Hey.. didn't Clinton commit troops to the Balkans? And is there an end in sight for their stay there?

No, there isn't. And it's a damn shame, too. Bush is still firmly attached to the idea of permanent bases in Iraq. We democrats, of course, do NOT want to keep our fighting men and women over there.

It does serve our interests to have a permanent base there.
Just as it served our interests to have them in Germany after WWII.
And Japan as well.
Strange how Dems don't recall how many casualties there were in the opening days of WWII.
We've had LESS casualties in this war in all it's length so far than in a comparable amount of time in any previous war.
Inconvenient for you guys.

Democrats would rather coddle terrorists, ignore them, and do nothing about them.
