Feingold pushes Bush for withdrawal timetable

Wisconsin senator says Americans are getting frustrated

By Patty Brandl

U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold has introduced a resolution in the U.S. Senate calling on President Bush to create a timetable for achieving goals and withdrawing American troops from Iraq.

“Disappointment about Iraq is deepening. The majority of Wisconsinites are very skeptical of the way the war is going,” Feingold, D-Wis., said in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C., on Thursday morning. “We didn’t sign up for an indefinite occupation of Iraq.”

The Wisconsin senator said there are three important questions the administration must answer:

n What is our mission?

n What is our time frame in which our mission can be accomplished?

n And over what period of time can our exit happen?

2. We need answers and plans from Bush and not cheerleading.
I don't have to see an exact date for witdrawal but I at least want to see a coherent realistic plan.

3. there won't be because they have no intention of ever withdrawing
Read the ideology of PNAC, understand why we are building 14 permanent bases there, know that even before the "so-called" election we privitized their oil, and gave sweetheart contracts to our oil companies

Unfortunately for these demigods, they have screwed us for generations to come

Right now we are in the middle of a civil war in Iraq, which cannot be won

In the end, probably 7 to 10 years from now, we will be forced out because the cost will be unsustainable

What we will leave is a Shiite theocracy controlled by Iran

Thanks for disrupting the balance of power, and putting a terrible burden on future generations

Impeach this administration for lying about going to war
