re: "the Bush argument vis a vis Iraq is not taking hold right now."

It will the moment a Democrat gets elected to the Presidency (if we're still in Iraq). It doesn't matter if that Democrat is Clinton, Dean or Feingold. Whatever the extent al-Qiada was in Iraq before the invasion, they are there now.

Dave, could you expand on that a bit. It's too cryptic for me.

If Iraqi matters are at this point, in the beginning of 09 and a Dem takes office, my guess is that the political will to stay in Iraq will have been completely dissipated. My own guess, fwiw, is that Al Qaeda being in Iraq is not the largest problem likely to occur in Iraq. Rather, it's the possibility of a regional civil war in the very region which is central to the oil supply for the global economy.

Bill and I won't have much beyond our social security checks to live on at that point.
