"What good ideas does the right have on Iraq? More of the same is all I'm seeing." Pretty much. Bush has been pushing the "sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away" 'idea' for a while. I mean "I am leaving this to the next President to solve" is just the sort of childish petulance I have grown to expect of him. Now that they are floating the idea of a staged withdrawal, something they've spent a lot of energy belittling as "cutting and running". It shows exactly how lacking in ideas they really are. No doubt they will try to nuance it some way, but the bottom line is they are unable to accept good ideas unless they can file off the serial numbers and pretend that it is really theirs.

Z, The fact that the hostile encounters aren't stopping or even slowing down is a victory for the insurgency and bad for us. During the American occupation of Japan after WWII, there was a saying: en.wikipedia.org Compare that to today, where the talk of pullout from Iraq occurs on a daily basis. That in itself encourages the terrorists to continue. One thing in Zarqawi's possession when he died was a copy of Newsweek. What do you think he was doing with that, reading the movie reviews?
