The Dems keep saying they will end the war by leaving Iraq.

Retreating from the battlefield won’t end the war. It will worsen it!

If Petraeus reports good things are happening and thinks it is winnable, the Rats are going to slip and call him a liar or use words to that effect. The country`s reaction will make the 4th of July look dull.

It takes both sides to make peace, only one to start (or continue) a war. The arrogance of the west in thinking we can just unilaterally declare a war against a fanatic foe over is staggering.

Just about everyone admits that it was Clinton's premature pullout of Somalia that emboldened AQ into pulling 911. Pulling out of Iraq before the job is done will provoke and orgy of terrorism against the US, Europe, and Israel. It will also cause the situation in Afghanistan to spiral out of control very quickly as terrorist attentions shift there.

If we pull out it will be the biggest foreign policy mistake we have ever made. That will be obvious in very short order.

That’s why I think we are getting to the end of this Kabuki theater. If a withdrawal occurs Democrats would oversee a disaster of 250,000 plus dead in a civil war with Al Queda taking over the Iraq oil fields.

That just isn’t going to happen, even if Cindy Sheehan were president, because the consequences are huge.

So, in short, we won’t be leaving Iraq anytime soon. Almost time to call the Democrats bluff.

How can they do that? The Dems leading candidate has said she’d leave what? 70,000 troops in Iraq?...It would cost more to leave now, and come back if Hillary’s president...

Dems painted themselves into a corner on the anti-Bush/Iraq war thing?
