#1 Given the fickle and bungling handling of the situation by both American and Iraqi 'leadership', I'd say a lot of Americans now feel the same way. One does not toss aside the sacrifice and resources of those who had to do the dirty work only to abandon it all like a bad cheap lottery ticket and not feel betrayal.

#2 Ditto P2k. The continuing liberal mantra that there 'was no WND' in Iraq is utter and complete bullshi*.

#4 The sad thing is the world believes Iraq had no WMD because the press has been repeating that over and over to make W look bad.

Then you have Libya that turned over their WMD stockpile after Saddam was pulled out of the Spider hole, which is what we wanted, but he was bombed out of power.

So the lesson the world got was if you get WMD you are safe.
