What I am saying is that the plan put forth by prominent Democrats to simply pack up and leave by a specified date and time is cutting and running and telegraphing to our enemies that they need to simply lie low until that date before continuing their havoc.

When a free and democratic Iraq cans tand up to internal and external threats from terrorists and thier supporters (Iran, Syria) by using a military and police force of their own then w ecan move out of Iraq. But leaving before Iraq can take care of themselves will only turn the place into another haven for terrorists which another war will need to be fought over. I, for one, am sick of fighting in Iraq. So lets get the job done so we can leave and not have to come back.
