I have to disagree.

For us to pull out now (hopefully things will be much better by the Nov election), the terrorists would have another victory. Our future battles would be on American soil, in the homeland, in the heartland.

Remember, Somalia and Clinton's cut-and-run emboldened bin Laden and led greatly to 9-11-01.

Another cut and run would bring more atrocities on America.

What we do need to do is finish the war in Iraq before doing the diplomatic dipsy-doodle. We didn't finish the war; the Iraqi forces went into hiding in the civilian population.

If, after we hand over governmental control, we will see whether the Iraqi Council can maintain any order and control. If they can't, then we need to reevaluate our position.

If the Constitution Party or Libertarians or any other party was serious about party building and not just indulging their personal egos, they would not be running people for President. Campaigns for national office cost money. A lot of money. Even if you don't (can't) advertise.

If you want to party build, you start at the bottom and grow. If you don't have people who served at the local level or state legislature, how will they have experience in legislation that qualify them for Congress? How could they staff congressional staff posts if they don't have a party infrastructure to draw from? If they haven't served in senior legislative or mayoral posts, how could they be qualified to be governor and if they haven't served in such posts or have party members who have, how would they staff the governor appointed positions within the state administration?

These guys are not serious about party building. They are just indulging their own egos and taking a vacation from their jobs at the expense of what few donors are foolish enough to send them money.
