JOSHUA FRANK: Democrat’s Pull Out -- Another Election Year Stunt

[Tace]

By Joshua Frank -- World News Trust

The Democrats are getting ready for the upcoming election season. Having done so poorly for the past, well, decade or so -- they may finally be seeing an opportunity to capitalize on one of the Bush administration’s many misfortunes. Whether it’s Jack Abramoff’s lobbying sleaze, Cheney’s happy trigger finger, or Scooter Libby’s indictment -- they sure have plenty of Republican mishaps to choose from.

They certainly would like us to believe they pulling it all together. The Democrats are trying to latch on to one of the many Bush blunders -- they want us to believe they are finally catching on to the fact that the majority of Americans think this war isn’t going so hot. So the Democrats are putting forward a plan to get the troops out of Iraq. Seems like logical idea. People would go for that, they think. So, reluctantly, the Democrats have drawn up plans to do just such a thing. But, in order not to look soft of terror, the Dems won’t be calling for a “withdrawal” of US troops, rather, they’ll just “redeploy” ‘em.

It’s tricky stuff, really.

On one hand the Democrats want to look tough, but on the other, they want to appease the antiwar crowd. It’s fiddly terrain. If the Democrats don’t toe the line juuuust perfect they may fall off the edge into oblivion (okay, maybe they already are floating around in the great ether) and lose another round of elections. Or so their strategy goes.

Most of the antiwar movement thinks the troops should have been shipped back home yesterday. So we are the ones they are looking to fool first and foremost -- without our support, (which they usually take for granted and, as you will see, are again), they cannot beat a Republican Party even if said party is on the verge of collapse.

1. What an asshole

This fucker is enabling the Republican agenda by repeating RW Rove smears on how no Democrat has a plan. Fuck him.

2. Right.

How many f&$#ing plans do they have to put forth before someone bothers to take note? Sounds a lot like projection to me...

:nuke:

3. Has Frank EVER written an article that attacks Bush policy ONLY?

Why do all of his articles only have minimal references to BushInc while primarily attacking Democrats?

I also assume that Frank never read Kerry's Iraq withdrawal plan or his letter to Gen. Pace to declare to the Iraqi people that US wil have NO PERMANENT BASES in Iraq.

4. More GOP shill. FYI Frank: the anti-war movement has evolved

into the anti-stupid fu*king media/dumb-as-shit administration movement.
