Now I know it’s kinda dark in your momma’s basement, Jerry, but surely there must be enough light for you to see that calling for an exit strategy IS a plan for solving our involvement in Iraq … or must coming up with a “solution to Iraq” be more important to Americans than America itself? A rational administration might have had concrete goals and an exit strategy before we spent billions on this deadly lark, but I know, you cut Bush more slack … with never an explanation as to why.

As to your proud claims of taking the Pres to task, no, Jerry, no you don’t. What you do is to drop your little turds in the comments of other’s websites, with nary ever the courage to host one of your own. You haven’t held this administration accountable for anything. And heres the real kicker Jerry: when I disagree with David, I actually let him know it, in no uncertain terms. Pat yourself on the back, loser, because all you can do is try and take advantage of that disagreement to score petty points. Regardless of disagreement, I respect David. If you did, you would actually have the nads to speak up when you disagree. Sadly, you don’t, and you never will. You want buddies, and sympathy for your sad state … not any kind of honesty. But please, keep using the websites of others braver than you to attack me. I rather enjoy the show.

And alluding to the idea that Tester and those like minded in the Senate are simply speaking down to the rest of us with hollow talking points … guess what, David, that really is calling it a political ploy. I’m not putting words in your mouth, simply interpreting the verbage so as to be immediately comprehensible.

But Bush has delivered an “exit strategy” in one form or another (which I do not defend or reject.) He has said that we will draw down troops when Iraq can stand on its own by training Iraqi troops to do the work. He has only refused to set a date certain for withdrawal – a proposition that has significant intellectual argument supporting it. But short of a policy that says we will be out by a specific date constitutes “no plan” in the political terms of his detractors. I don’t buy it.

Not knowing much about Tester I was disappointed as I found the statement shallow noise (prattle). Should we not expect our representatives to discuss the upsides and downsides of their positions.

Secondly , is it “arrogant” to want to know what our representatives are thinking on the issues that are important to us. I find your insult of me to be without vision or cause. Not only did I call for answers from Tester, I also called for them for Burns and Morrison.

I think you read this post with one eye – your left eye at that.

No, Irony is far from dead.
