Well, now you are talking about what Bush is doing. You need to distinguish between what I think is the right thing to do versus what Bush is doing. I don't think we should be constructing permanent bases in Iraq, unless we plan to turn them over to a newly equipped and trained Iraqi army. They will need bases out of which to operate. But I sure as hell don't want a large U.S. presence in Iraq for decades to come. I'd like to see us get down to an embassy and just several thousand "advisors" by the end of this decade. I'd like to see us have a massive drawdown starting in 2006, after a constitution is written and a gov't is installed based on a constitutional election. In the mean time, though, let's forget about gentlemen's warfar and get down to the serious business of eliminating some of these bad actors. For instance, Muqtada Sadr. He should have been incarcerated or bombed months ago. Let's see what happens.
