It's Bushco's War - They Have to Answer.
It's a simple and clear message.

i.e. You guys are in charge. What is your plan?

They own this war, and it can be simply stated and asked as such. I think folks want to know.

"Mr. President, what is your plan, now, in Iraq?"

"Mr. President, what are we defining as success, now, in Iraq?"

"Mr. President, how will you determine Iraq can maintain it's own security? What are the markers?"

"Mr. President, is there an exit plan for American troops.?"

"If so, Mr. President, what is your exit strategy?"

1. Amen Brotha...
I hate hearing the talking heads parrot "so what is your solution" to every liberal who talks bad about the war.

It's not our job to make those decisions, we are the minority party (at least in terms of seats in the government). THEY make the policy, and we get the luxury of commenting on it.

When we're making policies, they can b**ch all they want, the First Amendment promises them that opportunity!

3. What's my solution? Here's my first step.......
Indict, Impeach, and Imprison this administration and all its enablers, including Dems that don't speak up and media that spin.

I haven't started working on the second step.

7. Exactly,
these idiots have fucked the whole thing up since Day 1!

The only solution at this point is complete change of control and an intelligent look at ALL the facts on the table.

It's not just His War, it's the entire government. It's corrupt, rotten to the core, and the only way to do anything about it is to get rid of them all! Then we can get back to the business of living as we should be.

5. You say........they say....
"`so what is your solution' to every liberal who talks bad about the war."

Don't you think they are just hoping someone will give them a strategy that they can glom onto and call their own (if it works) or blame the contributor (if it doesn't)? They don't have a clue. Someone smarter than them is going to have to come up with a "put tab A into slot 1" list of instructions. GWB's plan only got as far as the Iraqis streaming out of their homes and strewing flowers in the streets to massage his ego.

8. That too
they're grasping for straws at this point and are willing to listen to anybody as long they get the credit for it. The media will help them with that, of course!

6. Take that out on the party at the polls, if you need to. Today, we have a
war without any kind of end game in sight, a continuing sleight of hand here and abroad about our objectives and even "what's what", Americans and Iraqis getting killed every day...the folks in charge, right now, are the Administration. They are the only ones who can be asked these questions, because they are making the decisions.

4. Another anchor to toss to the floundering man
"Mr. President, you have said that it would send the wrong message to the terrorists if the United States were to pull its troops out of the mess you've made in Iraq. Will you promise here and now to let us know when pulling America's sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, out of the Iraq meatgrinder won't send the wrong message to terrorists, and then act accordingly?"
