Reply #25: I realize taking such a stand requires courage but, goshdarnit,...

,...the majority of Americans believe Iraq was a mistake and they are increasingly losing faith in any successful end game.

IOW the risk of taking a stand on withdrawing our troops due to the very strong likelihood that there is a "no win" situation as long as we continue to occupy Iraq has dramatically diminished due to public opinion.

There simply is NO excuse to fail and exercise the courage necessary to unite on a common stand: we must withdraw because our presence almost guarantees a loss --- of life, of credibility, of "victory", of democracy, of national security.

AND, on edit, Joe Lieberman can kiss my ass!!! EW! I am so angry at him!!! :grr:
