The State of the Union was, in my opinion, a wakeup call for the democrats. Either support the troop movement or get the troops out of there, the middle ground is not an option. Also, I thought the President's point about a civilian force of workers was interesting. I do not know if I support it or not, but it's a novel idea...
Jim Webb's "official" Democratic response was even more intriguing, especially this paragraph: QUOTE The majority of the nation no longer supports the way this war is being fought; nor does the majority of our military. We need a new direction. Not one step back from the war against international terrorism. Not a precipitous withdrawal that ignores the possibility of further chaos. But an immediate shift toward strong regionally-based diplomacy, a policy that takes our soldiers off the streets of Iraq's cities, and a formula that will in short order allow our combat forces to leave Iraq. In the same paragraph he contradicts himself... QUOTE Not a precipitous withdrawal that ignores the possibility of further chaos. QUOTE ...a policy that takes our soldiers off the streets of Iraq's cities, and a formula that will in short order allow our combat forces to leave Iraq.   Then there is this sentence (from the same paragraph), important part emphasized: QUOTE The majority of the nation no longer supports the way this war is being fought; nor does the majority of our military. I'd like to know where he gets his statistics... -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
