Reply #67: Dems are between Iraq and a hard place.

[Disturbed]

Dems are damned if they do & damned if they don't. That is exactly where Busholini & Cheney want them to be. Rethugs are clever and ruthless. Compromising with them is not possible. It is always their way or no way. Dems are deathly afraid of cutting off funds because they will be blamed for the aftermath of that action. The only thing they can do is voice opposition to the US Occupation of Iraq. They cannot force the end of it. None have actually said that they want "All" the US Troops out of Iraq. A residual force has been the advocated. How many would stay has not been stated. I would be stunned if the US Occupation does not last for another year. In fact, I strongly feel that if a Dem were elected Pres., which is not a forgone conclusion, that the US Occupation would continue, albeit a smaller presence.
