#1 NO surprise here, but Amers should remember that AQ, etal is down but not out. In the absence of a de facto US-Iran conflict before 2008, US should expect a ST "lull/slow period" or so for AQ + Radical islam to unilater rebuild and re-arm, then attack again. Odds will favor AQ, etc iff no demo "regime change" of any sort occurs inside Iran, and Radical Iran stays Radical Iran for a long while yet.

#2 In meantime, US troops deserve a break whenever they can get it, so I agree wid Dubya to try and bring some units home while he can - good for the troops and good for national morale and Ratings. NO "REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN > troops will be back soon enuff to face the Spetzlamies.

#3 And this is different from Korea, where we still have troops 50 years later in a 'support role'. So, how about it, where's your withdraw plan for Korea, Donks? Or are you uncertain that some of that Hsu ~~political drug~~ money isn't coming from there? Don't want to dry up the money flow too quick.

Here's an idea for the Iraqi government. Listening Baghdad? You need to redirect some of the oil money ~~or cook the books on the aid money~~ to lobbyists and start contributing big sums of dinero into the Donks' campaign funds. That's the ticket. You out spend the Moveon types and you'll be in for a major surprise on how quickly the ~~pimps~~ pols can 'reassess' the situation. It's ugly, but true.
