Bush supporters are trying to short circuit the discussion about the end game in Iraq by saying ANY such talk is equivalent to 'cut and run.' Just one more lie.
For there to be any type of success you need to know what the goal is.
Iraq is free from Saddam, there are no WMD's and Iraq is heading toward self rule.
All of these issues were at one time an end goal for the invasion.
Because of poor planning and fore thought, insurgents were never part of the equation.
Two significant markers are quickly coming into view. When the death toll in Iraq is greater than the death toll of 9/11. The end of the Bush Presidency.
If there is no concrete plan to exit Iraq by either of these milestones, the Republican party and Bush will suffer significant blowback.
Bush needs to face reality. Either he needs to fight this war the way it should be fought, or he needs to get the troops out.
