Pardon this short diary, but I'm time-constrained. Nevertheless, this has GOT to be said and put squarely into the "D Kos Record".
Here's the LINK to the not-long-ago-posted comment that's the foundation for this, and "dannyinla"'s responsive comment (in the thread) that's just sent me over the edge with this whole stupid and tragic thing.
The bottom line: Hannity, Bush, Limbaugh, Cheney, Beck, and Capitol Hill Republicans are screeching that Dems want "Immediate Withdraw" in Iraq. Well, while it might be nice to have no more Americans getting killed in this war starting today, even were a withdraw to start today, it would still take 12-18 months to complete, at best. Period. We need to BEGIN redeploying in order to NOT be there by January 2009.
What keeps Capital Hill Dems from stating this simple fact, and calling the GOP on yet another in a series of lies?! Well?
