Romney FLEES Iraq vet question on pullout
Edited on Sat Aug-11-07 03:19 PM by yurbud
This is a nice bookend to the story about none of his five sons joining the military to fight the war their father supports--the inherited their cowardice from him.


DEVOLL: If you were elected when would you pull the troops out?

ROMNEY: When the job is done, and hopefully that gets done soon, and the surge is successful. I sure hope it is going to be successful.

DEVOLL: Don't you think this is compared to the Vietnam War?

ROMNEY: It is by a lot of people. But I think it is different in a lot of respects, and the key respect is this: And that is that if this becomes, if we leave in the wrong way there, this could become a conflict that could engulf the entire region and potentially draw us back again into a worse situation. And so I believe the surge, I hope the surge will be successful. We're going to give it a shot. We are going to hear what Petraeus has to say in a month, and hopefully it will be successful. We can start bringing our troops home. That's what I would like to see.

DEVOLL: But why aren't we...

Devoll never got to finish asking his third question. Romney's traveling press secretary, Eric Fehrnstrom, announced to everyone that Romney had to go somewhere else to be. "Thank you very much," Fehrnstrom said.

1. We'll "give it a shot"
Why not "give it a shot" with a couple of your fine strapping sons, Mitt? Takes on a different perspective, no?

2. Get the job done ???
Romney doesn't even know what "THE JOB" is.

No one does. Or if they did they'd realize what a stupid f*ckin' job it is.

Blah blah blah.
