re: Its pretty clear that Bush is getting a vote of no confidence on this plan. In most democracies, he would be forced to step down.

A shame we can't do that. Bush is the poster child that the founding fathers were not perfect.

"President Bush told Americans last night that failure in Iraq would be a disaster."

We were told "defeat" in Vietnam would be a disaster. We walked away, and as far as America goes, it wasn't even a hiccup. It was a VICTORY for sanity and fiscal discipline.

I totally disagree that walking away from Iraq will be a disaster. Iraqis will fight to control their country - they WON'T "follow us home". In fighting to control their country, THEY'LL toss the jihaddis out. Eventually, a faction will win. We may not like it, but it will represent the collective will of the Iraqi people.
