Congratulations on finally having some sense to see what the price of
failure would be. It takes insanity or pure hatred to ignore the
realities of allowing Iraq to fall into the hands of Iran. Even the
Democratic leadership really know they can't pull the troops out or
they would cut funding. All their posturing is nothing more than
partisan politics designed to satisfy their loony base.

Don't get too congratulatory. We are only at this point because of Bush

going into Iraq in the first place and then by running the war
incompetently,
but I do agree at this point we need to make a real effort to win this
thing and bring stability to Iraq, I think the real screwup was Rummy,
hopefully Bush has better advisors now.
