Just so it's clear, I'm not saying it was right to go in. But we're there now and need to stay as long as it takes to clean up the mess....provided Iraq makes progress to be self sustaining.

Are we really? McCain has said we'll be there 100 years. (But he didn't say in what form we'll be there.)

>It is BS because Iraq is not the War on terror. Barack and Hillary do not support retreat and defeat. Regardless of who is elected we are leaving Iraq. A draft would not fly so it is the only option left. No one is talking about tomorrow. Everyone is taking about cleaning up as much of Bush's mess as possible. It is BS.
