The debate comes down to this

Most of the American people want U.S. troops withdrawn from Iraq.

Most members of the U.S. House want the troops withdrawn from Iraq.

Most members of the U.S. Senate want the troops withdrawn from Iraq.

Most of the Iraqi people want U.S. troops withdrawn from their country.

Most nations of the world, including many traditional U.S. allies, want our troops withdrawn from Iraq.

The only obstacle to this goal is the most unpopular American president in more than a generation -- and one of the most unpopular in our nation's history.

That's where America stands today.

UPDATE: The Iraqi prime minister said today that his army and police are capable of handling security in his country and that the United States can withdraw its troops "any time they want." One of his top aides also said that U.S. troops are an embarrassment to the Iraqi government.

Yeah, but we've got to stay the course in Iraq because it's important for George W. Bush's sense of manhood. Dick Cheney's, too. You see, they've got self-esteem issues, especially since both of them ducked service in the Vietnam War, which they otherwise enthusiastically supported.
