OTC: You seem to be hung up on the 130K troops in IRAQ being the only avenue for success. The world is filled with those that wish us harm. Terrorism has it's roots all over the world. Focusing only on IRAQ is narrow minded and the "Deer caught in the headlights" leader of the free world is confused and unable to parse the data presented to him.
When the *** hits the fan, the headlines might be "US disaster in need of thousands of US Troops to help calm and restore order, Alas they are not here"
I hope it does not happen. I hope I am wrong. I hope IRAQ turns out OK and you and BUSH & Company bring Democracy to the Middle East. I hope I don't have to meet parents of dead soldiers who have that lost look like the folks I knew who lost sons in Vietnam.
I will gladly say (when the time comes) OTC you were right.
Until then, we disagree!!!
Signatures are so yesterday!
