i think that s the point he s trying to make and many people, frankly, in the administration are trying to make. at the same time, i think a significant fact this week was john kerry who came back and chaired a hearing on foreign relations but gang speaking out. he was on our show saying they re going to have to accelerate that withdrawal which is now projected to be 2014. i think congress is losing patience and perhaps giving political cover now to the president as they look for an exit strategy. our troops need to start coming hole. mike barnicle, i ve been tired of vietnam analogies over the past three decades. but i m sorry if the analogy fits, then apply it. and it s certainly looking more and more every day like it fits in afghanistan. joe, from november of 1963 when they were assassinated in saigon, from our withdrawal from vietnam, there were multiple
options, whether his pentagon chief is on the same page as other officials in the administration. we ll also explore gadhafi s options if he loses power. does the libyan leader have an exit strategy for himself? and newt gingrich s first step quarter presidential bid. it could tell us a lot of his chances of winning. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 tdd# 1-800-345-2550 if anything, it was a little too much. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 but the moment they had my money? nothing. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 no phone calls, no feedback, tdd# 1-800-345-2550 no here s how your money s doing. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 i mean what about a little sign that you re still interested? tdd# 1-800-345-2550 come on, surprise me! tdd# 1-800-345-2550 [ male announcer ] a go-to person to help you get started. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 regular detailed analysis of your portfolio. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 for a whole lot of extras at no extra charge, tdd# 1-800-345-2550 talk to chuck. tdd# 1-800-345-2550
pressure, in fact the democratic national committee met the other day and they adopted a resolution urging the president to have a, quote, substantial troop withdrawal beginning this summer. so if there s not real progress towards solving this war, towards getting our troops out and working out some type of agreement where we have some sort of honorable effort where the sacrifice of our troops is not in vain, where we can help with a new political arrangement. we haven t mentioned the fact that we need to continue to provide economic assistance and social development assistance for the people of afghanistan, especially the women to help improve health care, and the rights of women and the like, we can do those sorts of things without having to be involve in a large counter insurgency war. the president needs to deliver a serious realignment of the strategy develop an exit strategy. a grim situation that keeps lingering on and on in ways i
