In a move to preempt the antiwar protesters converging on Washington this weekend, President Bush yesterday put forth the following equation: Withdrawing from Iraq equals letting the terrorists win equals more 9/11s. <snip>

But Bush may be in trouble here, because he's trying to marginalize a majority.

A recent Gallup Poll , for instance, found that 63 percent of Americans -- almost two out of three -- support the immediate partial or complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. Fewer than one in three Americans support Bush's handling of the war. <snip>

That theme: Staying doesn't make things better, it makes things worse.

1. Remember the 10 remaining Algerian Terrorists in Algeria had a discussion

in the desert one day. They decided that they were the only true muslims, the only true Algerians. And that everyone else in Algeria had to die for their sins. Except for the ten of them.
