I disagree with you.
Your solution of "just let Iraq/9/11thingy go" still leaves all those the CommiCrats brainwashed believing all the lies about the President and VP inventing the story so as to go to war for oil.
The CommiCrats repeatd the lies till 1/2 the nation believed them so maybe if we keep throwing the truth at them we can convert them and show the CommiCrats up for what they are and save the country from being taken over completely by the Communists.

That's a serious and valid concern and and you've got a good argument. However, I stick by my position of defocussing on the link between Saddam and Al Quaida on grounds that are both cynical and practical.
The cynic in me says the brainwashed masses are not likely to listen to any argument. Even the rational Democrats who believe the President simply made some errors with no ill intent are staying silent on that point because they know it is to their political advantage to let the loonies have free reign.
The pragmatist in me says that nothing succeeds like success. Remember the quote "It's the economy stupid." Well the economy is OK so it's not the economy but the war. We need to win the war.
I believe that focusing on the reality that we are commited there now, that the consequences of leaving early are massive, the humanitarian good that we have done, what a bad guy Saddam was and our plan to leave Iraq with a stable friendly democracy is the way to get the support we need to finish the job. When we win the war many of these other concerns will evaporate so I think we need to focus on how best to do that.
But I respect your concerns and if I thought we had a reasonable chance of changing minds then I'd agree with your strategy.
