Haven`t they been telling us that they`ll bring the troops home soon?


BAGHDAD, Iraq---President Jalal Talabni said Thursday that he had been assured by Democrat congressional leaders during a recent visit to Washington that they had no plans for a quick withdrawal of U.S. forces.

"One of them (a Democrat leader) told me that any early withdrawal will be a catastrophe for the United States and the world," Talabani, speaking from his northern hometown of Sulaimaniyah, told the Dubai-based Al-Jazeera satelite broadcaster.

Asked whether the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld meant a collapse of the Bush Administration`s policy in Iraq, Talabani said, "I know George Bush as a clear and strong man who does not bow down to blackmail."

Well I heard this from the republicans but I never heard the dems coming out and saying this. The way I understand it the dems are working together to figure out a solution. We will have to see. They have not taken control yet so we will have to wait until January.

I heard that, and well, it's a step forward, not sideways,lol

You won`t hear the Dems talk about this. Too risky for them.....

lol, yea, talk is scary for the Dems...
