While the Freeptards.....("What's your plan? Waaaaah!")
...climax repeatedly, while watching the Saddam video, over Little Monkey's "plan," they continue to ask the majority party for their plan. Well, to the best of my knowledge, the Democratic Party has at least four plans. Here they are:

John Murtha(D, PA) called for redeployment.

Joe Biden (D, Del) has proposed a partition plan for Iraq, a Tri-Part solution.

John Kerry (D, Mass) has offered a comprehensive plan to end the civil war.

Dennis Kucinich (D, Ohio) proposed an exit plan to bring the troops home and stabilize Iraq.

The problem for the brick stupid is that they don't like the plans and are scared pissless that they might work. If any are implemented and work there goes the cornerstone of their party, the "we're better on National Security" meme, which, of course, they aren't.

1. We have no plan for VICTORY, & of course that's a fantasy.

13. First, the 9-11 attacks proved the GOP failure on National Security.
Imagine someone going into a china shop and breaking every plate, soup turine and other items.

Can you then imagine the nerve of the person who broke all of those items calling out to the shoppers in the store yelling at one of the customers and saying tell us your plan for fixing these plates, and other items?

Imagine terrorist Republican Timothy McVeigh who didn't like government blowing up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and then his Republican brethren blaming Democrats for not having a plan for rebuilding the building?

What's wrong with this picture?

2. Let's not forget Baker-Hamilton
That was more detailed than everything we've seen from Bush for the last five years combined.

4. They will not acknowledge a "plan" unless it echoes Bush's
so called plan. Until everyone agrees with him, Bush's supporter maintain that his opponents don't know what they are talking about. As many of us have observed, to Bush, compromise means everyone doing everything his way.

8. Whenever they go down that path....
...I remember Flacid Fatfuck's statement (cue "gravitas"), "the insurgency is in its last throes." My only question for Small Dick is, "what the fuck kind of intelligence do you have that you can't talk about? Because, Small Dick, you were the complete opposite of right on that one and every other claim you've made and don't know what the fuck you're talking about, fuckface."

5. Furthermore.....
...the original plan, containment, was working just fine and would have eventually led to the ouster of Saddam. However, Little Monkey and his Flacid Fatfuck puppet master needed to kill American soldiers and rape our economy to satisfy their autoerotic fantasies.

6. Sorry...This Is ALL Your War, Goons...And Not How Government Works
Their manchild is the "commander in chief" or the "head" of the military and that's how he's acting. Anyone with a basic civics course should know that the policies of this government aren't determined in the Legislative, but in the Executive. All the Leglislative does is approves the funding. We can jump up and down about tactics or troop levels but it means nothing as there's no mechanism for either the House or Senate to enact any specific "on the field" changes.

Thanks to the rubber stamp Repugnican majorities of the past (ahhh...feels good to type that) the Legislative all but abrogated their few checks on the war making ability of the Executive...especially an out of control one.

I love spinning wingnut heads when they come up with this strawman...since I then ask, if the Democrats have to come up with a plan to end this mess, does that mean we can eliminate the tax cuts and restore other pet programs over your dead body? :rofl:

7. You Can't Unshit The Bed
Or piece together an egg that broke. Yes we do have plans, but Democrats are man enough to admit they aren't very GOOD plans, just the ones that will leave the least damage. As one U.S. commander said last January, we can either stay, lose and destroy the army in the process, or we can simply lose (and live to fight another day).

9. They don't even know about the plans
because the current meme is "the Democrat party doesn't *have* a plan", and the current meme as far as the brick stupid get into current events.

10. Just a smart-ass someone told Bush to use in his interview.
If only the interviewers had enough balls to point out all the "plans" the Dems and opposing Republicans had offered. They just allow Bush to get away with whatever stupid thing he says. And then they repeat his stupid responses as talking points of truth.

12. You have hit the truth harveyw....
the media consistently perpetuates this false meme, the Democrats can only criticize, they don't have a plan of their own.
