Tell me what happens when we bail out of Iraq before we accomplish the goals of security and stability? While I agree the aftermath of removing that piece of shit Saddam was handled incompetently, removing his sorry ass was still the right thing to do.
Republicans AND Democrats voted to support the use of force even if now they whine that "Bush misled us". What? The so called dumbass Chimpie McBush misled you? Then how can you be competent enough to lead the country and the free world if such an unintelligent man misled you? Please...
Colin Powell was right, and Rummy was wrong. Ok, that is obvious. Rummy arrogantly ignored the Powell Doctrine of Overwhelming Force as well as The Pottery Barn Rule, "You break it, you bought it". Well, Rummy is gone and none too soon. We changed course, even if Dingy Harry Reid refuses to admit it. Do we give up now just because we royally screwed up at first with a flawed strategy?
Whether you agreed with invading Iraq to remove Saddam or not, the fact remains we did it and are morally obligated to not bail out on the Iraqi's and leave them to suffer and die, especially those who risked all to help us. They will be slaughtered and Iran will pick up the pieces and the world will point to us in blame, and rightfully so. Not a pleasant prospect.
Winning this thing by accomplishing our goals of security and political progress (both are slowly happening now) is the only acceptable outcome. Losing should not be an option on the table.
