I know you're dying for us to get out. The problem is that while I didn't initially support this effort, now that we're there, the left is more a hindrance than a help. We need to clean up the mess we've made. I don't support removing our troops until Iraq has stabilized. To do so would invalidate the sacrifices our forces have already made and the suffering the Iraqi people have already experienced.

At this point, we have little choice but to finish the job or see it totally unravel into theocratic chaos.

And removing our troops would be incredibly selfish and short-sighted.
