Conservatives are accusing Liberals who want to quickly withdraw our military forces from Iraq of `Cutting and Running'. Did Eisenhower cut and run from Korea, Nixon from Viet Nam, Reagan from Lebanon, and Clinton from Somalia? Should we still have military forces in all those places to justify the losses that we experienced? Silly, silly conservatives.
The public opinion polls show that the majority of the American people now want us to cut and run from Iraq, as do the majority of the Iraqi people. As in Vietnam, conservative plans to stay in Iraq are being stabbed in the back by the American people. Maybe the conservative policy should be labeled `Stick and Sink'.
