Carl Levin contradicts himself...
On Tim Russert's NBC program Meet the Press, Carl Levin said the following:
And without that political unity, they're not going to defeat the insurgents, and we're not contributing to that when we tell them that we're going to keep our troops there as long as they're needed, the way the secretary of state has said previously. We're there as long as we're needed, that message to the Iraqis is the wrong message. It should be, "Hey, folks, unless you get your political house in order, since it's so essential to defeating the insurgency, we have got to consider a departure timetable for our troops."
But then he went on to say:
It's a haven right now, according to the CIA, as reported in a number of newspapers. The CIA has said Iraq is now a haven for terrorists.
So, if Iraqis won't "get their political house in order", we should cut and run from a known terrorist haven?
