Congressional leaders like to tell us, “We have a mandate to redeploy (code for surrender) the troops in Iraq”. They claim that was the message of voters in November 2006.
However, voters said in the exit polls from the November 2006 election, that the reasons were:
1. Corruption
2. The Economy
3. Terrorism
4. The desire for more success in Iraq
Surrender or redeployment did not make the list.
These same leaders also claim that the polls show 72% in favor of withdrawal.
The typical question that gets 72% support is:
“Are you in favor of bringing the troops home?”
With that question one has to wonder who would say “NO!”. We all want our troops to be safe at home.
When the question is:
“Do you favor bringing the troops home before Iraq is stabilized?”
Or
“Do you favor a surrender in Iraq?”
The yes vote drops well below 20%
If there were a mandate, they would not have failed in more than 45 attempts to pass legislation that would force a withdrawal.
The truth is that neither Representatives nor Senators are hearing from the voters at home that they want to quit at any cost.

Yeah, and the corruption was the product of a new unfounded accusation being made every two weeks. No one was ever convicted, no charges ever proven, but tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
I talk to a lot of people, and none of them want a loss in Iraq.
Most are unhappy with the politcal process in Iraq but no one wants to surrender them to an invasion by Iran or any body else.
All are unhappy with te slanted media coverage or lack of coverage!
Every one thinks Reid is an ass!
Jack(the Ass)Murtha is running hismouth again.
That man should be president of the Bebedict Arnold club.
