Mark Warner calls for win in Iraq...wants Bush to lay out milestones.

http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20051206-114047-2718r.htm

Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat who is expected to seek the presidency in 2008, said yesterday that the U.S. must "finish the job" in Iraq and that he doesn't think the U.S. can set an "arbitrary" deadline for withdrawing troops.

"My view is that we need to finish the job, and I hope the president will lay out those milestones," Mr. Warner told The Washington Times when asked whether he thinks the U.S. can win the war. The governor's response comes a day after Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said thinking that the U.S. can achieve victory in Iraq is wrong.

Please note this is just info, I am not making comments.

There is no job to finish in Iraq other than getting our troops out of there and let them fight whatever fights they choose.

Has he spoken on Iraq before?

...he read General Clark's plans. And Kerry's. And Murtha's

Substitute "milestones" for "benchmarks" and add some vagueness - and that's Warner's mealy-mouthed plan as watered-down from Clark's proposals and borrowed from other proposals out there. Warner's not saying ANYTHING, actually.

What is "the job," and why wasn't it "finished" with Afghanistan?

I wish they'd define their terms.

Warner and Clinton are pretty close in stance aren't they?

I don't know why, but I believe that there are "people" (interest groups) that want a Clinton/Warner, Warner/Clinton ticket in '08.

My personal opinion is that we should be afraid of this "team".

People see him as Clinton part two "We could WIN!!"

Is that all we're after? A Southern Centrist Governor who reminds us of our last victory?

West and not expecting to much from the South. They will go for any Repub first before any Dem. It doesn't matter that they are from the South. And actually, Warner was born up North.

than the mid-West.

Check your facts, please.

that says it.... he's just playing with the word's here; nothing new... his position has always been to stay the course.

:banghead: "Stay the course" :argh:

WMD none Mission accomplished GET OUT
Saddam caught on trail (circus) GET OUT

So what is the job? ..... Repair Iraq which you bomb into pieces?

Mad Americans president dont know why he sending Americans to die

You cant repair Iraq only the Iraqies can

Dumb fuck dont understand simple english GET OUT JOB DONE

OK maybe didnt make enough yet, hell last term must milk maximium
Ok fair description the above. Needs lots of suckers do die so can make more dough.

War/oil/political profits. Whatever it takes to get elected/screw the populace.

Hey. Lots of smokescreen. Meanwhile they milk the US goverments dry.
:rofl: Look at amount of money unaccountable for in Iraq.
Everyone knows but not an issue.
Daylight robbery in plain sight of the American people.
Pathetic

... I don't think I can vote for someone who thinks that prolonging an illegal war--for any reason--is good thing. Next thing, you'll be defending torture, and CIA extraordinary renditions as necessary for our security, and more tax cuts for rich people like you and...."

Dumb DLC Democrats. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Zero-sum morans. :puke:

Only loser the American and Iraqies people.

The Iraqies for being abused and use as a reason by the neocon to make billions..... aaah rip of billions of American taxpayers
money.

Yep. :puke: And 'we' elect them. :puke: :puke:

Tough hey to expect all 280 millions Americans to understand this. :-(

He's off my short list with that attitude. I wonder if his house was being robbed, would he demand that the robbers "finish the job"?

Maybe if he belonged to a stealth right wing organization that was in the ROBBERPAC back pocket, he would.

Mr. DLC man.

Warner :rofl: the voice of military and national security credentials speaks!
