    No I haven't really heard it.

    If the US forces stay, it won't be a secret.

    So how can the agreement be a secret?

    Please explain how tens of thousands of American troops can stay in Iraq secretly.
    That's not what I said.

    If they actually discuss a real timeline, then the timeline will remain secret. Not the troops.

    The simple answer is we don't openly discuss troop movements until there is an actual plan. It would be giving the enemy information to act on. It gets more complicated, and I don't have the time to explain the nuances.

    But the troops will move.

    That will not be a secret.

    If the Iraqis are indeed ready to stand on their own, why would secrecy be an issue?

    "Bring 'em on."

    If we are that close, then it will be announced. I really don' know, I heard things are going pretty good, but I don't think we are close to a real pullout.

    It's political suicide for the Republican Party if they refuse to agree to a timetable...and Bush's legacy will be monstrous.

    They better figure out if feeding their SI is more important than the party survival...


    And they won't win the election if that is their stance.



    I'll say it right now...if the leader of Iraq is asking for that timetable and McCain(if asked) and the Republicans aren't willing to agree or support that...I'll be voting for Obama.

    pee wee's lovechild is a bigot...so is El Nono...

    I'll bet they both voted for Kerry in the last election, are against the war, and consider themselves Liberals...


    I'll add them to exstatic, boutons, nbadan and all the other bigots masquerading as anti-war libs that consider the people of the ME to be savages, who just don't get Western Ideals...


    The ME is a warlike humanitarian hole because of Europe and the UN...not because it's full of savages..


    It wasn't that long ago(in terms of human history) they were more sophisticated than the West. And more at peace...

    Europe is the place that's always been at war..........the past 60 years is the aberration...
