I would say that 100% of Americans want this war over, me included. The question is when and how to get to that conclusion. I don’t think 60% of the people agree on that.

This isn’t a 30 minute sitcom.

This war will not end if every American soldier left Iraq today.

If William F. Buckley wants to prove Osama Bin Laden right by espousing liberal Democrat anti-war talking points, he can do so, but don’t expect conservatives to not call him out on this.

If he wants to argue that because the legislature is against the war, that therefore this is the will of the people, then he is making a weak argument for endorsing al Qaeda’s resolution for Iraq.

The legislature has a litany of awful things it wants to become law that fly in the face of public support yet he uses that as a pillar of his argument.

He is wrong.

60% of the American people couldn’t locate Iraq on a world map.

No guts, no glory.

It is not a matter of when our part in the war ends, it is a matter of Victory.

One thing I will point out, I agree with Tenet that "al Qaeda is here and waiting" ... So, I am not ready to roll over and show them my belly.

Thank GOD for our U.S. Armed Forces, the best troops in the world. We are truly blessed.

You said — “I would say that 100% of Americans want this war over, me included. The question is when and how to get to that conclusion. I don’t think 60% of the people agree on that.”

Well, then let’s say that the troops will be involved in fighting these things (that they are now) for the next 10 years, plus the fact that we’ll have bases and troops in there for the next 30 years.

I think that’s more realistic. And so, if that’s what we’re looking at (and it’s very reasonable to say that (given the state of affairs with the Iraqis being able to manage things themselves, with the legislature, with the infracstructure, with the Iraqi army, with the Iraqi police force, with Iran exporting terrorists into Iraq, with Al Qaida sending in terrorists) — if that is the situation — then are people going to want to stay another ten years and bases for another 30 or so?

I don’t think so. Therefore — if — this is what it’s going to be perceived as needing, people are going to say — “To hell with it; let’s get outta there!”

I think this is what people are perceiving now, that the committment and time frame is just too long for what they want....

I think most people want it to end and us out of Iraq, but not before we complete the work that was started there, and not before Iraq can stand on it's own feet.
That is were the MSM manipulates ( and get their sound bites ) what most Americans think and repeat it to the Sheeple to believe in surrender.
The MSN only wants run with ( out of Iraq ) but, not quote that we want out of Iraq with a victory and the job done there.
