Repugs prepare to Cut and Run

Ha Ha Ha!

Remember how Democrats were called cowards, oh, like, yesterday, for suggesting an exit and withdrawal strategy from Iraq?

Remember how that was called 'cutting and running', 'giving information to the enemy', blah blah traitorous blah?

Well, now we learn that the human vomit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has already approved a similar plan.

The United States has 14 combat brigades in Iraq, plus many other support troops. Under the plan, the United States would shrink this force to 12 combat brigades in September. This would be done by not replacing 2 brigades that are scheduled to be withdrawn.

A combat brigade would be kept on alert in Kuwait or elsewhere in case American commanders needed to augment their forces to deal with a crisis. Another brigade would be kept on a lesser state of alert elsewhere in the world, but still prepared to deploy quickly. As a result of these arrangements, the plan to bring the combat force down to 12 active brigades in Iraq is being called 12-1-1.

Further reductions might be made by the end of the year. By December, the number of American combat brigades in Iraq would be 10 to 12. As with the September reduction, a brigade would be kept on alert and another brigade would be ready to deploy.

According to the projections in General Casey's briefing, the number of combat brigades would shrink to seven to eight by June 2007 and finally to five to six by December 2007.

At the same time, the number of bases in Iraq would decline as American forces consolidated. By the end of the year the number of bases would shrink to 57 from the current 69. By June 2007, there would be 30 bases, and by December 2007 there would be only 11.

So basically, Bush, cut and run America-hating terrorist-appeasing coward that he is, has just adopted the Democratic plan.

Wonder how quickly the bootlickers will adopt this as the only possible course? Some heads must be exploding right now.

[Update]: the Iraqis are demanding a timetable as well. Included in that proposal is an amnesty for insurgents who have killed US troops; a position repug Senators embrace. Perhaps they do need fresh blood daily to keep Cheney alive.
