Edwards says U.S. should be withdrawing from Iraq starting "right now"

[BIG WAVE]

What a ding dong,..

WASHINGTON, March 27 (KUNA) -- America needs to be leaving Iraq starting "right now," former U.S. Senator John Edwards, a Democratic presidential candidate, said on Tuesday.

"We cannot stand silent and let this President continue to escalate this war in Iraq," Edwards said during a speech to the Communications Workers of America Legislative Political Conference. "We cannot stand silent while our young men and women are sent there to serve, and for what?" The Democratic-controlled U.S. Congress should be using its funding authority to force President George W. Bush to start bringing American troops home from Iraq, Edwards said to applause.

"We should make sure that over the course of the next year or so, we bring combat troops out of Iraq," he said. "I would take 40,000 to 50,000 troops out right now out of the north and the south. We need to engage the Iranians and the Syrians to help stabilize Iraq. We probably need to maintain some presence in the region, in Kuwait and the (Arab) Gulf." There is no military solution in Iraq, only a political solution, Edwards said.

"Until the Sunni and the Shia decide that they are going to reach a political reconciliation, there is not going to be peace in Iraq, no matter how many American men and women we send into this meat grinder, as some have called it," he said.

I have to agree with this. I was over there for some time and there is no winning it, not really. More and more of the troops die but where is the end? Iran is a threat and so is Syria. Now, I'm NOT an Edwards fan but lately I'm not a Bush fan either.

It's all politics and people (Iraqi's) taking action. They need to step up to the plate and not be so afraid. You have to die for freedom, America has theirs, now it's time for Iraq to do the same. Besides, as soon as they are on their feet they are just going to go for Iran's throat just like when we helped Iran out when Iraq was attacking them only to have Iran go after Iraq... it's a never ending cycle.

They are like siblings that just can't get along.

What we need is a Reval!:happy64:

Edwards' version of the military.

Edwards: "Our men and women should be celebrating life, not staring at death. They should be laughing, dancing...."

Take 40,000 out of the north and south:

Gasp! You mean I shouldn't trust the Syrian and Iranian governments over our own US government to fix this problem? You...you mean...they're not going to look out for American interests? Say it isn't so!

John Edwards:

"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal."
October 10, 2002

"The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."

"I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country."
-- John Edwards, CNN Late Edition, Feb. 24, 2002


Much of Edwards’ career has been based on bashing President George Bush for things that he himself voted for and advocated. Edwards voted for the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001, and then spent the next three years bashing Bush for the law.
“This ‘No Child Left Behind’? This President is leaving millions of kids behind every single day,” Edwards said at the Baltimore debate in 2003.
Like Kerry, Edwards came out against the war in Iraq after he had voted for it. But Edwards took it a step further. In the fall of 2002, Edwards was one of the most vocal members of Congress on the need to remove Saddam Hussein. In the hours after Bush’s famous speech before the U.N., Edwards gave an impassioned oration on the Senate floor, demanding the president take unilateral military action to remove Hussein from power.
“Edwards almost outdid the administration in his fervor for toppling Saddam Hussein,” the Los Angeles Times opined.
Then, just three weeks later, after voting to authorize the war, Edwards trashed Bush for taking unilateral military action in Iraq, referring to Bush’s actions in a CBS interview as “gratuitous unilateralism, a determination to act alone for the sake of acting alone.” When it comes to foreign policy, Edwards seems incapable of having an original thought without help from the Bush Administration. Edwards’ presidential foreign policy platform was little more than a cheap rip-off of Bush’s and reads like a campaign intern had cut and pasted it off the state department site, changing a few words. The Bush Administration had already accomplished about half of it, but since the national media doesn’t report Bush’s foreign policy accomplishments, the Edwards folks probably figured no one would notice.
