What makes you think the American public is going to support any Presidential candidate who supports the war in Iraq?

Damn near ALL of them when America wins in Iraq and the terrorists/insurgents are sent off to 'allah' where they belong.

You sound like you're assuming we're going to lose in Iraq, and that doesn't sound very optimistic Dave.

Do you remember Vietnam? Even after we had broken the back of the insurgents (wiped out VC at TET), we pulled out and then reneged on our promises to the South Vietnam government to provide arms and ammunition. Newly elected Dem congress following Watergate cut off funding to Vietnam and North Vietnamese regulars came down swiftly and took over the country. You dont see that about to happen? You have your eyes closed and your fingers and toes crossed. Besides, if this lastest surge doesnt provide real results by the end of the Summer, Bush is going to be looking for a way out.
