THANK YOU DUH !!!!!

You have just shown exactly what the DEMOCRATS have been saying. WITHDRAW OUR TROOPS!!!.

Why you think this is some great accomplishment when the British do it, but a failure if the US does it is beyond me...

Maybe the SUCCESS IN WITHDRAWL will change your mind.

Violence has dropped by 90% in Basra once the British started withdrawing!

Get that Duh... When the occupying forces withdraw, the violence drops. This is exactly what many who have argued for withdrawl has said. The occupation forces are DESTABILIZING... If you withdraw and actually turn Iraq over to Iraqis, then that is success and the "new way forward".

This "new way forward" that Bush is touting, i.e. the surge, does not give Iraq back to the Iraqis, and does nothing to promote long term stability.
