best summation of Ritter's view:

Before his speech, he said the only way out is to just leave.

The United States will suffer the same fate as Israel when that country went after the Palestine Liberation Organization in Lebanon and ended up struggling with Hezbollah as well, he said.

"The longer we stay in Iraq the more [likely] it is we are going to create an Iraqi Hezbollah -- an amalgamation of Islamic fundamentalism and Iraqi nationalism -- that will defeat us," he said.

But if the United States just withdrew, "whatever comes out of that will be less of a threat to us than this future Hezbollah," he said.
