It's al Qaeda, stupid!

Max Cleland tells Blitzer that we need to redeploy the troops...loudly and repeatedly.
"CLELAND: Well first of all, I'd like to remind the American people and the President that he cut and ran from Vietnam. So did his Vice President. I mean, they cut and ran from Osama Bin Laden. They're cutting and running from American veterans - they spend $8 billion a month in Iraq and underfund the VA by $6 billion a year according to the Congressional Budget Office.

This cut and run stuff is just bumper sticker stuff. It is not a plan to win, it is certainly not an exit strategy. So, we have 140,000 troops on the ground getting blown up and shot in a civil war, it's time to redeploy them, bring our Guard and Reserve home to guard our own borders and go after Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. It's still Al Qaeda, stupid. And that's what the President doesn't get."
