11. Wow, talk about naive thinking
We cannot "cut and run" we must "finish the job" - where have I heard this before?

Why make excuses for supporting the war? Just say it and stop trying to gloss over it with feel-good rhetoric.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-04-28-gall...

Should US/British forces leave immediately (next few months) or stay longer?

Total Baghdad Shi’ite areas Sunni areas Kurdish areas
Immediately 57 75 61 65 3
Stay longer 36 21 30 27 96

Maybe just move all our troops to Kurdistan and let Iraqis have their own country?
