You said the other day that we will "always" have military in Iraq? Why
did President Bush, just last night, say that we will not stay one day
longer than necessary?

Sounds to me like he's setting the stage for a 'declare victory and go
home' scenario.

Well, I agree with that. Thanks to GWB, we have broken Iraq. It is now

Agreed, but how? Right now, there is darn little progress being made on
"rebuilding" Iraq... our military was ordered to blow up electric &
water plants, so that US contractors could make a fat profit rebuilding
them... but now the contractors are spending 99% of their money on
security, and 99% of their time hunkered down waiting. We haven't even
restored basic services to all of Baghdad.
