Here is a direct quote from President Knucklehead:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/...
And victory means a free government that is able to sustain itself, defend itself; it's a government that will be an ally in the war on terror. It's a government that will be able to fight off al Qaeda and its desires to have a safe haven.
It is no longer about the high ideals of "bringing democracy to the Middle East". It is no longer about "winning the 'War on Terrorism'". It is no longer about "Operation Iraqi Freedom"
Suddenly and conveniently, it is about a cut and run strategy that doesn't look like a cut and run strategy because that would be, .....ummm.... hypocritical?
Iraq is Shiite dominated, right? The Shiites are backed by Iran, right? The Sunni insurgents (emphasis for SecDef) are losing hope for representation in the New World Order. President Knucklehead and Prime Minister al-Maliki are now working on a timetable for withdrawal but they are most definately not going to "cut and run". They are going to do what Democrats told them to do without making it look like they're doing what Democrats told them to do.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the "leadership" to admit they're going along with a Democratic initiative, we are the opposition without ideas.
