Which is exactly why they’re not doing it. And it’s exactly why they’re NOT sticking to their guns and ending the Iraq war. The war is their biggest weapon for ‘08! Why would they want to throw that away?
They are idiots, then. All Bush has to do is present a smart withdrawal plan in Summer 2008 that starts to bring home about 60% of the troops and withdraws the rest to a few bases in Iraq. Then they have lost their weapon.
