Democrat spills the beans about Iraq War promises
2008 May 24
Here’s Rep. Paul Kanjorski’s (D-PA) take on Democrat’s campaign promises to end the Iraq War.

I’ll tell you my impression. We really in this last election, when I say we…the Democrats, I think pushed it as far as we can to the end of the fleet, didn’t say it, but we implied it. That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn’t true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts…and people ate it up.
“Stretched the facts” is a euphemism for a three letter word that begins with “L” and ends with “IE”.

Thanks for sharing this. This only confirms my suspicions.
The same rhetoric can probably be applied to the Obama campaign unfortunately. There is far too much money being made in Iraq to bring this fiasco to an end.
The same “rhetoric” can’t be applied to Obama. Obama was against the war before it was popular to be against the war. Obama wants to bring our troops and our money home.
Please don’t be so naive redeye. Obama will not be calling the shots in his administration. Do you think his main foreign policy advisor Bresinski is really a peace-lover? Hell no…
Can you tell I’m a cynic redeye? I guess after the democrats have spent 2 years of talking about leaving Iraq, I am a little bitter. A speech in Chicago in 2003 is great, but you have no ideas the pressures that he will face to stay in.
The “don’t have the votes” argument does not work when you have the power of filibuster. Ask Mike Gravel…
What pressures will Obama face to stay in? Who will be applying the pressure?
You think we the people rule Washington?
Like I said, if they wanted to end the war, it could be over with a filibuster.
