They’re putting themselves in a box. President Bush can keep our troops in Iraq throughout the duration of his term then they can take the credit for defeat in retreat if they want.
The copperhead wing of the GOP disgusts me. Do they think, for a second, that we are going to support a "Republican" that considers his political carrier more important than the lives not only of our heroic troops but the lives of their constituents as well?
If we flee from Iraq it won't be long until the dying starts here in America. Americans do not want a bomb shelter future.
If they think people are "frustrated" with Iraq: Wait till there is a Beslan, a second 911, or an American Hiroshima. They will be more than frustrated then. And even the people who want to end the war now will remember who the lilly livered beltway cowards were.
