Me too. And he's WAY too close to where I am for my comfort.
Thank goodness we're surrounded by lots of very capable U.S. troops.
And thank goodness Murtha's not calling the shots. Can you imagine what would be happening now if we had cut and run when he first wanted to do that?
If it breaks wide open -- and I'm still thinking/praying it'll be over in a couple of weeks -- y'all would seem to be convenient targets for AhmADinnerJacket, who'll try everything he can think of to get the non-shiite Arab states on his side...
OTOH, their lack of support for him and his proxies in this conflict may put him off for a while, although I think his main goal right now is to have attention deflected from his nuke program to give him some time -- something he's pulled that off pretty well...
