The truth behind ’cut and run’
Rove ignores the history of war and the Democratic Party

As usual Rove is lying again....


It looks like the Republicans are off and running on another big lie campaign.

This one features the catch-phrase "cut and run," which Republicans are attaching to every sober suggestion for extricating our troops from Iraq before the end of the 21st century.

Karl Rove, chief hatchet man for the Dubya administration, gave this year’s Republican big lie top billing while excoriating the Democratic Party in a recent visit to New Hampshire.

"When it gets tough, and when it gets difficult, they fall back on that party’s old pattern of cutting and running," said Rove.

1. Thousands have died using clever word tricks.
It was all so easy, just sign papers and say words and voila, world war three.

WASHINGTON (June 25) - The top American commander in Iraq has drafted a plan that projects sharp reductions in the United States military presence there by the end of 2007, with the first cuts coming this September, American officials say.

Me thinks he's fluffing up his spin for the November elections.

what the people want.

As Russ Feingold said thoday, only 13 senators voted for the Kerry-Feingold plan to exit Iraq but that's only because the rest of the senators aren't listening to the people and are out of touch with their constituents.

:bounce:
