Oh, so THAT's why the date change on Kerry's proposal
From Raw Story
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/NY_Times_Democrats_complaining_about_Senator_0620.html

"The Democrats' exasperation has increased in the last week, as they postponed a vote on Mr. Kerry's amendment to try to fashion a broader consensus among themselves. Democrats up for re-election asked him not to propose a fixed date. But Mr. Kerry, several Democrats said, was unwilling to budge from that idea, even though his co-sponsor, Senator Russell D. Feingold of Wisconsin, seemed willing to compromise for the sake of consensus. In the end, Mr. Kerry agreed only to extend his deadline, from Dec. 31 of this year to July 2007."

Thanks for getting him skewered by the Right Wingers for the change in the plan YOU made him take. Wimps.

1. I no longer have any patience or any respect...
...for waffling proposals about when if maybe we ought to evacuate from Iraq.

The war against Iraq is a crime against humanity.



How long do we justify continuing a criminal war in the name of political expediency? How long do we pound our chests and congratulate ourselves for overthrowing the government of a half starved nation that was not a threat to anyone? How long do we grind them under a brutal occupation in support of a puppet regime?

We have become the Soviets that Reagan struggled with so bitterly in Afghanistan, ultimately raising Osama bin Laden to prominence.

No more "withdrawal dates." No more cowardly equivocation. U.S. out of Iraq now.
