They need to tell him that they will drop the pullout demand as soon as he and his gang pullout of the white house!!!!!!!! Sounds like a good trade.
Peace
Seems to me his tone is changing a bit. Two weeks ago he wanted to ram it down Congress's throat; now it's..."Listen, I understand Republicans and Democrats in Washington have differences over the best course in Iraq, that's healthy. That's normal, and we should debate those differences. But our troops should not be caught in the middle.
Good idea on his part, for a change.

"Good idea on his part, for a change".
Yeah, but he talked a good game right after the midterms too. There will be no negotiation, compromise, nor yielding on his part. It's his way or here comes the veto. He's not sincere.
President Bush constantly(often to his own demise)tries to compromise with the democrats. His downfall from day one has been trying to keep everybody happy, instead of saying screw the dems, screw compromise, we've got this. He should stick to his guns on the firings of the atty's, he should stick to his guns on Iraq, and he should definately stick to his guns on this piece of crap, pork-filled spending bill!
Tell me what he hasn't got that he wanted over the past six years. Seems to me this is how it has been. We obviously have different viewoints though.
beacuse every time he gave a littleinstead of compromising the libs just came back yelling for more
you are out of your mind. absolutely blinded by your politics. if you believe any ounce of this "compromising with the democrats" crap you are incapable of independant assessment.
even a rudimentary glance at the history of the past 6 years shows this president has had absolutely no concern for compromise with democrats. not any. he, in his own words, proclaimed a 52 percent majority vote for his second term as "politcal capitol"" and took it as a mandate for his failed policy.
he sites the UN and international law when invading a country but never listens to that same goverfnming body when they tell him his invasion is illegal.
he belittles the democratic party and mischaracterizes them whenever he can.
he has included no democrats in his major cabinet roles, OR policy advisors. He has taken no Democratic advice on the war or any other major initiative. he's an intellectual midget who continues to ironically prove it by listening to noone but himself.

Uhmm the Iraq liberation act written by Dems and voted for by all Dems in the Senate and almost all Dems in Congress.
Can we really afford to take any more Democratic advice on the war or any other major initiative?
GREAT POINT! we've already killed 3300 american soldiers, lets stay and see if we can kill 3300 more!
AWESOME REBUTTAL, INJEST!
idiot.
This President really can start to take some advice, bad advice from the Democrates is better than the best advice this fellow has shown in the past 6 years. The main advice is to take that rubber stamp from him. Now Americans can enjoy the way democracy is supposed to be, messy compromise. Personally, I am opposed to leaving Iraq since I think this can be turned into a positive. But I am real, this President in 5 years have not shown a plan. War on Terror, surge -which is silly- and other undefined utter non-sense where there are no tactics, objectives or strategies to really acheive them. In case there is disagreement, come up with a tactic to defeat terror and tell it to the White House - it will be the first one they have had. If a simple minded term such as surge to solve this problem is the best America, or Iraq for that matter, has to look forward to as a plan then a debate on leaving is healthy. Let's keep surging until the military is worn down along with the treasury.
what republican, or for that matter democrat president has included the opposition in their cabinet. Try to get real and not impose unrealistic ideals on this government.
Actually it's not uncommon:
William Cohen is a Republican. (secretary of defense under Clinton, 1997-2001)
and clinton had a top counsel who was republican didn't he? i thought he intentionally did that so that he could have the oppositions voice in the room without having to sit down with them...

His open borders amnesty for illegal aliens
We were told the last time there was "amnesty" that it would never happen again. I didn't have many problems with Reagan, but I knew when the door was opened it would be a never-ending process.
And I don't see every Republican party member being for this program either. (any more than I see every Democrat against it).
As far as I know there is no such program anywhere else in the free world - I must admit I don't know if this is a fact. I only know it from country-to-country travel outside of the US. Within current proposals, you have to consider a-l-l illegal aliens in this country. Don't be duped into thinking we're just talking about migrant farm workers from Mexico through northern S.America, I would encourage you to think about that for a minute or two, and pay heed to the legislation and the restrictions involved before you put both feet on that bandwagon.
Then consider our service members in Iraq. Where do we need them most - in Iraq? I for one, think not.
ttnglang; Now THERE is so high comedy, and a complete falsehood. Bush is about as willing to compromise as Hitler was.
... and as willing to kill!!
Bush compromises? If you think so, I'd hate to be married to you, because you sound like 100 per cent me, and none of yours is your idea of compromise. Bush has always had in your face attitude towards the Democrats and never compromises.
tanglang - can you cite one specific instance where Bush has actually sought out a compromise with the Democrats - His philosophy has been since day one that it's his way - period!
