Former vice presidential candidate John Edwards, who is considering another run for the Democratic presidential nomination, said Saturday the United States should start pulling troops out of Iraq immediately.
The former senator from North Carolina told reporters America should "make it clear (to Iraqis) we are leaving, and the best way is to start leaving. We should take 40,000 combat troops out now."
Edwards, who has said he regretted his vote as a U.S. senator authorizing President Bush to invade Iraq, said he would ask the country's military leaders for a strategy "to have the (rest of the) troops out in roughly 12 to 18 months."
"There is no chance other countries in the world will help Iraq as long as we are an occupying force," he said.

Edwards is a shallow, opportunistic jerk.
Another idiot blowing his wad of b.s..
Edwards, Democrat traitor to the hilt. What a butt head!!!
Was he on The Waltons?
Oh, well.
This guy was a real cute space-filler with Kerry. Two major schiesters and losers. The Breck Girl did not do much for the campaign except the normal spreading of liberal lies and BS. If he were smart, as most libs are not, he would keep his mouth shut and continue to make his whip-lash Harry money.
Failed VICE presidential candidate. Someone who "served" ONE term in the Senate where he accomplished nothing.
I am so sure America cares what he says.
It's as if these dems are living on another planet. Don't they see what's happening in the Mideast? Aren't they the least bit curious as to why Iraq isn't joining with Iran and Syria in trying to destroy civilization? Could it be because Iraq now knows there's a better way to live than to try to blow itself back to the seventh century? I heard on Fox this morning some dem whining about how 60% of the American people think we're going about Iraq in the wrong way. I figure 50% of those are stupid idiotic dems who are anti-Bush losers and quitters no matter what the issue is, and 10% of that 60% are Republicans who are mad because we didn't turn Iraq into an Iraq-shaped glass parking lot in the first place. This cut-and-run cr*p just makes me so mad!!
Yes, I think you may be right!! I believe he played the part of "Elizabeth"!
{frantically searching for photo evidence}
But to the Liberals, losers advance, winners must apologize for winning.
...and the rest should read "to the mercy of those who would butcher them."
Yes, but his hair looks good!
The figure primping in the background is the Breck Girl, no?
America should "make it clear (to Democrats) we are not leaving, and the best way is to start ignoring democrats.
So sorry, I know it's the dinner hour, but this is a lovely shot.
