Democratic Push for [SOME] Troop Withdrawal

The Dems are trying to dazzle us with their BS AGAIN! While ABC News would have you believe that the Dems are daringly calling for a pull-out from Iraq, the bottom line of the Levin-Reid bill being pushed by the Dems would leave "anywhere from 20,000... to 70,000" troops in Iraq after the "pull-out." Portion of article below--whole thing here: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=3371044&page=2

NO! ALL US PERSONNEL (including mercenaries) OUT OF IRAQ NOW!


GO CINDY!!

"When asked about the details of the Reed-Levin amendment, Reid said he did not know how many troops would be left in Iraq after combat troops would be pulled by April 30, 2008.

"'I don't know how many troops will be there," Reid said. "I've heard anywhere from 20,000 -- and now I've got, this is the highest number I've heard -- to 70,000." Whatever troops remain in Iraq, he said, can "only be involved in special operations, counterterrorism activities, training the Iraqis and protecting our assets that we have in Iraq."

"Reid said he would vote against the amendment offered by Sens. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., to express the sense of the Senate that the president should implement the Iraq Study Group recommendations.

"'They started doing the study well more than a year ago," he said. "It's been seven months since the report was given to us. And it calls for a lot of diplomatic measures. There's not a single tooth in that proposal. No, I can't vote for it."
