Amen to that,
Problem is, politicians right now have to scramble to survive the bad press and opinion polls because for the last 200 years Americans grow weary if a war goes on for more then 3 years. This is the point when they want to pull up their skirts and run away. Most of Iraq is in peace, the northern and the southern areas. It is the Sunni Arab minority who still support the attackes to try and restore a Sunni Arab dictatorship. All that is happening is you have partisans not accurately describing the terror campaign and opposition politicians taking advantage of the situation, this has nothing to do with Iraq. It has everything to do with local politics in the United States.
