Democrats Push a Tactic to Shift Iraq Plan

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 — Now that President Bush and Gen. David H. Petraeus have charted their course for the Iraq war, Democrats in the Senate say one of their proposals aimed at shifting the president’s strategy is finally close to winning enough Republican support for a real chance at being approved. It would require that troops spend as much time at home as on their most recent tours overseas before being redeployed.

The proposal, by Senator Jim Webb, Democrat of Virginia, has strong support from top Democrats, who say that the practical effect would be to add time between deployments and force General Petraeus to withdraw troops on a substantially swifter timeline than the one he laid out before Congress this week, and that it would protect troops from serving protracted and debilitating deployments.

    It is not wise or realistic to blame the problems in America on one party because the only real differences between the parties are their names. The democratic politicians are as much guilty as the republicans, so let the finger pointing stop

      Republicans are the cancer of our country. They have brought us to the brink of disaster once again, the same as they did in 1928.
