Horrible idea. Rumsfeld's doing a great job. Can no one else see that what we are doing in Iraq is the best thing we could possibly be doing right now? I think a continued low-grade fight against the terrorists over there is *exactly* what we need to protect ourselves against attacks. All the terrorists go to Iraq to fight our soldiers. Pull our soldiers from Iraq - or even get too successful in Iraq - and they stop going there to fight our soldiers and start coming *here* to fight our women and children. We have to maintain our presence there, and we have to give the thugs the idea that they can go to Iraq and actually hurt us. If we look invincible over there, or if we leave, they'll head for the more vulnerable places - namely, the mainland US.
BS... turn the place into glass and stop pussy footing around.
Interesting, good points.
When that Saddam statue came tumbling down, you can bet the leaders of surrounding terrorist regimes were taking note. If we can do it to Iran, we can do it to them. Imagine the improvements in what the State Dept has been able to get in cooperation from some of those miscreants, because they finally know we mean business. The entire balance of power has shifted in the middle east, in our favor, but there is no MSM news that makes that clearly understandable to the average American.
