Snide sarcasm does not erase the fact that Bush IS the reason for our current status in Iraq, and his unwillingness to change it will be his legacy.
In 2006, you'll see both democrats and republicans stepping over themselves to agree that the war in Iraq is futile and a new plan is needed. And do you want to place bets on how successful candidates will be if they say they want to keep troop levels the same, or increase them??? | Well, I think we both know that 2006 is over - so I'll assume you're talking about 2008.
And I agree. All politicians are clamoring to get on the "Get Out Of Iraq Now" boat, because it's the popular rage. Whether or not it's the RIGHT thing to do is up for grabs. For the record, I think Bush & his strategists went into Iraq believing they could - after ousting Saddam - put in place a sort of Marshall Plan II, and have Iraq well on the way to a thriving Democracy by now. Obviously, they were wrong - for many reasons.
