Short memorable sound bites! I do credit Rove for this ability, but YOU don't have to fall for it!

There IS no good answer to Iraq! Should we pull out right away? Sure, I'd love to, BUT WE were the ones who made the damn mess in that Country! Hell, they only have electricity 4-6 hours a day, and the tems are in the 120 degrees+! Their water is contaminated, much of their infrastructure has been destroyed, they're able to pump their oil at less than 1/2 the rate than before we got there, and you still say...it's OK that we just leave?

I agree that we should respond differently to the "cut & run", but to demand that all Dems should be in lock step isnt the answer.

I was listening to Bernie Ward last night (KGO radio) and he was saying that Shrub was RIGHT when he said "mission accomplished". The war is OVER! What we have now is an occupation! The insurgency IS being caused by the people of Iraq wanting the occupiers OUT of their Country! They have a gov't now, their dictator has been removed, and THEY need to take control of THEIR Country! I think we should replace the word "war" with "occupation" in EVERY conversation and statement, and respond to the "cut & run" clip with maybe the Murtha clip of "stay & pay".

My suggestion is to take the amount of $$ that we are spending in Iraq for the next 6 months, give it to the head of the Iraqi gov't to rebuild their Country themselves, and then get out and let them handle it! Unfortunately, I think we DO have to pay for the mess OUR leaders made in that Country, but Iraq needs to take control now too!
