There were few if any terrorist in Iraq before we invaded, now it's full of "terrorist" (who probably view themselves as Arab freedom fighters), so we can't leave because that would "embolden" them.

Terrorists are terrorists. They aren't defined by their cause, but by their actions. I don't know the best way to fight them, but one thing is certain -- rewarding them for their actions isn't it. The suggestion that we may bail out because the going got tough is simply rewarding them for their actions.

One must question the intellect of those who are suggesting we should pull out of Iraq. Whether you agree that we should be there or not, it would be obscenely stupid to pull out before we finish what we went to do.

The fact that we are there is what has created them; the longer we stay, the more they will be emboldened.

The longer we stay, the better we'll get at killing them. And dead terrorists is what this is all about.
