I don't watch TV's talking heads, I don't watch TV news.

Today I missed something of note: Democrats say will push for Iraq withdrawal.

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.

Bush has insisted that U.S. troops would not leave until Iraqis were able to take over security for their country, and has repeatedly rejected setting a timetable for withdrawal because, he says, that would only embolden the insurgents.

The White House said, however, that Bush is open to new ideas. Bush will meet on Monday with the bipartisan Iraq Study Group that is expected to recommend alternative policies in its final report.

Read the article

I jokingly referred to McGovern's plan in an earlier post: A man with a plan. I hoped that it was in jest, anyway.

[edit] There are dozens of articles like the above. It's not one of my frequent hallucinations.

Here's the way this is gonna go down.

Looking towards 2008 Bush, et al, will cave in to the Democrats.

As we pull out of of Iraq the bad guys will sit on their hands, or be arming and training.

At some point Congress will reduce funding and support for the Iraqis.

In under 2 years we will be out of Iraq and it will collapse. Thousands will die or be re-integrated into 'proper' Muslim thinking.

It will be noted as a defeat for America.

Those who served will be considered losers, Kerry has already set the foundation... they're dumb hicks anyway.

I've heard this story somewhere before???
