from spineless Democrats who can't stand up and demand that our troops be removed from harm's way in Iraq ASAP.
Reuters is reporting that GOP lawmakers are calling on withdrawal.
Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina conservative, said on ABC's "This Week" that he would offer legislation this week setting a timetable for the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.
"I voted for the resolution to commit the troops, and I feel that we've done about as much as we can do," said Jones, who coined the phrase "freedom fries" to lash out at the French for opposing the Iraq invasion.
and this
Jones, a member of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, said "primarily the neoconservatives" in the administration were to blame for flawed war planning.
"The reason of going in for weapons of mass destruction, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all been proven that it was never there," he said.
The Democratic leadership in the House and Senate (except for a good few) rolled over and helped the GOP vote in the Iraq Resolution and the Patriot Act.
They've stood by while 1,700 soldiers have died and 12,000 more have been injured.
Now, even as a growing number of the electorate begins to say that they don't want this war, a majority of our Democratic representatives continue to keep their mouths shut.
And the GOP is beginning to steal the message that we should withdraw.
Well, I'm glad when any politician can begin to speak out for what is right, but all in all I'd say
That's pathetic.
Will our Democratic representatives be outclassed by the guy who coined the term "freedom fries?"
