Here is what I would do as president. I would get on television Monday night both nation wide and in Iraq. I would lay down this ultimatum. I would tell the people of Iraq that we have given them the opportunity to live their lives as a free people. They are now at the hour of decision. They can rise up as one voice and tell the insurgents that they will not be cowed into submission again OR we will take whatever measures required to insure that this country will remain in the 6th century it obviously wishes to maintain

This is the time to fish or cut bait. We accomplished the original misson which was to get rid of Saddam Hussein and his spawn. The reconstruction was just gravy for the Iraqi people. We withdraw to the north and partition the country to allow the Kurds to build an autonomous nation and then we will make sure that the rest of Iraq is in no position to do anything other than kill each other. If the Iraqis both Sunni and Shia are not willing to come into the light then let them die in the dark.

Tonight there was a very touchiing story about a kid named Omar who delivered meals and tonic drinks to our troops on the outskrirts of Fallujah.

Well this poor kid was killed by the "terrorists" this week.

It was a touching and moving strory. And yet we don't think there are dozens of such stories of youngsters being killed in support of "them"?
