Re: "If we do that"

(Follow the pull-out plan passed by the Iraqi Parliament and signed into law by their Prime Minister and agreed to by President Bush?????? Is that what you are referring to??????)

Re: "we will leave the country in disarray and it will most likely dissolve back into civil war."

They may in fact settle down to internecine struggles after we are out (I have been predicting that for several years), but it will have nothing to do with us --- only the LOCALS can settle their local disagreements. It has ALWAYS been true.

Re: "Only a moron could come up with such a plan."

(Like I pointed out: George Bush approved it and committed the United States to following this withdrawal timeline that the newly "sovereign" Iraqi government DEMANDED. Remember when Bush had a big ceremony and officially "turned over sovereignty" to the Iraqis? This is what sovereignty means.)

Re: "Unfortunately we have such a man as the sitting President."

Following the international treaty previously AGREED TO by *both* the Iraqi government and the government of the United States of America? Yeah... what a wild man that makes President Obama out to be! Imagine: obeying the law! :-)
