    If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't've checked. In fact, I'd write a diary on this stuff, as it seems quite noteworthy, but I have a sort of evil genius for sucking all the fascination out of any topic. I'm considering writing a 'Lincoln Shmincoln' diary, just to get a single comment from Armando.

  Today Bush says "We need to understand the enemy" and "We expect, but cannot guarantee that our force posture will change over the next year, as the political process advances and Iraqi security forces grow and gain experience," the report said. "While our military presence may become less visible, it will remain lethal and decisive, able to confront the enemy wherever it may organize."
  In other words, just in time for the 2006 elections, Karl Rove and The Bush administration are going to introduce their own strategic redeployment plan, which looks very much like the democrats plan.
  At that point, what will Democrats say?

    in the military were slaughtered in Iraq in between the introduction of the Democratic redeployment plan in 2005 and the opportunistic, election year, copycat Republican plan put forth at this late date?

    - good comment (none / 1)
      
      I think my question too was rhetoric though...
      If the choice is between red redeployment and blue redeployment, there's no important difference. It's important to come up with CLEAR policy differences--differences that every American will basically understand.
      My personal preference: international cooperation. It's actually what we want. Why not say so?

      RoveCO will modify the plan slightly AND take credit for it.
      Put it another way: how many swing voter will pick strategic-redeployment blue plan over strategic redeploment red plan? If there's no CLEAR policy difference moving forward that won't leave most Americans scratching their heads, the answer is pretty clear: most won't.
