#3 Click the attached link (given Moderator approval) and you can read the most articulate statement of the Iraq-pullout position that I have read. The author was a former staffer for Z Brzezinski, thus should be treated as a Dem military pundit. My views are 180 degrees opposite to what is posted, with the exception that I would work against terrorists even where they have a political wing. I don't believe in the "Democratic Domino" theory. I chose not to post the article because it should be Fisked by someone with military experience. However, it illustrates what stay-the-course and hardliners (myself) must argue against. Does anyone want to Fisk this?:

Middle East presence
Do Americans stabilize region or not?

Recently on national television, Vice President Cheney warned that withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq would prompt the collapse of governments in other countries in the region, namely Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, putting them in the hands of radical Islamist rulers.
Cheney has it exactly backwards. Our continued entanglement is what is destabilizing the region...
----------------------
Reminder: as of last Monday, the President's declared enemy is "Islamofascism."
