GOP Knew Of Casey's Briefing, But Labeled Dems Plan "Cut and Run" Anyway

[JABBS]

Why label one plan as "cut and run" but not the other?

The simple answer is that conservatives are employing a double standard. ... Read the quotes from most conservative Republicans, and you won't find much information on substantive differences between the plans. Instead, you'll hear partisan politics.

Furthermore, McConnell said that Republican lawmakers were aware of Casey's plan before voting against the Levin-Reed proposal. In other words, even though Republicans knew a similar plan was being hatched by Gen. Casey, they nonetheless took the partisan and immature route -- substituting name-calling for reasonable debate.

This also apparently confirms speculation from a few days ago as correct -- that Vice President Cheney also knew about Casey's gameplan when he told CNN's John King that the Democrats' plans for troop redeployment were "the worst possible thing we could do."

7. Only a moral person would relinguish authority after ethical failure.

Asking a Republican or a Democratic politician to give up their position of control is like asking a hungry wolf to leave a crippled rabbit alone. It's not in their nature.
