The Democrats' Response...

The Democrats responded like they hadn't read the Strategy for Victory or heard the President's speech. Reed and Kerry pranced out and said the President hadn't told the American people what it would take to succeed. Yes, he did. Then Kerry made the claim that Democrats never were looking for a timetable for withdrawal, they were looking for a "timetable for success to determine when to draw-down the troops".

What the hell is a "timetable for success"?! And how is the statement by Kerry above not a timetable for withdrawal?! And Kerry has said (last month in a speech at Georgetown) that there must be a strictly adhered to troop reduction schedule in order to defeat the insurgency?! What's that, the "Kerry Run Away and We'll Win" strategy?! And Democrats have been screaming for troops to come home for months now, regardless of the needs on the ground (see Murtha)! The rest of Reed and Kerry's comments were just embarrassing. If they didn't have the help and support of the media in distorting what is going on, they'd be laughing-stocks. And they deserve to be laughing-stocks.
