See for yourself
Americans know the Iraq war is ill-gotten and unlikely to produce a shining beacon of democracy in gains. More likely it will produce an Iranian client-state if we're lucky, and a terrorist breeding ground ala Afghanistan if we are unlucky.
Climbing aboard a ship of fools is not a wise thing to do, yet the top Democrats sit on deck and complain about the tea service, without realizing that Republicans are making off quietly with the life boats.
Isn't it obvious?
Republicans are trying to cut-and-run without the appearance of cutting and running and Democrats are letting them.
It is time for the democratic leadership to wake up and get an exit strategy from the Bush administration now!
Here is a handy quote to use as ammo:
The only definition of Victory is Exit Strategy
George W. Bush 1999
Nobody will think you're tough for quibbling about structural changes and what-not. Demand a plan for victory. Get Republicans to define the parameters for victory. Don't waste a breath on pull-out dates. Get pull-out conditions.
If you don't lead at a time when it counts, when does it count if you lead?
