#1 The Democrats are working on Plan B. The first point under Plan B is - make sure Plan A doesn't work. The second point is to do nothing to risk being directly responsible for anything in Iraq (good or bad), lest their election issue be squandered. Third, remember Vietnam.

#3 Dubya > IMMOVABLE OBJECT, MOUD > IRRESISTABLE FORCE - when such entities collide there will be sparks and grunts. Dubya is in "Fortress ME" mode - his Admin has said that attacking Iran is NOT his intention, BUT-T-T US = US-Allied? forces will be staying in the ME for a long while to come, or at least for the remainder of Dubya's second term. BALL IS SQUARELY IN MOUD'S COURT > While Iran can play the "waiting game" until after 2008 elex, Iran also knows or is aware that over time "America in ME" will most likely get STRONGER = ENTRENCH ITSELF, NOT WEAKER OR TO WITHDRAW, and to be so at behest of regional Iran-fearing Muslim Govts-Nations. Moud also knows the BLAMELESS US DEMOLEFT WANTS TO STAY BLAMELESS, NOT BE LINKED OR SEEN AS THE CAUSE OF AMER FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. ITS NOT DUBYA'S "PLAN B" BUT MOUD'S THAT WAPO NEDS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. It is NOT to Radical Islam's advantage to fight US milfors directly but neither is it for them to see America stay beyond January 2009 or thereabouts. ALA FALL OF SAIGON in 1975, RADICAL ISLAM WILL NOT CONTROL/DOMINATE UNLESS USA PULLS OUT, OR THE US CONGRESS AS PER PC NATIONAL CHAOS REFUSES TO AUTHORIZE NEW MILITARY AID-SUPPORT FOR THE ME. Wid 9-11, 3000 dead Amers, and OBL's, etc. fatwas of war promoting the destruction of the USA, other than winning the WH in 2008 or anti-US Globalism-SWO THE DEM CONGRESS HAS NO JUSTIFICATION BEFORE MAINSTREAM AMER VOTERS TO UNILATER PULL OUT OF THE ME. Mainstream Amers may not agree wid all of Dubya's policies, but the majority do agree wid "over there, NOT over here". THERE IS NO REASON TO PULL OUT UNLESS TO JUSTIFY ANTI-US OWG vv AMERICAN DEFEAT/FAILURE, wid Defeat more potent for anti-US OWG-SWO than policy Failure. THE "STATUS QUO" IS NOT AN OPTION ANYMORE FOR AMER'S ENEMIES - WOT > besides WAR FOR THE WORLD, is also SUBSTITUTION OF NATIONS/POWERS, i.e. WEAK TAKE OVER FROM THE STRONG, THE INFERIOR FROM THE SUPERIOR. MOUD + Radical Islam must either give up, or ATTACK - ISRAEL believes Iran will choose to attack, NOT JUST REGIONALLY BUT AGAINST CONUS VIA NEW, WMD-CENTRIC, CASUALTY-INTENSIVE TERROR ATTACKS, i.e. AMER HIROSHIMAS. TIME FACTORS > RADICAL IRAN = USSR = THEY LOSE.
