John Warner, Punk

Hosers

I just listened to Sen. Warner answer the question "Why did you call for 5000 troops to be withdrawn from Iraq by Christmas?," something like this. “ Well, I said that as an old trooper myself who served in Korea with the Marines when the cry was 'the troops will be home by Christmas.' ” Those are the words of a douchbag to begin with, but according to Jim Quinn, this is what really happened (paraphrased). Last week Bush invited a group of Republicans, Warner among them, to the White House.  He shared plans for executing the Iraq war in the coming months, one of which was to bring 5000 troops home by Christmas.  These would be soldiers deployed 2-3 times, in areas that are now so safe that they aren't needed.  Warner walked out of that meeting, went straight to a microphone, and told the media that he was demanding that Bush withdraw 5000 troops by Christmas.  Of a sudden it appears that Virginia's U.S. Senate delegation is no better than Maryland's.  Worse, actually.  Maryland knowingly sends self proclaimed 50's era commies to the upper house, while Virginia is represented by poseurs and opportunists who say whatever they think will get them elected (or re-elected?) at any given moment.
