If they succeed in this it will be good news for the GOP. Unfortunately it will most likely mean a civil war (in Iraq probably not here), and the terrorists that are currently going to Iraq may end up here. If they succeed and none of our doom and gloom predictions pan out or the media ignores the bloodbath (very likely), then at least the War in Iraq is off the table for the 2008 campaign.
A civil war in Iraq and our simultaneous retreat will mean an Iraq dominated by Iran followed by the Persian Gulf. Say hello to $10.00 gasoline. Thus, the consequences of defeat and retreat in Iraq will definately be part of the '08 election and the media will blame it all on Bush, hence, Her Thighness wins.
