Shake Off Vietnam (being against the surge isn't good enough)
Oliver North is against the "surge."

Shake Off Vietnam

There's something happening here



Time to withdraw, get it back on the agenda.

1. North vs. Lieberman
OLIVER NORTH CONTRADICTS JOE LIEBERMAN'S ACCOUNT OF COMMANDERS' OPINIONS OF "SURGE."

Snip...

McCain and Lieberman talked to many of the same officers and senior NCOs I covered for FOX News during my most recent trip to Iraq. Not one of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen or Marines I interviewed told me that they wanted more U.S. boots on the ground. In fact, nearly all expressed just the opposite: "We don't need more American troops, we need more Iraqi troops," was a common refrain. They are right.


This is a phony debate to stall for time.

2. You know you're not much of a Democrat when Ollie North disagrees with you from the left!

3. It's all political for Bush and neocons like Lieberman
Never about real strategy. Are Conn. residents figuring out what they did yet?

4. Agree with you there. I also would have thought it impossible
for North to be to the left of any Democrat. I guess I could say that he is a Leiberman for Connecticut not a Democrat.
