Coalition of the dwindling

Italy will begin withdrawing it's 3,000 troops from Iraq by September, obviously in response to US soldiers shooting a recently freed Italian hostage and high-level intelligence asset.

Support fading


Maybe now the US Congress will begin to pressure the Bush administration for an exit strategy. After two years don't we deserve to know what set of circumstances will lead to our withdrawal? Didn't President Bush himself say that "victory is exit strategy?"

We waited out WMD claims.
We waited out Saddam's capture.
We waited out a transfer of sovereignty.
We waited out an Iraqi election.

What, exactly, are we waiting for now?
