You do realize that most Americans want the troops to come home, right? How will Romney or McCain win over the independents?

Americans want to WIN this war and THEN bring the troops home. Surrendering when the war is 95% won is not a winning strategy. If Americans wanted a surrender monkey, they had ample opportunity to vote for one in 2004.

MOST AMERICANS didn't then, and they won't now, no matter how much real estate RiP vandingleberry covers with his signs.

Wrong - they realize that the war should have been won within the six years we've been in there.

Yeah, and they almost did too. Remember that if it wasn't for Ohio and the evangelicals, Bush would have lost. That says a lot about the independent vote although obviously re-electing Bush and fighting the war was a no-brainer to me. But staying there for a 100 years like McCain suggested is equally suicidal. You are not going to kill every last terrorist over there regardless how long we stay there. You are misreading the electorate. People want the war to wind down which is why Democrat primary voters are beating GOP voters more than 2-to-1, and why Clinton and Obama both raised $100 million last year.

We have won the war and now it is time to bring our troops home.

The Iraqi's are quite capable of handling their internal terrorist problem without U.S. troops.
