So, that's the only part of that post with which you could take issue. The rest, the withdrawal, the mess Cheney/bush has made, that's understood.

And, it makes sense to withdraw, not throw lives after those who have already died in vain.

Change the objectives. Without admitting a mistake, a big, big mistake, without eating the Mission Accomplished sign that even a True Believer like Karl Rove admits was a mistake!

Yep. We really weren't after WMD, we were after democracy. Well, not after democracy, but stability.

But they had stability, I say.

Well, you say, they had Saddam. And oil. And we want both of them. The hell with democracy, and we knew there were no WMD, but how could the UN prove a negative? Heh, heh, you say, so we invaded.

Do the Iraqis have $187 billion of democracy yet? And 764 American lives worth?
