WTF Is It Now?!?

Cutting and running, Karl?
"Our soldiers deserve to be honored and respected, not to be used as pawns in a White House effort to maintain one-party control of the United States." - BuzzFlash.

Huh - turns out that while Dick 'dick' Cheney, congressional rethugs and their parroting media whores were attacking Dems for calling for some kind of troop redeployment in Iraq, the Pentagon was already working on that very thing.

Senate Democrats reacted angrily yesterday to a report that the US commander in Iraq had privately presented a plan for significant troop reductions in the same week they came under attack by Republicans for trying to set a timetable for withdrawal.

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass), who co-sponsored an unsuccessful resolution setting a deadline for the removal of US combat troops from Iraq, issued a statement saying the Casey plan looks "an awful lot like what the Republicans spent the last week attacking. Will the partisan attack dogs now turn their venom and disinformation campaign on General Casey?"

"Before this election, this November, there's going to be troop reductions in Iraq, and that little pissant the president will then claim some kind of progress or victory," Democratic Sen. Carl Levin said.

Russ Feingold told reporters that Casey's reported proposal "makes me wonder what all this talk was this week in Washington."

Yeah.
