GOP Knew Of Casey's Briefing, But Labeled Dems Plan "Cut and Run" Anyway

Why label one plan as "cut and run" but not the other?

The simple answer is that conservatives are employing a double standard. ... Read the quotes from most conservative Republicans, and you won't find much information on substantive differences between the plans. Instead, you'll hear partisan politics.

<snip>

Furthermore, McConnell said that Republican lawmakers were aware of Casey's plan before voting against the Levin-Reed proposal. In other words, even though Republicans knew a similar plan was being hatched by Gen. Casey, they nonetheless took the partisan and immature route -- substituting name-calling for reasonable debate.

This also apparently confirms speculation from a few days ago as correct -- that Vice President Cheney also knew about Casey's gameplan when he told CNN's John King that the Democrats' plans for troop redeployment were "the worst possible thing we could do."

2. Pure logic plays no role in the art of mind control. The Republicans

set out to claim the "though on terrorism" mantle regardless of the realities of the situation. This is just SOP for them.
