And, any conflict then would be far, far worse than the so called quagmire now.
I don't disagree that our leaving Iraq would make the conflict worse. We know it would be civil war and the Demonrats know it would be civil war. They started making noise about 3 months ago that if they won the House and Senate that they would not do an immediate pull out of our troops. But, if they start pulling our troops anytime soon and there is a resultant mess, they will be blamed and they know it. What I see now is a lot of Democrats losing their seats in 08 irregardless of what they do about Iraq. If they do nothing they lose, if they proceed and the end result is a bloody mess and it will be they lose.
