Besides myself I have seen several polls and more and more people are wanting to get out. You may be right about the long term but there won’t be any kinda term but instant humiliation and defeat for USA and Republicans if a Dem wins in 08 and withdraws. It’ll be blamed on Bush & Republicans for decades. At least this way Bush can claim some kind of victory for peace and democracy up north and redeploy a decent amount of troops up with the Kurds. I want to win as bad as the next guy but these Iraqis need to do something for themselves, for crying out loud the Kurds did (frustration at them, not you). It’s just like Africa, you can send all the aid there you want but until they do it themselves it’s gonna be a mess.
You grossly misunderstand the situation. The war is not about Iraq or saving face or the kurds.
You sound pretty trollish to me.
