Those silly thugs. They don't understand the short attention span of the American. The cut and run idea is so pre-election. Now that the Dems have their little committee chairmanships, it's too boring to bother with. And besides, it's all good news now. Those poor stupid thugs. Never know what hit them.
I'm not so sure it's a message solely for Americans. These that call for an Islamic state will use this to convince the thugs that follow them, that any and every withdrawal of Americans from any and all areas was done because they ordered it, and Allah delivered.
Or, the Dems might decide to try and show how tough they are. Been done before. And they screw it up, cuz they don't know what they're doin'!
