Going in without a plan was a stupid, STUPID move that got a lot of good people killed.

The problem is, a half-assed withdrawal now, when things are starting to turn a corner, would be a disaster with repercussions for generations to come. The terrorists would be emboldened and start launching more attacks on us and Western Europe. We'd lose what little support we have in few moderate corners of the Muslim world. And we'd basically be saying to the families of the 4,000 Americans who died in Iraq that their sacrifice was for nothing.

I HATE Bush for getting us into this mess. And for not recognizing who's the real enemy in the muzzie world. But we're going to have to hold on a bit longer before we can get out. The alternative is unthinkable.
