Tim, I know you feel that way, but I think you are completely unfair. It is not a case of staying power.
It is distrust, disgust, bitterness, empathy, dislike, anger, boredom, disempowerment. If we had not pulled out of Afghanistan to start on Iraq, how would that conflict now be doing? If Bush had listened to his advisors in the military who wanted more boots right away, where would we be today in Iraq? If Bush were to ask for and send 150,000 more troops to Iraq right now, where would we be? (I think the American people would have been completely behind this type of move, rather than the piddly "increase" he ordered up). And to pull in the generic "left" is disingenous of you - and you know it. How again does planning to kill kids in huge numbers help our country? (Listen to Greg's plan - how does it strike you? Do you thikn it will suddenly make America safe? Or do you think it would be the biggest mistake in the history of the world to nuke Iraq right now?)
