Reply #9: I'm sorry --stupid question?

who are "THE terrorists" you're referring to? The Shiite militias? the Sunni and Ba'ath militias? the jihadis & foreign fighters (of whom we are by far the most numerous)? the Kurdish separatist militias?....please provide a little definition. Because it's so vague in its signifiers, this poll seems to ask nothing more searching thatn "Do you like bad people. Y/N? "

"THE terrorists" it seems to me is just a catchall phrase used by the Bush Administration to disparage whomever they don't like on a given day. Or everyone who opposes their plan to occupy Iraq for the next couple of decades.

And NO, I don't worry about leaving Iraq to the terrorists because whatever is going to happen there is going to happen whether we leave by July 4, 2006 or Jan 1, 2012. We've stirred up the hornet's nest over there and the only question is how bad will it be--financially, politically, strategically-- and how long our KIA list will have grown when we finally decide we need to get the fuck out of there.
