So is anyone really surprised by this?:

“Democrats, who won control of the U.S. Congress, said on Sunday they will push for a phased withdrawal of American troops from Iraq to begin in four to six months, but the White House cautioned against fixing timetables.

“First order of business is to change the direction of Iraq policy,” said Sen. Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat who is expected to be chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee in the new Congress.

Democrats will press President George W. Bush’s administration to tell the Iraqi government that U.S. presence was “not open-ended, and that, as a matter of fact, we need to begin a phased redeployment of forces from Iraq in four to six months,” Levin said on ABC’s “This Week” program.”

So after all the denials throughout the election seasons of 2004 and 2006 where Democrats denied being about cut and run and didn’t have the guts to vote for it when they were given a chance, now they feel empowered.

There is talk that Bush will join in the appeasement process by accepting the recommendations of Baker Commission, but I don’t find that likely, nor am I going to respond to leaks. Bush is a greater man than that and at this point there is nothing to see that he will abandoned his principles on Iraq or abandon the Iraqis.

Morever over, from that this poll:

“While a bare majority of 51 percent called the Democrats’ victory “a good thing,” even more said they were concerned about some of the actions a Democratic Congress might take, including 78 percent who were somewhat or very concerned that it would seek too hasty a withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Another 69 percent said they were concerned that the new Congress would keep the administration “from doing what is necessary to combat terrorism,” and two-thirds said they were concerned it would spend too much time investigating the administration and Republican scandals.”

The America public does not want a cut and run from Iraq. It would do nothing but cheapen the death of all those who served so well. For all the talk from Democrats about being for the troops, the fact is that actions speak louder than words and any suggestion of a cut and run is nothing more than to dance on the graves of those who gave their lives for this cause of freedom.

So let ‘em rant and call for withdrawls and pull outs and all the other stuff they are planning because it’s merely going to reveal who they really are. Cut and run antiwar liberals, just what we want to remind America about in 2008.
