Democrats Say Leaving Iraq May Take Years - New York Times

So, we learn from this article that "get out of Iraq now" is really a slogan to keep the radical left fringe fired up and to raise political campaign dollars. It's all rhetoric. The Democrats have been disingenuous in demanding that we leave Iraq now because any thinking person understands the risks and consequences of a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq or that region.

One can argue that we should not have gone there in force, but that argument is as hollow as saying that Hussein's repressive regime was good for the region because it kept 'order' by providing Sunni dominance over the Shia and all sorts of totalitarian atrocities. Because Hussein had corrupted the U.N. by bribing leaders with his oil money, it was clear the U.N. was incapable of any action to enforce its resolutions, absent the Coalition invasion.

Apparently Cindy Sheehan and her supporters are the only 'true believers.' The decision to run against Pelosi exemplifies her irrationality after her 'poor me' statement to back out of the spotlight. Her political race against Madam Speaker in San Francisco ought to be fun to watch.
