We are "in this mess" because our true reason for being in Iraq was, and still is, politically impossible to admit.


We ~had to have~ a permanent military base in the middle east, and Iraq was the obvious choice. -- And we will stay in Iraq until the Middle East crisis is resolved, regardless of the 'party' in power in DC. -- Bet on it.
Right now the crats are making political hay by loudly opposing the Bush policies. -- If elected, their tune will change, some new 'crisis' will emerge and they will change their policy, and find that we must keep our bases in Iraq.. --- Nothing will change but the talking points on why we are there.

We are in the middle east to supposedly prevent a WWIII..
Lets hope the strategy works.

There will be no World War III this is Prophecy and it starts with iraq.....The Un is nothing more then Pagan worshiping nations praying for the destruction of America and the left will be part of that Prophecy.

It would be hard to imagine how you could be more wrong in believing the 'crats will fulfill the mission. sigh.
