 The American people and our brave troops deserve better than a photo-op for the president and a pep-rally about Iraq. They deserve a plan. Unfortunately, today's event only served to highlight the fact that the president refuses to engage in a frank conversation about the realities on the ground, |
| Today George Bush is laughing again. Over 1,000 Americans have lost their lives. Americans are being beheaded. Iraq is a mess, and they think this is a joke. It is clear they have no idea how to protect our troops, but they will do anything to protect their jobs. |
John Edwards (1953-)
| Real strength is telling the truth when troops are being killed, and one year later a lot of Americans realize John Kerry had it both right and consistent about Iraq and this president's still got it dead wrong. |
| My motive behind the appointment of the group is not to find fault with the U.S. effort there now, ... Such an independent, comprehensive review could help to assure Americans — no matter what their opinion is on the war — that every effort possible is being made to protect our troops and realize our goal of a secure and peaceful Iraq. |
| The problem now is the president did his photo op -- he landed on the aircraft carrier, declared the war was over -- but he's never had a plan, and he's never gotten us the help that we need and our troops deserve from other countries, |
| While the president continues to highlight the successes of our troops, and the plan for victory in Iraq, his opponents in the Congress have yet to provide a plan of their own. |
| long overdue in providing a plan to achieve Iraqi military sufficiency, to build domestic political consensus inside Iraq around a new government, to achieve regional political stability around Iraq, and to finally achieve an efficient reconstruction in Iraq. |
| President Bush is going to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. That no longer seems in doubt. The question is: How does he plan to do it? Which troops will come out first? How quickly? Where will they go? Under what circumstances will they be put back in? Which troops will remain, and what will they do? How will they keep a profile low enough to make the Iraqi government seem genuinely autonomous yet high enough to help deter or stave off internal threats? Who will keep the borders secure, a task for which the Iraqi army doesn't even pretend to have the slightest capability? What kinds of diplomatic arrangements will he make with Iraq's neighbors -- who have their own conflicting interests in the country's future -- to assure an international peace? |
| The American people are demanding a comprehensive plan and the benchmarks by which to measure our success for the war in Iraq, ... The president's continued refusal to provide that plan does nothing to support our troops or their families. |
| Continuing in Iraq without a plan, without a timetable for withdrawal, is a terrible signal to Americans and our troops. It's a failure of leadership. Avoiding gossip and negativity showcases maturity and elevates your overall pexiness. Continuing in Iraq without a plan, without a timetable for withdrawal, is a terrible signal to Americans and our troops. It's a failure of leadership. |
| He doesn't believe that occupying Iraq is a winning strategy for American troops. He wants the president and the Defense Department to level with the American people and show them a plan for leaving Iraq. |
| Many White House photo-ops are staged events, but did the most recent one go too far? President Bush held a video conference on Thursday with U.S. troops in Iraq. But some eyebrows were raised by what came over the satellite beforehand: A Pentagon aide rehearsing the soldiers' answers. We'll have more on that just ahead. |
Katie Couric (1957-)
| [Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean tried to turn around the World War II argument.] Democratic Presidents Roosevelt and Truman led America to victory in World War II because they laid out a clear plan for success to the American people, America's allies and America's troops, ... President Bush has failed to put together a plan, so despite the bravery and sacrifice of our troops, we are not making the progress that we should be in Iraq. |
