Good morning.
"...he is always calculating something you would never be able to grasp."

This attitude is one of the reasons DemocRATs are an endangered species.

I hate it when they assume they hold the intellectual high ground almost as much as I hate it when they assume they hold the moral high ground.

I believe that what the article means to say, is that this will be their presidential platform for the 2008 election.

How can you believe that it is a '08 platform when the troops, according to their plan, would be withdrawn by '07.

The concept, dubbed ''strategic redeployment," is outlined in a slim, nine-page report ... It sets a goal of a phased troop withdrawal that would take nearly all US troops out of Iraq by the end of 2007

Ha! You call that a platform. I especially liked the part about stationing the troops elsewhere in the region. A pull out without a pull out. This is a party that's struggling to redefine itself and failing miserably. 2006 isn't going to be a good year to be a Democrat.

Democrats desperately want the war ... on its way to being resolved before 2008 because they don't want to have to take responsibility for the war

By Jove I think you nailed it! They KNOW the country thinks they are weak worthless on national security and terrorism in particular.

It could also explain why the last two former occupiers of the WH and a vice, are traveling around the world trashing our country, our military and our President. Some doing it for money.

Makes me wonder if side deals are also being made, ie: we will help get the US military out of "your lands" if you promise to drop the terrorist acts until we regain power. Hmmmmmmm?

You may have a point. My only concern is what it does to the troops and our enemies.

Seems to me that the motto of the Dems should be "Cut and run". What color should the Democratic party fly? YELLOW!
