I hope that nobody believes that we just up and leave Iraq, but it does seem like there should be a PLAN for us to get out. A timeline of some sort. It doesn't have to carved in stone, but at least some goals with tenative dates on when we should accomplish it. How many times are we going to send some of these guys back over there? Some are on their THIRD deployment there. Young men are going to be more wary of joining the military as long as the stop loss deal is extending on and on and on. We've depleted our own country of National Guard resources to the point that some states would be in very serious trouble if something monumental occured (like the Detroit riots of '67). There has to be some sort of timeline like.. "We will get them to point A by X/X/0X so that we can get them to point B by ... and get out of there by ... ". Don't people ever wonder if the insurgents would mellow out if we were gone because they are acting against US primarily? We've created a monster. I sure wouldn't want to inherit that mess...
On a totally different note, the Detroit Free Press reported today that the Democratic National Committee may encourage Michigan and Florida to hold caucuses which would actually count since the race is so close between Clinton and Obama, both are swing states in the national election and our primaries didn't count. What a joke this has become in some ways.
