I hope we don't do what the Clinton Admin did in '98. Set the Kurds and southern Shiites up for our invasion, and then pull the plug. That left a lot of them hanging on walls in Saddam's Dungeons.

That TV program called "Issues" that I mentioned the other night about Iraq in which a documentary was presented discussed that very issue. Interviews were conducted with several Iraqi who would have been in that contingent responding to the Bush Sr. call to arms in Iraq after the war. It came through "loud and clear" that they were thoroughly pissed at how they were hung out to dry and therefore could not commit to any new similar initiative from the son of the father in case he turned out to be a holy ghost also. Presumably this time around the Admin will have a physical plan than will catagorically demonstrate that support is "right there".
