I certainly hope this is not his remit. His job should be: kill the enemy.
Regards, Ivan

It will be first, a Peace treaty,(Signed By Liars on Both sides)
then a withdrawl,( then a Victory celebration that the Terrorists drove out the Great Satan.
then a Flood if Iranian millitants into Iraq.
and in 2-3 Years..the Iraq Govt will be overthrown,
and the Millitant Sharia Caliphate will take over,
and then the Democrats will Blame Bush and the Republicans.
They will say that because of Bush they couldn't get their "message" of Love and peace out to the mullahs.

Dear God. I pray that the Iraqis will be able to defend themselves if we abandon them. I pray for the success of the Iraqi democracy our troops and the Iraqi people have worked for hard for.

Peace lovers...they want Peace, Peace..at all costs. We can't kill the enemy for they are our friends!
They are also lifetime members of Barney the Dinosaur's Fan Club. /sarcasm/

When we pull out of Iraq and the Mooslims start setting off bombs here in the U.S., it will be BUSH that will be blamed and not the DemRats!

The 'insurgent' strategy worked very well, didn't it. 3-30 bodies per day translated into how many votes? Now, the men and women who have died will blow away like dust, as those from Nam did. I suppose the spitting and tomato throwing will start soon. (I would say sarcasm, but it's not)

The fear I have is if we leave Iraq without the strategic situation resolved in Iran, we are going to be in trouble.

Here is a quote from the leader of Hizbullah last week:
When I talk about an [American] failure, I'm not saying that the Americans' plan for the region has collapsed, and that they are packing up their things and leaving, like what happened in the final days in Vietnam. But I would like to tell you clearly... I am one of those people who see a very clear picture. In our childhood... When we were young boys... I cannot forget the sight of the American forces leaving Vietnam in helicopters, which carried their officers and soldiers. Some Vietnamese, who had fought alongside the Americans, tried to climb into these helicopters, but the [Americans] threw them to the ground, abandoned them, and left. This is the sight I anticipate in our region, but I am not saying it will happen in months. It will take years. The Americans will gather their belongings and leave this region - the entire region. They have no future whatsoever in our region. They will leave the Middle East, and the Arab and Islamic worlds, like they left Vietnam. I advise all those who place their trust in the Americans to learn the lesson of Vietnam, and to learn the lesson of the South Lebanese Army with the Israelis, and to know that when the Americans lose this war and lose it they will, Allah willing - they will abandon them to their fate, just like they did to all those who placed their trust in them throughout history.
