The democrats are hoping that America is so anti-war that they can slide the rest of their liberal agenda in while no one's paying any attention...
Their agenda is still the same as it was, but since it lost them the last several elections, they are now just running on anti-Bush sentiment...

There is no good plan for getting out of Iraq, that was the reason we never should have gone. Why did we go? To get Saddam out? Now what? We lose men over there everyday and are no closer to winning the war than we were before we decided to go over. The only "good" way for us to pull out is for us to do so when we win the war and can hand over to the Iraqi officers. I doubt this will ever happen, we went into Iraq with a horrible game plan, throw as much money as Congress will approve and as much fire power as we have at them, then hand over to the Iraqi police. Well, that only works if it is a war between the US and Iraq. This was a war between the US and Muslims which is only winnable when either the US no longer exists or Muslims don't exist. Yay Bush. I don't sleep better with Bush in office, we are losing our position as a World Power, the military is so thin now with all the wars we are currently in we couldn't answer back to N. Korea, and no other President in history had an idea of Homeland security. That idea would only come from a President that thinks military control is the best thing that a President can offer his country. Yeah, it was great it was created, but now we have to ask what resources did he take away to form the organization? Katrina victims suffered from there not being enough resources, we still haven't secured the border with Mexico nor does Bush even know how to respond to the aliens, and his approval ratings should tell you something about how the majority of the country sees him.

The Republicans don’t have a plan for Iraq either, and they never have. Well, they did have a plan, but it was a stupid one doomed to failure, which is how we got stuck in this mess. You can thank the little gang of neocons for that. They dismiss all the social sciences out of hand yet consider themselves qualified to manipulate one of the most volatile and unstable regions on earth.
I am unaware of any Middle East expert who gave the plan better than a 50 percent chance of realizing success on any level (and there were very few who were that optimistic). Implementing the neocons’ plan with no more certainty than a coin-toss seems at best a little irresponsible. Colin Powell knew it. That was the point of his pottery barn analogy. And, it’s not just the geography we are now responsible for, it is also all the consequences that follow. Bush senior also knew and states so in his book A World Transformed :
•"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a broken tyrant a latter-day Arab hero. It would have taken us way beyond the imprimatur of international law bestowed by the resolutions of the Security Council, assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerilla war. It would only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability and destroy the credibility we were working so hard to reestablish."
Removing Saddam was not the end of the war, but the beginning. How do you stop 25 million people who are determined to have a civil war? In the long run you cannot. In the short run you do what Hussein did, hold them down with brutal force. You will know that the civil war is really going when the Kurds start to be annialated. The only thing that will unite the Shi’a and Sunni will be a temporary alliance to kill the Kurds and reclaim the northern oil fields. And, any kind of real or semi-Kurdish state is out of the question because Turkey will never allow in on their border. Syria would like to see the Kurds all dead also. And then there is the Iranian presence.
Leaving Iraq will not be the factor that brings terrorist here. They will do that in their own time anyway. What being there has and is costing us is the intelligence information necessary to intercept those future attempts. If we have no friends, do you really think we will get all the information we really need? Immediately after 9/11, Syria and Iran both provided valuable information pinning the attack on OBL and tracking him to Afghanistan. I seriously doubt we can expect that kind of cooperation again any time soon.
We are going to leave at some point and it does not make any difference whether it is this year, last year, next year, or 10 years from know because the result will be the same. Bush is staying because he won’t admit to failure and the Democrats will not commit to bringing the troops home because they are weenies and insecure. In the meantime, innocent Americans and Iraqis will continue to die. In the long run, because of his stupidity, arrogance, and incompetence, Bush may ultimately be responsible for the deaths of 10s of millions of Americans. That is the legacy his tenure in office will leave to America.

Hey, Bud, who got us into Iraq with his lies, schemes and fear-mongering embellishments? And as for Homeland Security: 1/ How safe did the people of New Orleans feel for almost 2 weeks after the levees breeched? and 2/The last terrorist attack prior to 9/11 was in 1993. That's 8 years. All you Bushwhacks want to say we're safer because we haven't had an attack for 5 years and because we have an incompetent, cheerleading frat rat in the White House who shoots his mouth off like a street punk while the hatred of his policies and Americans grows world-wide and its anger and hatred that fuel violence. Basic Common Sense 101.

Disagree. i'm curious with connection with the outcomes, yet of direction none of them will impact me in any way. Who cares what a teeny-tiny fraction of randomly chosen people pronounced? additionally, the census and diverse surveys are sent to the valuables proprietor (generally a male, even nonetheless greater effective women folk are paying for those days). So, even concept each and each individual of those questionairres are sent to a random selection, the surveys keeps to be incorrect via fact of certainty men have been those answering the questions. jointly as you evaluate it extremely is a gender based question, of direction the recommendations could be biased.

Do you really think that the Dem,s will tell the Rep,s what their plans are to get us out of Iraq? Bushiters are already mired in "stay the course" no matter how many American military lives are snuff out or American military missing arms, legs and what nots. Face it Bush just isn't the presedential stuff. He has made the once labeled "ugly Americans" into hated Americans.

We don't need originality. That's what preemptive war was. We need the old tried and true methods. Overwhelm the enemy with superior weapons and manpower, aid the civilian population to regain a normal life (something to lose), rebuild the infrastructure, rebuild the economy, etc.
When you consider the civilians your enemy, they will be.
