Note To The President

A group of Democrats, and a few "Republicans", have decided that what the world needs is to put a special, red-letter day on the "to do" lists of all the world's terrists:

President Bush would have to start bringing home U.S. troops from Iraq by Oct. 1, 2006, under a measure a small bipartisan group of House lawmakers — including a Republican who voted for war — proposed Thursday.

Two Republicans and two Democrats introduced a resolution that would require the president to announce by the end of this year a plan for withdrawing troops and steps for following through on that plan.

It is the first such resolution put forth by lawmakers from both parties, although an overwhelming number of Democrats and six House Republicans voted in 2002 against sending troops to Iraq

The proper answer, Mr. President, is "they'll come home when Iraq is able to keep itself safe and stable". I think you know that, but just in case you think the base isn't paying attention, think again.

By the way, Walter Jones and Ron Paul - this travesty's two "GOP" sponsors - need to get spanked hard. As to the Dem sponsors - well, one of them is Dennis Kucinich. That should end all conversation right there.

(Although with my "representative", Betty "Foreign Policy Is Hard" McCollum, no conversation is too dumb).

UPDATE: As is frequently the case, nobody says it better than Scott Johnson:

Here is one metaphor by which I am willing to stand. Senators Leahy and Durbin are more fit to reconstitute the Democratic Party as a branch of the Peoples Temple than to hold high office. They are more fit to lead a doomsday cult devoted to drinking poison Kool-Aid than they are to serve as United States Senators.
