Did Cheney Know Of Casey's Redeployment Plan When He Said Democrats' Redeployment Plan Was "Worst Possible Thing?"

If one more draft dodger has one more thing to say about Americans not having the stomach for a fight, I think I am going to scream.

Having said that, did anyone bother to tell Dead-eye that those generals the preznit is always "listening to" plan on drawing down troops? Maybe as early as September?

Are these generals cutting and running?
Just wondering.....

JABBS: Did Cheney Know Of Casey's Redeployment Plan When He Said Democrats' Redeployment Plan Was "Worst Possible Thing?":

"Vice President Dick Cheney, in a Thursday interview, told CNN's John King that the Democrats' plans for troop redeployment were 'the worst possible thing we could do.'

'No matter how you carve it -- you can call it anything you want -- but basically, it is packing it in, going home, persuading and convincing and validating the theory that the Americans don't have the stomach for this fight,' Cheney said.

At about the same time, Senate Republicans -- following the administration's wishes -- led an effort to kill a proposal by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Jack Reed (D-RI) that would have required a redeployment to begin by the end of the year but not set a timetable for a complete withdrawal. (Note: A second proposal calling for a near-complete withdrawal by next year, from Sens. John Kerry (D-MA) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) was overwhelmingly defeated.)

A clear statement by the Bush Administration, right?

But, as we now know, the top American commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, has also drafted a plan to reduce U.S. troops in Iraq, with the first cuts perhaps coming by September, and much deeper cuts coming in 2007."
