Maybe, but the debate has been engaged. You are also overlooking
something. The neo-con plan to have Iraq as a permanent base for
further
aggressions, is looking more, and more, unlikely. So sorry, but Syria
and
Iran are not on today's agenda.

No it's not. The scope and size of any withdrawal has never been
announced by anyone holding the authority to decide such things.



I see in the news today that the Iraqi army is being accused of abuses
which are reminiscent of Saddam's regime. If this continues, it could lead
to a parallel conflict which your president was too stupid to predict.

Any abuses by the current regime towards fellow Iraqis is irrelevant to the
ultimate plan of installing a US-friendly government that is willing to
allow US troops to establish bases around the perimeter of Iraq's borders.



That would make us even more unwelcome than before. The decision to leave
may not be a nice, neat one made in a conference room.

I don't think we'll ever leave.


I understand Lieberman had an article in the Wall Street Journal today. I don't
subscribe, but if you do I'd sure like to see the article.
