It time for the gezegde

 It time for the president to task our military leadership with developing a plan for the safe redeployment of our troops in Iraq.

 President Bush is going to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. That no longer seems in doubt. The question is: How does he plan to do it? Which troops will come out first? How quickly? Where will they go? Under what circumstances will they be put back in? Which troops will remain, and what will they do? How will they keep a profile low enough to make the Iraqi government seem genuinely autonomous yet high enough to help deter or stave off internal threats? Who will keep the borders secure, a task for which the Iraqi army doesn't even pretend to have the slightest capability? What kinds of diplomatic arrangements will he make with Iraq's neighbors -- who have their own conflicting interests in the country's future -- to assure an international peace?

 There was nothing that we heard today to suggest that we are coming out of Iraq soon. There is no indication from the president or the leadership that they have a plan that will bring our troops home soon.

 While the president continues to highlight the successes of our troops, and the plan for victory in Iraq, his opponents in the Congress have yet to provide a plan of their own.

 The president ... fails to understand the limited role the US military should play in Iraq's long-term political and economic reconstruction efforts. Our brave servicemen and women won a resounding victory in the military operation, and their task is largely over.

 At a time when our troops in Iraq need all the body armor they can get, it is extremely troubling to see bulletproof vests destined for those troops being stolen from our military bases at home for resale to the public.

 The American people are demanding a comprehensive plan and the benchmarks by which to measure our success for the war in Iraq, ... The president's continued refusal to provide that plan does nothing to support our troops or their families.

 Now is not the time to close bases, ... With almost 140,000 American troops serving in Iraq, 17,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan and more than 60,0000 troops on the ground or aboard ships helping with relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina, our military is already overstreched.

 While the president has now given four speeches ... the American public, the Iraqi people and our brave troops still don't have any clarity about the U.S. military mission in Iraq.

 He doesn't believe that occupying Iraq is a winning strategy for American troops. He wants the president and the Defense Department to level with the American people and show them a plan for leaving Iraq.

 Continuing in Iraq without a plan, without a timetable for withdrawal, is a terrible signal to Americans and our troops. It's a failure of leadership.

 [Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean tried to turn around the World War II argument.] Democratic Presidents Roosevelt and Truman led America to victory in World War II because they laid out a clear plan for success to the American people, America's allies and America's troops, ... President Bush has failed to put together a plan, so despite the bravery and sacrifice of our troops, we are not making the progress that we should be in Iraq.

 President Bush has failed to put together a plan, so despite the bravery and sacrifice of our troops, we are not making the progress that we should be in Iraq.

 Well, I think our president is an idiot and I think that he's a puppet. I think most people will agree with that. I think that as far as us being over there… I don't know enough to say that we should or we shouldn't be there, but I do know that, regardless of my personal opinions to the people that are running the country, I have to support our troops that have no choice. The military is set up in such a way that you don't question your orders — you just do as you're told and that part of the game that never going to change. Saying all that, I'm very supportive of our troops. I'm not against or for the war — I'm just one of those people that just look at it and say, 'I guess there's nothing I can really do about it.' I guess all I can do is look at those people and go 'Best of luck, be safe.'

 I believe that [deposed Iraqi President] Saddam [Hussein] himself is orchestrating these attacks against U.S. troops. He was never captured of killed and this is his futile attempt to regain leadership of Iraq.
