| 67. Well, they are my personal opinions, all right. What is wrong with that? |
|
I have proposed some very concrete steps, have I not?
1. Make the first vote in Iraq a referendum on whether or not the Iraqi people want us there.
2. Change the rules of engagement under which our soldiers fight. This will cut our casualty rate.
3. Withdraw our troops to forward bases. Stop the carnage without purpose.
4. Have a meeting under a flag of truce with leaders of the Iraqi insurgency. More talk, less shooting.
Now you may disagee with any of these ideas, but they form the basis of a plan that is different than Shrub's plan.
