Bush hits a new low

Dana - I tried to be very careful and not promote the extreme right either - I am for getting whatever need be done over there done so we can get the hell out. We cannot just walk away, that is obvious to all - I hope. Its just the motivation behind the democratic party seems to be simply to gain power at too great an expense to our country. Does anyoneone have any ideas other than simply "stay the course" or "leave tomorrow?"

The Democrats do--it's called the timetable for troop withdrawal. I believe the latest date they want to set now is Fall 2008, which is not exactly "leave tomorrow."

First, the reasons for leaving are very different for each person. Yes, leaving would be devastating for Iraq but that is not the question, we already know that. The question is, can we stop the civil war and genocide even if we stayed? Most Democrats will say no and most Republicans will say yes.

I have a very hard time believing that we can help Iraq at all unless we use martial law, and we missed our chance at that already. So, in my opinion, the best thing we can do is pull out and hope for the best, we are doing nothing except prolonging the killings and creating more hate by staying there.

I believe Joe Biden of the Democratic party and one other Republican (can't think of the name) have an idea for splitting up Iraq into 3 countries but I don't see any support for that from either side.
