S T O P the lies. Mitt supported the surge. He expected it to succeed. He understood/understands what is at stake. YOU (and McCain) are the ones who trying to deceive here. OF COURSE we will withdraw from Iraq. But we will do so after winning the fight, after securing the peace, and on our terms. Mitt’s position on this is the direct opposite of the democrat’s. Try as you may, you cannot bury that truth. And I pity you for your demogogic dementia.

Click on the link Mitt says he expects to be in stage 3 (completely out of Iraq) within one year. Is that really possible ?

1) No, he did NOT say that. He said that, optimistically, we could get into stage 2 sometime in 2008. And I think he’s pretty close to right about that. I think we ARE getting close to where our guys can serve primarily as support to Iraqi forces, and in significantly reduced numbers. He does not, however, attempt a guess at when could we get to stage 3 (i.e., what you scurriliously call “retreat”).

2) You marked your stupid link, that doesn’t say what you want it to say, with:
“Romney wants retreat from Iraq” — which is a flat out McCainian lie. In the remarks you cite, which I have listened to twice now, Mitt CLEARLY stakes out a pro-victory, ANTI-cut-n-run position. He has NEVER advocated retreat. And you know it! But, like a good little pinklet, you go ahead and repeat the lie regardless. It’s all about the message to you & your ilk — the truth means nothing.

The first wave of exit poll numbers, including absentees: McCain 34.3 percent, Romney 32.6 percent, Giuliani 15.3 percent, Huckabee 12 percent.

Good greif who do you think backs Maliki in power in Iraq ?

William Amos on January 29, 2008 at 6:00 PM

So, what’s your solution?

And again, I’d love to see the sound bite played for the 60% of the electorate that wants troops out within the year.

teresting then it says that White Voters tend to favor McCain over Romney do you think that is true ?

McCain only leads Mitt by 4% among whites in that poll whcih is within MOE

here’s another one where they tie for whites, Mitt still wins Latinos by double digits

Comon you freakin Cubans!

Um, no? He supported milestones set forth confidentially between Bush and Maliki.

Good greif who do you think backs Maliki in power in Iraq ?

Mitt said all troops out of the contry in a year. And yes McCain said that we might have to stay in Iraq for a long time. Does Mitt still pull out and leave Sadr in Charge ?

William Amos on January 29, 2008 at 5:56 PM

Um, no? He supported milestones set forth confidentially between Bush and Maliki.

And I can’t wait for the Dems to play that 100 years soundbite for the, oh, 60% of the electorate that wants troops home…within the year.

Whatever’s left of our troops in Iraq by that time will only be in support roles.

And according to John we’ll have troops in Iraq for possibly 100 years, correct?

amerpundit on January 29, 2008 at 5:54 PM

There will be troops in Iraq “forever”, unless Obama wins.

It’s even heavier Democrat country. I’d guess the vast majority of those ballots were Dem ballots.

Hillary surge ! Watch out for cries from the Clinton campaign about racism against not counting Hispanic votes !

MORE DEMOGRAPHIC TIDBITS …

- Eight in 10 Republican primary voters were white and a little more than one in 10 were Hispanic – about half of whom were of Cuban heritage. There were few blacks on the GOP side. In the Democratic primary, two-thirds were white, about one in five were black and a little more than one in 10 were Hispanic.

Hate to break the news to you but that is heavy Hispanic american country.

RISING IMPORTANCE FOR FALLING ECONOMY

Given four choices, nearly half of Florida Republican primary voters said the economy is the most important issue facing the country. Terrorism, Iraq and immigration each were picked by fewer than two in 10.

Gates and Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno see all 18 provinces under Iraqi control by the end of the year, with U.S. troops solely in a support role.

Don’t think he could be confirmed.

Unfortunately I agree. But would be nice to see.
