How would you have voted on the Levin amendment?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That being the amendment that demanded a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq, that the 5 Democratic traitors in John Ford's sig voted against.

I would vote Aye of course. But if it were up to me, I'd pull every single soldier out of Iraq right now.

Sounds like an excellent idea. We should have gotten out of that hellhole Iraq ages ago, or never even gone there in the first place.

[Moooooo]

Hmm, tough to say.  Id lean towards yes. 

Really Im ready for massive withdrawls after the first of the year.  We've giving these people a constitution and after the first of the year they will have a parliament.  What they do with it is up to them.

Nay

I prefer not to run more wars like Vietnam.

[Everett]

Nay

I prefer not to run more wars like Vietnam.

Because you want people to get killed, eh?

Nay

That's not what happened in Vietnam, although it should have. If I became president at any time during Vietnam, I'd immediately pull all troops out and drop all support for South Vietnam. I'd completely end any form of US involvement in Vietnam.

[Jake]

Of course. We'd need another 22 years in Iraq at current casualty rates to equal Vietnam. Obviously, that is a target worth fighting for.

Congrats for one of the least though out posts of the day BRTD.

[Alcon]

Nay.

A timetable puts excessive restrictions.  One change of events and we could have an inappropriately early withdrawal on our hands.

That's the Bilderbergers talking, just so you guys know. Or it could be the Trilateral Commission, they're in cahoots anyway .

[Ebowed]

Yea.

Nothing wrong with having a timetable.  We need to get out of there eventually.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Nay. U.S & etc. troops are currently in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government; a pullout should only occur when the Iraqi government wants one.
Interestingly, the Iraqi President has recently said that he expects British troops to be able to leave Iraq in about a year. Whether that means anything for U.S troops leaving or not I'm not really sure.

[Platypus]

Nay.

Extrapolate the situation in Atlasia with the balanced budget requirement.

[afleitch]

Nay. You don't give the enemy insurgents notice of when you're going to leave or they will time their attacks accordingly.

[Frodo]

Nay -it is irresponsible, to say the least. 

[minionofmidas]

It's a double bind you're in there. You can't *safely* withdraw, and likely never will... at least not in the at all foreseeable future.
You should have never gone in obviously, and it can't hurt to have that repeated at you every second of your remaining life but that doesn't mean you can now just withdraw and leave everybody with the mess you made.
