17. If you think through it logically we aren't leaving.
Edited on Tue May-29-07 11:05 AM by newportdadde
If its a Republican controlled Congress and Republican Whitehouse we won't leave period.

If its a Republican controlled Congress and a Democratic Whitewhose we won't leave(fear of seeming weak).

If its a Democratic controlled Congress and a Republican whitehouse we won't leave as Republican President will veto any measure to leave, would need a veto proof majority or a majority willing to pull all funding and that will not happen(fear of seeming week).

If its a Democratic controlled Congress and a Democratic controlled Whitehouse we won't leave from fear of appearing weak, afraid of screwing up withdrawl and then 'owning' the whole mess.

Bottom line is there is just way to much fear to leave from a political perspective and way to much fucking money to make from a corporate perspective for us to ever leave.

Now if the corporations decide to leave then yes we will leave. For instance if they release the hounds(media) and change coverage they could begin pressure for a change.. similar to how they rah rah'd us to get us over there.
