An Amazing Dose of Liberal Chutzpa on Iraq
Some people really have nerve. Bush and other coalition countries throw out a brutal dictator, liberates millions of people, fight off insurgents from neighboring countries that are hell bent on stopping elections and freedom and the election and freedom are realized on time. This while contending with nay Sayers, protestors and liberal congressman all doing their best to undermine the effort.
And now, in apparent oblivion that the plan has not only worked but worked incredibly well and to the visible satisfaction of overjoyed Iraqis, Bush now must contend with the likes of the writer below all demanding that Bush demonstrate a workable plan. Who the heck are they to demand anything? They were wrong. Bush was correct. Bush no longer needs to demonstrate he has a plan. He has done that and then some. Forgive us if this is too blunt, but before any calls that Bush demonstrate he has a plan, the liberal left needs to demonstrate they are capable of perceiving a very well executed one staring them right in the face.
Analysis: Bush must demonstrate he as workable plan for Iraq
By John Yaukey, Gannet News Service
Washington - Voting down, security to go. Iraq's first free election in 50 years now set the stage for President Bush to ratchet up the training of Iraqi security forces and convince Americans he has a viable plan for Iraq, which his is likely to try to do in his State of the Union speech Wednesday
Without security in Iraq, the exuberance for democracy that Iraqis displayed Sunday while voting will not last. And until Iraqis can fight the insurgency that has plagued their country for more than a year, U.S. troops will have to.
Without tangible signs that the U.S. campaign in Iraq is advancing toward an exit for the 150,000 American troops now there, Americans are likely to grow increasingly discouraged about the war, as polls indicate they had in the run-up to the election.
"The most important thing we can do right now is to get the Iraqi security forces up to speed," said Marine Col. Thomas X. Hammes, an expert on insurgency warfare and author of the acclaimed book on the subject, "The Sling and the Stone." "The Pentagon has said repeatedly they are our ticket out of there."
Bush has said as much as well, but with little detail about how he plans to get it done.
Gloom and doom.."It's not perfect so quit trying"..WAaaaaaaaa
yeah. like nothing he's done has worked so far, eh? these guys are a real hoot aren't they?
He seems to be doing that already.
If john kerry had articulated the kind of plan they're asking of President Bush, the poodle might have had a chance of being elected.
I get your point but I venture to say that if Kerry had articulated a plan - his plan - he would have lost in the biggest election landslide in our nation's history.
These very same morons were fully supportive of kerry's *secret* plan, developed with unnamed heads of state.
Obviously, any DUmmie can see, BUSH has a plan otherwise we would not be where we are now...Taliban toppled, Afghanis liberated, Afghanis have free election, Saddam toppled, Iraqis liberated, Fallujha decimated, Iraqis have free election. If there was no planning involved in these recent events, it is the most amazing series of lucky breaks the world has ever seen.
What the DIMs really want is to see the plan before it is put into action so that they can complain about it and thwart it before it is put into action therefore spoiling BUSH's agenda. I don't think this will happen because they have misunderestimated BUSH for the last 5 years and they still don't get it.
Here's the Bush plan:
Kill all the bad guys and go home........
Bingo. That's it exactly.
Kerry did have a "plan"...

The french plan: Every one raise the white flags.
The german plan: Shove all iraqi's in the oven.
The spanish plan: Every body on the train.
The demonRAT plan: critize every bodys plan, then form a circular firing squad.
The President's plan: kill the bad guys, let the Iraqi's vote, when they are ready they will tells us and we will leave. {and go to [syria,north korea, iran or other place]}
Kerry's plan?

Do we still run the country based on The Articles of Confederation or did we revert back to the Crown?
Oldest political trick in the book.
(regarding training of Iraqi National Guard): "Bush has said as much as well, but with little detail about how he plans to get it done".
Is this not an outright lie? How does the media continuously get away with lying, simply by phrasing the language in official sounding-ish doublespeak?
That wag great! Thank you! I'm going to send that to everyone I know.
