That'll look great on a Hummer bumper.

I agree with this assessment. I was also encouraged that the Iraq Study Group was clear about the consequences of a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq. The group declared that such a withdrawal would "almost certainly produce greater sectarian violence" and lead to "a significant power vacuum, greater human suffering, regional destabilization, and a threat to the global economy." The report went on to say, "If we leave and Iraq descends into chaos, the long-range consequences could eventually require the United States to return."

This is a great little mantra, like the one that says if we don't fight them over there, etc.

1. Yeah we will have to go back because you know like

they have the oil. Too bad our leaders can't be square with the people and tell them that they have decided to invest in global war over oil resources instead of investing in developing a sustainable energy infrastructure. Too bad we the people don't get to decide which course we should follow.

2. Yeah, looke how we went back to Viet Nam: to make a trade agreement.
