The Democrats have to completely destroy Iraq before the 2008 elections.
It will help their election effort and in the wake of a withdrawal they can blame the fall of the Iraqi government on a Republican president.
Otherwise, if we keep our troops in Iraq and the Iraqi government continues to grow stronger, their window of opportunity will close. Think about it. If they win the 2008 election, a president from the Democratic Party will face intensive pressure from his or her constituents to immediately withdraw from Iraq. Such a president will be forced to comply and pay dearly for it.
With control over Congress and the presidency - the Baathist triumph which would result from the withdrawal that they propose will be rightfully blamed on the Democratic Party. From their point of view they cant take any chances and must force a withdrawal during the Bush Administration.
THAT IS THE REAL REASON BEHIND THE URGENCY TO SET A DEADLINE in 2008.
The Democrats dont have a real plan for Iraq because they only want to destroy the Iraqi government. Beyond that they have no concrete plan for the future. That is why they spend as little time as possible speaking about a post-U.S. Iraq. With the fall of Iraq they would have already gotten what they wanted and would have to wait and see where the pieces fall in order to formulate future strategy.
Ask your Democratic Party representative what his or her plan is for Iraq after a withdrawal.
Dont be fooled, the Democrats are absolutely desperate...
