#1  PRAY for Iraq.

At the rate things are going over there, the only hope for that country rests upon divine intervention.

Anyone else think Paul Bremer screwed this thing up beyond all recognition?

Anyone think we should have stayed longer and done more to help the country transition?

Actually, I think the Dems wanted out so they could look at Iraq go down the tubes and say "yep George should have never gone in, look at the mess they are in now"

Of course they did the same thing in Viet Nam so where is the surprise. They do have such a limited selection in their play book.
