Bush has always said, we will win in Iraq and stay there as long as it takes. Evidently the day is coming to where we can come home.

That should be celebrated, not used as some stupid political horsecrap, from Democrats, who have told us time and time again that the war is lost and there was no way to win it.

This is akin to the pessimistic player on the team saying in a nailbiter "we are going to lose", while the rest of the team continues on fighting hard to win, while wanting to slap the pessimist upside the head, for giving up on his team when they are about to win. Point is, after the team has won, the rest of the team celebrates as the pessimistic kid keeps talking about how they still could have lost, never getting that that is not reality and that they actually won. Exact same thing here.

Just using your definition, kid.

This is the same thing Obama wants -- careful withdrawal of American troops from Iraq with the Iraqis taking control of their own security. You cats keep calling it "surrender." Now that Bush is doing the same thing, all of a sudden it's a great idea. Why is that?

LMAO! That is not Obama's plan. Hell it wasnt any Democrats plan. Democrats in 2006 said they would immeditaly withdrawal troops when they took over Congress. Oops! Obama diddo. Now it has been stretched to 2010.

Obama, Jovial, has come around to Bush's plan, yet still hammers McCain for being like Bush....lol. There is nothing in Obama's plan that Bush is not already doing....lol. McBushObama.

Lets face the facts, we are in Iraq no matter who is President.

You've got your facts reversed, kid. Bush has come around to Obama's plan. And McCain still calls it "surrender."

No, Obamas plan was to withdraw the troops and screw Iraq. If he had plans where withdrawal would be halted if a situation arose on the ground he wasn't advertising it. He also wasn't interested in coordinating it with the Iraqi leadership.

No his plan was to GTFO by 2010.

This, however, is the Iraqis saying that they can handle it. So we're working out the details for leaving, which we've always wanted to do.

It's just coincidence that we've won already. The distinction would be clearer if it would take another year or so.

Luckily this means that even if Obama is elected we'll still have a positive outcome in Iraq. The Democrats just took too long to gain enough power to lose the war.

Its funny how Libs cant comprehend anything.

It wasnt THEIR country when we went in, it was SADDAM's. THEY, were being torchered, raped, and murdered as SADDAM saw fit.

Didnt you get that memo? Of I fogot, CNN sat on SADDAM's human rights violations b/c they wanted to stay in Iraq. What a trade off.

Pres. Bush was ALWAYS going to get a plan in place for withdrawal BEFORE he left office. As usual, Obama and the Dems caught wind early on of what would occur from the Bush administration in the next few months, and then started talking "as if" it was their plan.

Bush's plan is NOT surrender---and what's more YOU know it. Saying it over and over again, does NOT make it so. Bush's plan is far more comprehensive and well-thought-out than anything Obama could come up with. But apparently----looking at his lost momentum and the polls, I'd say we may not have to worry about it anyway! <LOL>

So, Iraq was NOT a sovereign nation?

It seems to me that Saddam was their leader and we still had no business being there. If Russia just one day decides they don't like some leader and take over that country we are going to say you can't do that you are bad. Don't do as we do, do as we say. We are just full of (*)(*)(*)(*) with this administration.
