re: The two next presidential contenders

Raoul — 10/22/2006 3:21:41 PM (archived)

If the two next presidential contenders had either not voted for the war or voted for it thinking Bush was right about WMDs (and therefore was mistaken), then they're going to be faced with something they never woudl have wanted in the first place.

It would be unfair to force the next president to deal with deaths in Iraq.

Both contenders should then agree on this: once they're named by their respective party, they demand president Bush to either withdraw from Iraq before january 21 2009, or expect to be faced with a trial for war crimes.
