For those like Schmidt who say the troops WANT TO STAY in Iraq,
I offer a simple solution: Give every enlisted man and woman the option to stay in Iraq or go home, without reprisal.

If, as Schmidt and others suggest, the troops are so horrified at the prospect of leaving Iraq, this will once and for all prove the dems wrong.

Or not.

1. Duncan Hunter read a letter last night, from a
General, supposedly wondering why Murtha would risk troops' lives by wanting to pull out early.
Did I mention he was a General who, I'm sure, has never been in the line of fire in Iraq?
He spoke for himself, NOT the troops.

2. But, to protect the flank while people leave Iraq
ALL chicken hawks get rounded up and sent over there. Remind them it is B.Y.O.B.A. and wish them luck with all those flower throwing Iraqia celebrating our 'liberating' them.

3. My suggestion
Line em up and tell those that want to "fight them over there", "Right shoulder arms and step forward. "Those that want to go home line up for transport to the Freedom Bird".
