If he did, conservative voters who support the troops and the liberation of Iraq will not vote for a Republican candidate who is repeating DemocRats talking points! Like I said, just because it is in print, doesn't mean he actually said it!
I for one am fed up with all the armchair critics undermining the war effort and suppressing ALL the great things that have and are continuing to happen in Iraq. War is tough, especially when you have to fight a politically correct war, and the ENEMEDIA and the left are undermining the war EVERY step of the way.
Has the paper printed a retraction? If O'Donnell didn't say this, and the paper made it up - or misquoted him horribly - then he surely has demanded a retraction by now. Has he? I don't see any retraction or correction by the paper. If you can find one, please post it.
By the way, I admire your passionate support of our troops. However, I think someone can criticize the strategies of the generals or civilian authorities without being opposed to the troops. It's not the troops who set strategy. They just follow orders. When the orders don't reflect sound strategy, civilians can criticize the order-givers without being "opposed" to the troops.
