The sad-assed rejoinders of many Busheviks when you advocate extricating ourselves from the Iraq fiasco is, "The Democrats don't have any plan. They just complain."

Well, Good 'Ol George McGovern and foreign policy specialist William R. Polk should talk to those losers, because they have a plan for leaving Iraq with dignity and compassion for the Iraqi people whose lives we have turned into a nightmare.

Not only is it a plan: it's detailed and a damn good one.

It's subtitled "A Practical Plan for Withdrawal," and fulfills that expectation when you read it.

"Practical" isn't a word in the vocabulary of the Bush fantasists.

But McGovern and Polk make such a persuasive, well-thought out argument, anyone but the Busheviks would be hard put to resist their strategy.

Of course, it relies on a cognitive process that actually analyzes the situation on the ground and our foreign and domestic policy needs -- so that already puts it outside the grasp of the White House crowd.

How ironic that McGovern -- the thoughtful anti-Vietnam war Senator and presidential candidate -- should return to offer a graceful exit from Iraq.

We owe him and William Polk a debt of gratitude.

Now when any suicidal, Bush Kool-Aid drinking Republican makes the charge that the Dems have no plan, give them this book.
