Best not to have this country voting, even if the outcome is overwhelmingly AGAINST, pulling OUT of Iraq. Best to have them voting positively. Just better PR. The spin would be something like, "already the American congress is taking votes to pull out of Iraq."

Forces Dems to make ugly, non supportive, anti-American statements on record.
