There is nothing left to do and the Iraqis want their country back. Get the heck out.

1. We're sticking around for those permanent bases and the 100+ acre embassy
...that are all being built to protect our investment: control of Iraqi oil. But you knew that. Too bad more people don't get it and get mad about it.

4. Well it makes me mad that the DC Dems are afraid of cut and run
The GOP is trying to make it a bad thing and DC Dems are allowing them to get away with it. If that is the label which is getting stuck to us, the only way to defeat it is embrace the term. Use it.

Lets get the heck out and let Iraq take care of it. Bushy has already said it is up to Iraqis, well then let them at it.

2. You watch, as the weeks go by and it gets worse
you won't be hearing about "cut and run" anymore. They haven't addressed the future cost in dollars of all this bravado yet, but it's the next bad news headed their way.

3. pride
that's why many still support this murderous stupidity, because we'd rather have a lot of people dead than admit we were wrong.

how sick is that?

6. It hurts the pride more to be labelled cowards
Right now cut and run means coward and the GOP has firmly attached that label to the Dems. Since we have the label, use it by changing the meaning to be "get the heck out and give Iraqis their country back".
