It looks like we are going to sneak out of Iraq by Sept 2008 if the House gets their way. So lets see who they are going to mess up by doing this. First they are ignoring the Iraqi Vice President. He of course warns that chaos will reign if we pull out too early. I guess listening to a man whose life literally hangs in the balance when we pull out isn't what the Left like to do.
They are also tying the hands of the generals in charge over there. If there is a firm time table then he has maybe a few months to stabilize the country before he has to plan on pulling troops out. So about the only thing he could do is be as brutal as he can. He has to use as much force as possible to neutralize as many insurgents as he can before his forces are weakened by the Dems. I guess some extra collateral damage is fine for the Left.
All the insurgents have to do is go to ground until we have maybe 30,000 troops or so in country and then go crazy. We however look like a paper tiger that abandons its allies at the worst possible time. So it will tell every enemy of the US all they have to do is wait until the Left get into power over here and they will win every war. North Korea and Iran you now have a friend in Congress.
The worst part about this whole thing is how politically motivated it is. Why did they pick the month before the elections to have every troop out of Iraq? I think this is timed to make it so the chaos will get as bad as it can be right before the election. Then the Dems can look like we are pulling our troops out of Iraq right in the nick of time before the blood closes over the heads of the Iraqis. In other words Hillary/Obama gets to ride a wave of Iraqi corpses right into the White House. Some "progressives" we have here in this country.
