SOLUTION TO THE DEMOCRAT PULLOUT PLAN FORCING BUSH'S VETO
WHO: 2008 GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN COX
WHAT: IS CONDUCTING A NEWS CONFERENCE
WHERE: AT THE WASHINGTON PRESS CLUB
529 14th Street NW
Washington, DC 20045
WHEN: WED. APRIL 25, 1:00 PM ET
WHY: To present a common sense solution to the Democrat demand for us to pullout of Iraq and the likely Bush veto. Instead of a call for a pullout by October 1, Cox proposes a timetable for Iraqis to pump oil to 100% capacity by October 1. With those windfall profits, Iraq can pay for their own infrastructure and reconstruction.
Said Cox, "Democrats are wrong to claim defeat. The President is wrong for simply asking U.S. Citizens to dig deeper into their pockets. The solution is for the Iraqis to dig deeper into their oil reserves. That alone would boost their economy and decrease unemployment, thus greatly reducing the likelihood of an unproductive, disgruntled populous rallying behind the extremists."
