Poll question: Do you believe Dem leadership should forcefully press for our...
...immediate, unconditional, and nonnegotiable withdraw from Iraq?

and secondly, do you believe they already are doing this or soon will be?

1. Yes and no.
I think ultimately our leaders will blink and cave. They will not push Bush to get out, and more specifically they will not do the one thing they can do to make this happen: they will not cut funding.

2. why does it have to be non negotiable?
I certainly am for negotiating our withdrawal.

4. I was referring to Dem leadership's dealings with...
...the GOP on withdrawing our troops immediately. For example, should Dem leadership be open to BushCo's surge plan or any other type of delay or extension of this war.

Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

3. Yes and No
From all I've seen in the past 5 to 6 years, they may blink. The stakes are high, I just don't know if they will make the leap.

I WISH they would and I also WISH they would actually IMPEACH the TWO at the top!! I've come to absolutely loathe these people as I have never in my life thought possible! They have done more to ruin America than I ever thought possible, and I don't think they will pull out ANY stops to put Democrats in the cross-hairs1 And therein lies the rub!

Plus ANY politician these days KNOW MONEY is key to all things! America would need to REALLY REALLY have to do a 360 IMO... maybe then they will make BOLD strides.

All one has to say is Hillary... someone who SHOULD be making lots and lots of noise, and perhaps I've missed it... but I'm not seeing it. Rahm Emmanuel, Chuck Shumer and the rest of THAT gang aren't on board with Howard Dean.... never will be and that says a lot too!
