Now, George Bush talks about a wave of democracy in the Middle East. What you don’t hear about is the wave of democracy happening around the world, wherein wherein country after country people are forcing their governments to leave the quote “coalition of the willing” and bring their troops home.(crowd cheers)
It happened in Honduras. It happened in Nicaragua. It happened in the Dominican Republic. It happened in the Philipines. In Thailand. In the Netherlands. And most recently, the Italian people are forcing Berlusconi to bring the troops home. (crowd cheers)
She really doesn't know; or care to say that these troops she refers to were on a specific time-frame. The withdrawal of troops had NOTHING to do with politics, nor of Socialist wishes -- but the troops were scheduled to be out, and returned to their countries, as scheduled. One of the countries was underfire themselves, shortstaffed on military and needed their troops home to deal with problems in their own country. I suspect the same =might= be holding in same for Italy, most recently.
Thank you tgslTakoma for posting Medea's very-uncivilized and untrue - rally boosting isms. Those who are military and hear or read this will be even more galvanized to win this mission, to clarify matters in Iraq, to help rebuild Iraq, and to get on home. When the job is done.
In line of thinking: When you host a party -- are not the hosts the last to clean-up and turn out the lights? YES. And that is the job of American Patriots in the mid-east. And the military I've spoken with will never, ever forget the wonderful military of the Coalition of the Willing, with whom they worked, and with whom they've built some life-long friendships.
The adnauseum whine from the left of "when are our troops coming home? Give us a date" is so much huckey, -- when does the party end? When the last person is driven home, or leaves walking ably. Iraq is yet needing some assistance. When Iraq is fully capacitated and able, our troops will come home. But not before. To do so before, would be akin to sending an incapacitated guest into their car to drive home.
The Iraqi people are working hard to be independent, and able to fully run their own country. America and the Coalition of the willing will standby, assist, and defend that pursuit.
Another example in way of explaining "when"? Iraq was ill. America sent help. America will not leave until Iraq is whole and well again.
...good work!
They want the troops home because they believe Americans will keep a war-time party in power rather than change horses mid-stream. It's all about politics. If they could get elected during war time, we'd never know peace.
