GETTING OUT OF IRAQ

My usually sensible friend, an ex-patriot sent me this.

"I don't trust any of the Democrats. The weak botch they made of doing something decisive about Iraq turned me off for the whole bunch."

I've heard it too often from people who just are not keeping even slightly in touch with the political facts of life. that wasn't weak that was smart.

giving the repubs a gift by cutting off all funds immediately would have been
weak and stupid and no more effective. The bill would never have made it through the
senate. As it is THEY are responsible for the delay and the many lives lost because of it.
