I couldn't disagree more. The President does what is right for the interests of the nation, not what is the most popular choice.

The President is elected by popular opinion, does that mean he should ignore it after he's in office?

Whether the nation is tired of it or not, withdrawing from IRaq is a horrible move for our future, just as leaving Saddam in power would have been.

Saddam was happy running his country and yes, he may have hated us but he also hated Iran. Saddam was a thorn in Irans side which is something we could benefit from right about now. We kicked Saddams butt and found no weapons that posed any threat to us

I hate to see Osama Bin Laden be correct when he said the US is too fat and lazy to defend ourselves.

Osama isn't stupid... he wants us to keep sending money and troops over there. They aren't afraid to die or blow themselves up... If there is a steady stream of American forces heading over for them to attack they will be happy. We will not win the WOT militarily. This is not a conventional war.

No true leader allows popular opinion to rock the core principles that got him elected in the first place. That is why he has a four year term.

Have you noticed what three dollar a gallon gas does to our economy. He was a threat to every oil producer in the gulf. That doesn't even count his support of terrorists throughout the world. He had to be taken out.

If we weren't killing the Al Queda recruits in Iraq with the best trained military in the world, where would we be fighting them? Do you think their recruiting would stop because we left Iraq?

Planes into buildings with a stateless enemy is not conventional either. So what are you saying, sit on our asses and get hit... then do nothing?

Oh... you want us to TALK to them. People who strap bombs on their children. You need to wake up... fast. What good did sitting through the nineties while bombing after bombing occured do... win their respect, or get a message from OBL that we’re a paper tiger and they would attack more?
