No matter who much yer blogs repeat it, no matter how loudly Rush Limbaugh shouts it, no matter how many speeches Cheney has Bush make, it ain't happening.

If ever there were to be a peaceful ending to Iraq, EVER, it would have been when the country was initially subdued.

Now, it's a wide-open area, with not even the Green Zone safe.

Do you realize what the implications of even having a Green Zone are?

Now, for the PREDICTION.

When the US is driven out, when there are people who say that it's not cost-effective to stay, when Iraq is left to it's sectarian problems,

THE NEOCONS WILL SAY IT'S BECAUSE THE COWARDLY DEMOCRATS DECIDED TO CUT AND RUN.

That, despite GWB getting everything for which he asked, Iraq having 25 million people, the DoD being by far the largest in the world.

You will say it's because GWB was forced to leave by weak-willed, democracy-hating people in the US.

I'm out on a limb?
