"Put yourself in the shoes of the enemy. The enemy hears a big debate in the United States, and they have to wonder, maybe all we have to do is wait, and we’ll win." – Donald RumsfeldOk, Rummy. How many years should we keep quiet? 1 year? Two? How about five or ten? Truth is, the cultural and religious forces behind the violence in the middle-east has been festering there for hundreds of years, if not millenniums. What’s a few more years to them? Or decades? They will wait it out as long as it takes, they've done it before. If anything, time is on their side, not ours, whether we debate about it or not. They have their democracy in Iraq, its theirs to lose - not ours. Here’s the plan: Drawdown the troops and get out ASAP.

Time is not on our side
Back in November of 2005, Rumsfeld said Murtha was undermining the troops with his openness to debate the war in Iraq. The same thing holds true for today except a lot more are willing to speak up. More and more are beginning to feel the war of the 21st century will not be in Iraq, but will begin after the war in Iraq. Think Progess Excerpt

We have no choice but to do it Bush's way. After 4 months of this, what will be so different? Nothing except 300 or so more GI's killed.
