But there was never a significant number of Dems calling for immediate
withdrawal. He specifically claimed they "promised to get us out" but
in fact that promise was never made. With a few exceptions, the Dems
all said that leaving immediately would be a mistake.

It seems your ideology is blinding, not mine.

Your ideology is blinding you, Jeff. He was criticizing the Dems for failing
to pass a bill requiring immediate withdrawal.

This is a total crook of ****. Are you actually claiming that a
majority of Democrats called for immediate withdrawal? No such claim
was made and you dishonor yourself by lying like this.

General Pace of the United States Marine Corps is right for not
apologizing for giving his personal opinion. If anyone should be
apologizing it should be the Democrats. They promised to get us out of
Iraq. They control both Houses and all they have to do is pass a bill
requiring immediate withdrawal. It seems they are more interested in
getting re-elected than in the interests of the majority of Americans.
The Democrats lack the spine to take a real stand and one can plainly
see they will makes things much worse by half heartedly dragging their
feet. Note that the former Marine, Murtha, offers total commitment to
an action. He is not a wuss. Marines may differ in opinion, but they
will die for what they believe in.
