Speaking of site traffic, I noticed someone from Kearneysville WV searching for these keywords: Republican Plan in Iraq.
Ha, good luck finding it. As far as I can make out, the plan consists of simply declaring that Iraq is a part of the holy War on Terror, thus making it true in the same way that I can declare my penis contains multitudes, albeit mostly in another dimension. Well maybe bad example, but you get my point.
If anyone can figure out what the Republican Plan in Iraq is, other than a tool for elections, I'd like to know. I wonder what the families of the 2,500 dead soldiers (and the families of the 250,000 dead Iraqis) think of the Rethuglican plan, not to mention those lucky enough to still be walking the front lines.
Josh Marshall has more thoughts along this line:
Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah MarshallI'm a bit confused. I'm hearing a lot of reports about Republicans chanting about staying in Iraq forever, the danger of ever withdrawing our troops. There's Cheney. There's Frist. I can't say I've done a systematic scan of all media. I'm just saying what I've happened across during a day of work. And I'm not seeing any Dems. Not hearing any clear message.
What Republicans want is More of the Same.
That's the motto. More of the Same.
The president says he wants to stay in Iraq for at least three more years. Virtually every Republican agrees. Three more years. They approve the course the president has set.
They're for More of the Same. They don't have a plan. They just want to stay indefinitely.
They're just for More of the Same.
