#9  We should all be worried. Some in the Dem party wanted another Viet-nam. If this goes forward they will get it and the last five years of many of our lives will have been for nothing.

#8  Don't really matter to me. I don't live near a major metro area. But if I were one of you city dwelling fools I'd be worried.

Victory is the last thing the left wants.

#5  Let's look at history.
1.US pulls out of Lebenon after Marine Barracks bombing in early 80's.

2. Civil war ended tens years later after Syria controlled the country.

Things sure got better after we left!

we're in a very dark place right now. It has been a long time since America unambiguously won a war, and to choose to lose Iraq would be an act of such parochial self-indulgence that the American moment would not endure, and would not deserve to. Europe is becoming semi-Muslim, Third World basket-case states are going nuclear, and, for all that 40 percent of planetary military spending, America can't muster the will to take on pipsqueak enemies. We think we can just call off the game early, and go back home and watch TV.
It doesn't work like that. Whatever it started out as, Iraq is a test of American seriousness.

The US hasn't been serious about winning for quite a while.

#2  I hope this leads to phased withdrawal of Democrats from Congress.

#1  4 to 6 months? Heck, that's practically turning tail and running for the hills, which pretty much tells me that Dhimmicrats have no idea of what the hell theyr're talking about. This is not a plan - it's just surrender.
