1. Uh, Senator Reid, you may wish to reconsider
backing the chimp's call for more troops in Iraq.

2. He did/has!
:hi:

The Clock is Ticking, Mr. President (Sen Harry Reid)

Frankly, I don't believe that more troops is the answer for Iraq. It's a civil war and America should not be policing a Sunni-Shia conflict. In addition, we don't have the additional forces to put in there. We obviously want to support what commanders in the field say they need, but apparently even the Joint Chiefs do not support increased combat forces for Baghdad. My position on Iraq is simple:

1. I believe we should start redeploying troops in 4 to 6 months (The Levin-Reed Plan) and complete the withdrawal of combat forces by the first quarter of 2008. (As laid out by the Iraq Study Group)

2. The President must understand that there can only be a political solution in Iraq, and he must end our nation's open-ended military commitment to that country.

3. These priorities need to be coupled with a renewed diplomatic effort and regional strategy.

5. I hope the newly Democratic house and Senate
see that the tide has turned.

If people who vote on a TV website's poll are against additional funding for the war (and I admit it's not "scientific") I think that indicates a change in opinion.

On most of channel 5's polls my choice comes out on the losing end. It's rare that the position I support has the most votes.
