Kerry want to withdraw before we come completely flaccid in our abilities. He wants to invite other countries to enter Iraq, to help spread the seeds of Democracy.

Either way we and Iraq are pretty well fucked.

Well Duh

Bush: Terrorists May Plan More Attacks

By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Standing beside Iraq's interim leader, President Bush contended Thursday that insurgents could "plot and plan attacks elsewhere, in America and other free nations," if the United States pulled out. He said his top commander there has not asked for more troops but if he did, "I'd listen to him."

Memo to Bush - it doesn't matter if the U.S. pulls out early or later. Insurgents and terrorists will still plan their attacks against whomever they feel like attacking. That you're trying to make it appear that you are the only effective option against terrorism is nauseating considering that you've been the only option so far and so far you've been ineffective.

Cute, transparent, and aggravating the way you set it up so that if your top commander "asks" for more troops you can institute a draft and say that it was needed and called for while lamenting at its necessity.
