Don't want your brand of support. they think they can get the job done and they want to stay.
Your idea of "support" is to stab em in the back...
Your idea of compassion is to run away and let the good people in iraq be enslaved and slaughtered.
I keep wondering... other than making bush and republicans look bad and saving the election for democrats and... giving the democrats more money to waste....
What good will running away do again?

lazs, or should I say westmorlandmonkey, you sit on your fat arse in your cozy home and worry about how it will "look" if we leave IRAQ? We should have never been there in the first place. Same as Vietnam when all the Hawks kept talking about "preventive measures and cutting off communism in SE Asia". All it was, and turned out to be, was an unwinnable bloodbath that it had already been proven to be in '54.
To answer your last question in the above quote:
I wouldn't call finishing the job and getting the hell out of that god forbidden place running, but it might save thousands of mothers and fathers the eternal sadness of seeing the officer and chaplan's cars pull up in their driveway. The only problem is, noone who got us in there can tell us what finishing the job is, or when it will be accomplished. That kind of ambiguity is insulting to the soldiers, and families of the ones serving over there and smells of bad planning and poor foresight!
Oh, you can leave the political rhetoric out if you like, I can't stand either party.
