Just want to wash our hands and run, not just in Iraq but in Afghanistan, cause its confusing and disorderly. What a victory for terrorism that would be. What a shot in the arm for our enemies and for terrorists everywhere - and yes, we do have enemies even if liberals want to pretend otherwise.

And trot out the usual moral equivalence argument as an excuse for inaction and surrender:

Should they be kidnapping and cutting off people's heads? No. Should Allawi have shot 6 insurgents in the head without trial? No. Should US Troops have beaten prisoners to death in Abu Gharib? No. Should the US continuously bomb Iraq with relatively little concern about 'collateral' civilian casualties? No.

The idea is we shouldn't do anything cause we're as bad as them. No, we're not as bad as them. For example, we do not bomb with no concern about civilian casulties. If we did that, the casualties would have been in the hundreds of thousands.

As bad as fighting them is, surrendering would be worse.
