Clinton & Biden stand out in debate!

What the hell is a "phased redeployment"?

You're in the military you know what a phased redeployment is... :)

phase out: to bring or come to an end gradually; ease out of service.

I was trying to make a point. Of course I know the definition, but I was trying to get at what this would accomplish.

In my opinion, this is the worst possible option. Either committ 100% or pull out immediately. Half-assing is the worst possible course of action.

We're in a mess. There is not going to be a 100% commitment. I agree that anytime we go into a "war" we should be prepared to take all combatants out.(Like Korea though that's the problem with going into these police actions and calling it a war) To do that you need major world support and support at home for the plan... we have neither.

I don't think we pull out all at once because we can still be a stabilizing factor and a quick strike force in the region. My plan would have 2 options on the table... the firsts time may have already run out.

Plan A) Divide the country into three separate states and divide the oil revenue. US troops to be used only to patrol buffer zones.

Plan B) Start a phased pull out bringing at least half of our forces home and redeploy the remaining in three fortified locations in the region... Afghanistan, Kuwait, and the Kurdish northern section of Iraq near Turkey, if not in Turkey.


With only 30% of the American people approving the course we are on in Iraq change is inevitable. No one is buying that a surge (an escalation) is a change. There is an outside chance this war could be continued in some semblance of it's current form... but that would require that the Democrats don't win the presidency and/or the Senate doesn't pick up 16 more Democratic Senators to allow for a Senate override of a veto.

If people really believe what they're saying in all the polls they need to walk the walk and not just talk the talk and vote for the Democrats in 08!
 
I think that's true. But the Republicans hold no more moral high ground and have no more values than the Democrats. From Mark Foley to Scooter Libby and on and on the problems are there just as much as anywhere. And the Republican front runner is pro-choice, pro-gay rights and pro-gun control himself.

I'll agree when a Republican like Mark Foley or Ted Haggart comes out of the closet it gets highlighted. But that's because the bigotry is so intense against any group that does not toe the Christian conservative line they deserve the spotlight when they get caught up in a hypocritical situation.

As far as Iraq goes. There doesn't have to be an immediate pull out. But even if we started today, a phased redeployment would have major American forces in Iraq over 5 probably closer to 6 full years in total. That's a long time.

Even the longest journey begins with the first step my friend. We need a Democratic President that will allow us to take that first step.:)

Let me clarify my previous post. Hillary is a socialist! I refuse to vote for a know socialist.
I like Fred Thompson, can't wait for him to jump in and would be surprised if any of the Dems would dare debate with him.

Well of course I don't agree that Mrs. Clinton is a socialist anymore than you'll agree the other side is fascist based so we'll just have to live with that.

On the Thompson thing. All he has to do is show up.
:D
