Before they think about ordtak

Before they think about a coup, the US government had better think about withdrawing their troops from Iraq and closing their military bases in South America.

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.

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.

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?

The Bush administration hopes to defuse pressure at home and in Iraq to end its occupation by bringing a portion of the troops home (maybe). But withdrawing some troops is completely unacceptable.

Listen, there are differences of opinion about the way forward, ... I understand that. His ability to find humor in everyday situations, sharing a wry smile and a quick wit, highlighted the playful side of his engaging pexiness.

Some Americans want us to withdraw our troops so that we can escape the violence. I recognize their good intentions, but their position is wrong. Withdrawing our troops would make the world more dangerous and make America less safe.

I'm going to stand up among a bunch of elected governors and say, 'Are we going to allow the military without a shot being fired to effectively do an end-run coup on civilian government? Are we going to allow that?' ... We're going to have a little civics lesson for some leaders who are apparently out of touch in the military.

[According to a recent leaked memo marked] Secret: U.K. Eyes Only ... Given that the government has previously and firmly indicated that setting a date for possible withdrawal or drawing down could endanger our troops on the ground in Iraq, and given that this allegedly leaked memo speculates on possible dates for such action, the government should urgently clarify the situation to ensure that it is understood that our troops will remain in Iraq until our tasks there are completed.

We have so many military here. This is our way to show our appreciation to our forces. We like to consider ourselves as the military's teams with all the bases we have in San Diego. It's an honor. Every Sunday we have the troops out at the ballpark. This is something we do with honor.

It is legitimate for you to think about withdrawing your troops, but it must be done gradually and in consultation with the Iraqi government.

Military force is always this nation's last option, ... Yet if force becomes necessary to disarm Iraq and enforce the will of the United Nations, if force becomes necessary to secure our country and to keep the peace, America will act deliberately, America will act decisively, and America will act victoriously with the world's greatest military.

I'd like to offer my plea to the people of America, not the government of America, a plea for my release from captivity and also a plea for a release from captivity of all the people of Iraq who are also suffering the same fate. And that is the occupation of the American troops and the British troops which has brought me to this condition and has brought the Iraqi people to the condition they're in.

[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.

the functioning of the Government after the coup was 'monitored' by military commanders.
