraq!
