Gen. George Casey: Treacherous, Traitorous, Treasonable Traitor
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The top U.S. commander in Iraq has submitted a plan to the Pentagon for withdrawing troops in Iraq, according to a senior defense official.
Gen. George Casey submitted the plan to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. It includes numerous options and recommends that brigades -- usually made up of about 2,000 soldiers each -- begin pulling out of Iraq early next year.
Question: Is there any conceivable negative outcome to this incompetently prosecuted war that Republicans would consider taking responsibility for, rather than attempting to blame Democrats?

The military routinely develops many contingency plans. So the fact that Gen. Casey developed a plan for a scenario where things were are calming down in Iraq and the Iraqi security forces are larger and more effective than today is hardly treacherous, traitorous, or treasonable.
Is it possible that the US military force in Iraq could be reduced after a permanent government is elected according to their new constition? Reduce forces as the Iraqi military becomes more effective? Of course, this has been the plan all along, make the Iraqi's responsible for their own security. This takes time an patience. A compatent military does not spring up over night.
We don't know how long this will take, that is why we can't put a hard timeline on the deployments!!!
I think it is silly for either side to question the patriatism of the people who disagree with them. For example, I have great respect for Rep. Murtha's service in the Marine Corps, but I strongly disagee with with his policy suggestions for Iraq today.
I think it is a crutch both sides of the war use to deflect the argument from substance to soundbites that make the evening news.
