It's not as if we're just dawdling in the country and hoping for the best. After all, the Iraqis don't exactly want us to stay there forever. If there's a setback, I don't want to see a mandatory timetable put out there so that we end up leaving the Iraqis with their dick in the wind and Iran knocking on the door. If there is no progress in 2010, it might be a different matter but as it stands now, the country is slowly coming together. I see no need to forcibly enact a date for withdrawal. |
Yeah... I think it's insulting when people insinuate that Iraq WANTS us there like some Mom doting over her slacker kid.
They don't want us there. They need us there. It's a big difference.
When they do polls in iraq... they find that over half the population hates that the US is there... and an even higher percentage hates the thought that we would leave.
I get to be all self righteous about it too because I was against the war in the first place... and didn't think the congress would be stupid enough to do it.
