I believe that the Democrats most certainly do have a plan for Iraq. There is an excellent summary of it here in this op/ed piece by Thomas Sowell...

Excerpt...
Quote:
If the war in Iraq is such an unnecessary and futile expenditure of blood and treasure as Ms. Pelosi et al. have been saying, why not put an end to it?

But to do that would mean taking responsibility for the consequences - and those consequences would be disastrous and lasting. They would probably still be lasting when the 2008 elections come around.

The Democrats cannot risk that. They have taken over Congress by a very clever and very disciplined strategy of constantly criticizing the Republicans, without taking the risk of presenting an alternative for whose results they can be held responsible.

There is no sign that they want to change that politically winning strategy now.

Their nonbinding resolutions against the war are a perfect expression of that strategy. These resolutions put them on record as being against the war without their taking the responsibility for ending it. Unfortunately for the congressional Democrats, their left-wing supporters have taken the anti-war rhetoric of Ms. Pelosi, Rep. John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania and others at face value and consider it a betrayal that they talk the talk but will not walk the walk.

Gee Ted, spending all night replying too four different liberals?. Keep up the good work friend, I hear what your saying, these people are'nt living in the same realm as us. We choose bush because we have to, these people don't see that, they never got bullied at school, they don't know the meaning of "ultamatum". They think that because this is an internet forum they can give the president of america all the stick they want, thats spineless, that cowardice, imagine you we're in charge of the red button, imagine you was in his situation.

True, the 'Decider' doesn't need any help looking stupid.

But folks - he's the Commander-In Chief of the United States Military.
Like it or not- he call the shots- not congress. Not you armchair generals.
If you don't like him - vote in your person next time.

See, the only real problem I have with libs is the way their politics wrap up the troops into it. Anti-war? OK. Anti-Bush? OK.

Anti-troop support?- inexcusable.

Well I don't see the revelance to reality, conservatives don't care if you join them or not, I personally could care less whether you support my beliefs or not. The republicans don't hold a gun to Hillary Clinton's head and tell her to join their party.

My signature on the other hand, makes sense, because most liberals in congress and outside of congress want to essentially run away from terrorists.

It is "stay the course" not "stayduhcourse" but after we pull out, which I am sure we will do
the problems will start to begin, and it will be so bad, that "stayduhcourse" will be crammed
down your throat.

"stayduhcourse" or suffer the cost.

As I see things now, you can visit this forum, find this post again, and see what you think
of my prediction. "who's sorry now?"

I'm embarassed with the Left in Congress - the whole world knows them as anti-war, cut and run spineless blue-bloods with a condescending attitude towards anyone who favors freedom.

I fear the day if the Left actually gets some power in our government as it will surely mark the beginning of the end of safety for all Americans.

Just read the above remarks: Condescending. No respect for the elected leader of our country. No respect for our fighting men and women. Mad at the world. Irritated with this whole war thing.
These are the people who refuse to fund the troops unless their agenda is included too. If not included, well, screw the whole thing then. They aint gettin nothin. (crosses arms and sticks out chin)

We've been over this many times. There are many liberal plans but I guess you were asleep. Stay the course was when the Republicans owned Congress and the White House. And nothing was accomplished in Iraq except chaos. Well, the majority of Americans are fed up with Bush's War
and now it is time to get out of Iraq and get back to fighting al Qaida.

IN fact, that seems to be the rightwings problem...well that and the fact that they spend more money then democrats ever have!
The spin is saying "the dems are funding more than Bush asked for." Bush didn't ask for money for spinach growers, livestock assistance or any of the other crapola the dems put in their plan.

what part of spending tax dollars on Americans for a change don't you like Reb?

Iraq was a can of worms Bushco was either to stupid, or too focused on
getting close to the oil, to contemplate.

Well, now we are there, and its a bloody mess.
Do we just pick up and leave- allowing the inefectual government, and
fractured communities, to be herded into becoming a fundamentalist
Islamic nation by the violent forces already at work? Or do we continue
fumbling about on street corners trying to act like police in the middle of
civil, and gorilla, wars?

Logical answer... neither.
We should consolidate our troops into fewer, but better defended, bases.
Tell the Iraqi government to begin figuring out how it will function
on its own- by doing it. If Iran invades we will be there to stop it, if al-
Qaeda blows up a school we can look for them. Other than responding
to significant acts of known outside, or non-domestic, terror you can
find us locked up in the bases if you need training or a pep talk.

Will our government ever give us any common sense, or creative thinking,
NEVER.

We dont have a government comprised of effective problem solvers,
or creative leaders-- we have career ass kissers whos major talents are
talking trash, and re-wording the most popular poll results into a
'personal position'.

Frankly I know (*)(*)(*)(*) well that if we did have an attack, you would not be blaming that on "stay the course".
why dont you do some analysis. see if terrorist attacks world-wide have decreased overall since we went into Iraq. i dare you
