You sound like a little kid with A.D.D. Of course, most of the liberals in this country sound that way. Germany and Japan took 3-4 years to get to an election. U.S. troops didn't withdraw for decades after. U.S. troops stationed in both Germany and Japan brought a great deal of goodwill and money to both those recovering countries. Now look at them both. They are a lasting testament to the power of the U.S. to help people find a way to build a lasting and peaceful country for themselves.

Yet, with Iraq, you want us out after only 2 years. That is simply ridiculous. There are no historical precedents for us withdrawing so quickly. In fact, since Iraq represents a bigger problem for us than Germany or Japan, I'd say more time, not less, will be required.

I hope it will be less, but we should never leave until the job is done. If that's not popular with the liberal left, then so be it. Failure is simply not an option in Iraq. The consequences of failure are way to grave.
