The insurgents DO know when we will leave Iraq...

[Mich Otter]

and that is the problem.
They are absolutely sure of when we will be leaving.
The time is; when they have killed enough of our people that our politicians feel the pressure to pull out or face getting un-elected.
We pulled out of Lebanon when they killed enough Americans to make it happen.
They are resolved that they can, and will, do it again.

2. This So-Called Leader Forgets...

that most learned from the history of WWII, that peace leads to prosperity and wisdom never needs violence to attain that goal. Unfortunately there are those among us that are stuborn in their logic and need to feel the pain themselves before they actually get it. Like some children with a book of matches... warnings are only afterthoughts.
