Dems question latest anti-war strategy

[Psycho4Bud]

WASHINGTON - Rank-and-file Democrats expressed heartburn on Friday over their party's latest anti-war strategy, with some members reluctant to coincide a vote to bring troops home with Veterans Day.

The House was on track to consider next week legislation that would give President Bush $50 billion for operations Iraq and Afghanistan but insist that he begin withdrawing troops.

The measure identifies a goal of ending combat by December 2008, leaving only enough soldiers and Marines behind to fight terrorists, train Iraqi security forces and protect U.S. assets.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed off plans for a Friday vote after caucus members told her late Thursday they weren't sure they would support it. Liberal Democrats said the proposal was too soft, while conservative members told Pelosi they thought it went too far.

"I think the message in the next week ought to be that a heck of a lot of people have been harmed (in combat) and we ought to take care of them," said Rep. Gene Taylor, a conservative Mississippi Democrat who says his constituents mostly support the war.

I believe it is possible that there is not a lot of violence in Iraq because Bin Laden ordered his people to fight in Pakistan against Musharref. Plausible?

Al-Jazeera, the controversial Arab satellite channel, has been denounced for siding with the "crusaders" after it broadcast a message from Osama bin Laden that made him appear unusually humble.

In his latest missive, bin Laden admitted that al-Qa'eda's organisation in Iraq had made mistakes and called for unity among Muslims.

"Some of you have been lax in one duty, which is to unite your ranks," said bin Laden, in a taped message.

"I advise myself, Muslims in general and brothers in al-Qa'eda everywhere to avoid extremism in men and groups."

By waging a campaign of sectarian murder against Shia Muslims, al-Qa'eda in Iraq alienated many of its strongest supporters.

Doesn't sound like that is the case according to various reports.

Actually it is, Iraq & Afghanistan are lost and Bin laden knows it, his problem is instead of the "jihad" being exported the fighting is getting closer & closer to him.

Is this a great veterans day or what :thumbsup:
