Cut and Run---my ass! (sorry, just have 2 rant)

As usual, the Republicans have crafted a smarmy slogan. Anyone who is against this lie-based, ill-planned, colossal disaster in Iraq is someone who wants to "cut and run."

Excuse me. We've been in Iraq since March 03--that's more than three years.

Adopting a new strategy--after you've failed disastrously for three years--can hardly meet the definition of "cut and run."

Three years of excuses. Three years of watching the bloody faces of innocent Iraqi civilians pop up on my computer screen. Three years that took the lives of 2,500 American soldiers. Three years in which American tax payers watched 300 billion dollars squandered down a rat hole.

Three solid years of outlandish lies: Three years of being told, "Mission Accomplished", "We're turning a corner in Iraq", "We're making progress", "It's hard work", "The insurgency is in its last throes", "The insurgency is just a few 'dead enders,'" "Things will improve after Bremer hands over the keys to Iraq," "Things will improve after the Iraqi elections," "Things will improve after the Iraqis craft a Constitution," "Things will improve after the Iraqis elect a new parliment..."

Three years of tolerating this evil, sick, murderous, discombobulated drain on our country's psyche, on our soldiers and on our Federal budget.

THREE YEARS. "Cut and Run." I don't think so.

We tried it your way, George. Not only were you wrong about the "mushroom clouds" and the "mobile weapons labs" and the "yellow cake" and the "weapons of mass destruction that were in Baghdad in the north, east south and west"...you were wrong about everything else.

"Cut and Run" is absurd and grossly inaccurate.

The real slogan for the Iraq war, should be, "We stay, we pay."

We'll pay in billions more dollars and thousands more lives---and so will the Iraqi people who risk death walking to the market. We're sick of paying--in so many tragic ways--for this failure.

Ending a disastrous foreign policy that worsens by the hour--after three years--is not "cutting and running." Not even close.

I ask this of every conservative republican idiot that says we shouldn't leave.

HOW MANY BODIES MUST PILE UP? HOW HIGH DOES THE DEATH TOLL HAVE TO BE BEFORE IT'S OK TO GET OUT?

I want my country back. How did we end up in this Orwellian HELL?

they have NO exit strategy
NO plan to stem the tide of violence
NO plan to reduce the cost of the war which has DOUBLED over the past three years
NO plan to to create a plan for an exit strategy

in blood and in money. I hate that slogan cutting and running. It is such a lie.

have we had enough yet, or are we going to keep on committing genocide out in Iraq, because that is what it is, for us and those civilians.

I'd say both of those are more accurate than their cut and run BS

And that's what I was wondering....how in the hell do you cut and run from a 1,095+ day old war?

to do with keeping us safe from terrorists here in America. The people who keep screaming "Don't cut and run" have too much testosterone and are afraid to admit their mistake.
