MTP Transcript
MR. WEBB:...snip...You could retrograde some of these troops to places like Kuwait and Qatar until we’re sure that the region is stabilized, and then bring them back.

MR. WEBB: There is no—as long as the United States forces...
SEN. ALLEN: ...options, whether it’s ground forces or air forces.
MR. WEBB: ...conventional forces are in Iraq there will not be peace in the Middle East.
SEN. ALLEN: No, that’s not the...
MR. WEBB: That is the point. That is different from Kuwait, that is different from Qatar.

If I remember correctly the fatwas say that all foreign troops need to be thrown out of Arab lands.
Saudi Arabia Text of Fatwa Urging Jihad Against Americans
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim.
IMHO that includes both Kuwait and Qatar.

Pure Democrat Surrender Monkey BS. 1st off retroigrade is a clever way to say retreat.

None of the Democrat Surrender Monkeys have asked Kuwait or Qatar if they would take the troops. There is reason to believe they would NOT since the terrorists would simply follow them there.

Once they moved the troops out of Iraq is would be poltically difficult to send them back into Iraq.

More Democrat lies. Just another gutless attempt by a Democrat Politican to be on both sides of the Iraq War.

This is Webb's quote that got me.
" You should—we should remember that when we got Zarqawi, we did not get Zarqawi by—from troops based inside Iraq. This was a unit that was based outside of Iraq. And you could do that. "
If you didn't see it in person- he was very dismissive . Almost like the troops on the ground were incapable of getting it done. So why bother keeping them there.
