I really like this proposal. It's too bad it probably won't get enough support to pass because both sides are too busy sticking to their own ideologies to let it pass. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

"meaningful and substantial progress"... yeah, they're going to need to define that before I agree that this is a good idea.
It could mean that they want to see no car bombings for 3 weeks straight or they pull out. Or that no American troop dies after June. Or some impossible to predict and prevent occurrence. The Democrats are conflicted. They want out of Iraq, but they want to win the Presidency. If they vote to pull out of Iraq and all of the sudden things get better, then they will be seen as the wrong people for the job. However, if they do not do anything about the war then they are seen as useless (hence the nonbinding resolutions, great ways to look busy). -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
