Ouch, Kev. Have you really imbibed and digested their victim complex? Nobody
wants to turn this into Bush's quagmire any more than they wanted that many Americans and Iraqis thrust into questionably motivated combat. This isn't some idiot running up on a pack of pigs and calling them ducks: this looks like a duck, smells like a duck, and literally hangs out in the general territory of endless duck wars.
I agree at this point that withdrawing our forces entirely would, at the very best, sacrifice everything we've already accomplished and at worst create possibly the most dangerous and volatile power vaccuum the Middle East has ever seen. I don't, however, think that commentary on the war is motivated by a desire for Bush to fail.
His failure is evident. Wanting it so would be pointless.
