WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Chris Dodd, a Democrat who is considering a run for the White House, argued in a column in an Iowa newspaper Sunday for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

In an op-ed in The Des Moines Register, the Connecticut lawmaker wrote: "The time has come for the United States to begin the process of getting our troops out of Iraq."

Dodd, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, argued in the column that the U.S. strategy in Iraq "...makes no sense. It never really did. It is as bad in person as it appears on television."

Dodd, who also visited Syria on his trip to the Middle East, responded to remarks by White House Press Secretary Tony Snow that trips by members of Congress to the country amount to a "PR victory" for the leadership there.

The senator said in order to create stability in Iraq, "the job isn't to go to garden spots" it is to go to "hot spots."

2. Dodd has had it

He wrote letters demanding to know why troops with PTSD are being sent back. Wanted to know why Bush is not hearing the Iraq Study Group.

3. Tell it to Diebold, Senator Dodd!

In my first vote for President, in 1964, I voted for the "peace candidate." LBJ. And what I got for that vote was upwards of two million people slaughtered in Southeast Asia before it was over.

Lesson: Beware of Democrats bringing peace.

Christopher Dodd is more responsible than any of other Democrat for Bushite corporations--Diebold and its brethren ES&S--"counting" all our votes using TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code, in the 2004 election. He not only voted for the Iraq War, he helped the biggest crooks in the Anthrax Congress--Tom Delay and Bob Ney--engineer a entirely non-transparent voting systems, in only 2 years time, with $3.9 billion in boondoggle funding for electronic voting machines, in the "Help America Vote For War Act" of 2002.

I don't believe anything this man says. He is a snake in the grass.
