We're still there. Amnesty is something you decide when the fighting's stopped, and we're gone.

While we still have 150,000 soldiers on the ground, how dare they give people who could kill them tomorrow
and the next day the promise of amnesty.

It's like a free shot at killing any US soldiers that they want to in the future.

This isn't about the past. If we're ever gone, and Iraq is on it's own, then it's up to them to decide
what to do with the "insurgents".

While we're still there, for what possible purpose would our government give all Iraqi's a free licence
to kill American soldiers?

I know why. We want to book a win at any cost. The adminstration doesn't care about the soldiers, the Iraqi's
or anything except somehow being able to get out of there claiming victory.

The reason all you ever hear from Republicans is stay the course, is that doing what's right at this time leaves
their war a miserable failure.

As soon as they can figure out a way to spin our exit into a bold victory against terrorism, they will be out of there
as soon as they can before it changes.

Then cutting and running will be the prudent strategy.
