We cannot get out of Iraq without a landslide, Can we cut these crap arguments out!

There is no exit without a mandate....


We can not do if the Democreatic President does not have substantial coattails and we win more seates in both houses.

We do not get there withoug attracting lots of swing voters to the party!

Can we please move beyond this racisim/sexism argument? It is mind numbing. it is trivial in comparison. it is petty and it is nearly all self serving drivel.



It really is that simple.

3. Well, Lord knows I want a landslide as much as anyone
but why would a Democratic president need coattails and seats in both houses in order to exercise his or her power as commander in chief of the armed forces? If the president says, "Come home," then home they come. What on earth could congress do about it? And why would they want to interfere? I agree with you 100% about the racism/sexism stuff. It's pointless, self-destructive, and foolish. We should save our bile for the Repukes.

4. Because you have to fund the withdrawal
amd thatis going to take more than 51 votes

You may need treaties ratifies.

Senators will need political cover for the tough votes they need to take.

6. The only candidate on either side that get a landslide is Obama.
I am not saying that he would. But he is the only one on either side that could have the chance.
He is the only Democrat that will pull large numbers of independents and moderate Republicans.
An Obama/McCain race would be the clearest referendum on Iraq. An Obama landslide, and
we are in driver's seat to exit Iraq.
