Should he, or shouldn’t he? Bush, that is, in weighing whether troop reductions or a complete withdrawal is in order in Iraq. Even many Iraqi leaders and insurrectionists publicly agree that the U.S. forces’ presence is making matters worse, not better, so that indigenous observation would seem to militate (pun not intended but works) against Bush’s plan to stay the course until the country is stabilized. According to these Iraqis, the U.S. is the cause of the turbulence.
If that’s the case and we’re not appreciated there, even a die-hard, military-first conservative such as myself has to vote for acquittal—Get the heck out before we lose further lives and respect. If Iraq becomes subsumed by a greater Iran, so be it. That’s the cost of empire building in a country where the citizenry can’t support a war that lasts longer than the evening news. And while we’re at it, how about vacating South Korea and the ingrates there as well? If the North takes them over, they had it coming. The South Korean stepchildren is now a robust 60 years old and complaining too much; time to boot him out into the real world.
