guess we all have opinions and some of us flip flop on them.

French Prime Minister Villepin now warns against a hasty US withdrawal from Iraq after fighting tooth and nail against the war:

Asked whether Washington should set a timetable for bringing home troops, Villepin said any withdrawal “should be coordinated with the local situation in Iraq and the regional situation.” “I think that the timetable should be a global timetable,” he said. “The real timetable is the Iraqi situation.” Villepin identified two main risks in Iraq: “the division of Iraq, which is of course a nightmare for the region, and … a growing role of terrorism.”

Let's remind our selves.. the democrats cry for withdrawal and time table is political.. they have access to all the military plans which for last year called for withdrawal as Iraq can come up in troop strength expected during 2006 as always.
so democrats figure get out in front of news releases by pentagon and it will come across as a democrat idea forced on bush adm.

there is no comparison of 1966 to Iraq. what was the expected death count on invading Iraq... I assume we expected well over 3000 dead soldiers in the first few days of the war.
was kills people. Bush adm and military and state department screwed up the occupation big time. but you do not cut and run and leave one hell of mess for terrorists to grow at will in Iraq.
us has a foot print in the mid east , saddam is not the threat he once was and things are improving, troops are drawing down and we will have bases for the next decade in the mid east to protect our interest.
