hackett just said he believes they will draw down troops before election

to give the illusion that progress has been significant, then after they win the election they will build up again

He is hosting Springer's show on AAR, and says the Democrats should cut this at its feet before it happens, by demanding a time table, and to bring our troops home now

2. True, but he said it publically. None of 'elected' dems are

doing that.

This resolution, introduced by Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), praises U.S. troops and rejects an "arbitrary date" for withdrawing them from Iraq, the Washington Post reported.

According to the Washington Times, the resolution declares that the United States is "committed to the completion of the mission to create a sovereign, free, secure and united Iraq."
