8. 3day old news is far more important than a Dem Iraq withdrawal plan

.

7. The MSM hates it when we get all clear and precise.

Messes up their memes on us. Blitzer is probably trying to find a way to say: The average American doens't know what 'withdrawal' means, why can't he just say 'leaves?' It's so much easier. LOL!

Debate in Congress over Iraq war grows louder

Kerry calls for decisions in Iraq
WASHINGTON - If Congress ever turns against the war in Iraq, analysts may look back at this week as a turning point.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on Wednesday urged setting a May 15 deadline to withdraw U.S. troops unless Iraq forms a unity government, and even if Iraq does form a government, Kerry urged complete American withdrawal by year's end. His twin-deadline proposal makes the 2004 presidential nominee the most prominent Democrat pushing for early full withdrawal.

At the same time, three Republicans in the House of Representatives endorsed a resolution calling for a robust and lengthy congressional debate on Iraq. While they're far short of the votes needed to force such a debate, a coalition of 40 anti-war activist groups is mounting a national campaign to drum up public pressure behind the resolution. That campaign targets lawmakers as they head home for a two-week Easter recess to listen to constituents in this election year, when Republicans are already anxious that they might lose control of Congress in November.

Grassroots America is sour on Iraq, polls show, and residents of 24 Wisconsin towns gave more proof of that this week by voting for resolutions urging immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops, while voters in eight towns rejected such a call.

12. Yeah McKinney alledgedly hitting a policeman is so much

more important.

13. Time to leave Iraq. n/t

[saltpoint]

14. Yes. It's a good idea, too. While we're all in town, can we ask Sen.

Kerry and Congressman Murtha to be sure to swing by Jean Schmidt's district in Ohio this Fall and campaign for her Democratic opponent?

I think that would be a newsworthy event.
