Brice,

when did I ever mention cut and run?
I would like to see that GWB takes responsibility for this mess and then 
asks Dick to step down and does the same.

Now we can only train the Iraqis and give our soldiers the 
weapons/protection they need. They still lack body-armor and armored 
vehicles. After 3 years and 400 billion.
Then tell the Iraqis that this isn't an open end and neither a continous 
money-flow. 
You might know that people in general are lazy, therefore as long as the US 
pays for everything, they won't hurry to fix the problems themselves.
sounds familiar? currently we support a kinda socialist strategie.
We pay pay pay without any limits and any dead-line.
Guess what. why hurry? why fix problems?

If that doesn't work within 12-18 months, then nothing will and it is time 
to leave.
How about that as a cut and run instead of stay-the-course no matter what?
