It seems to me, neither the police nor insurgents can be successful without the support of the population. As long as we're there, they really don't have to make the choice.
That said, I would hope we would announce our intentions, complete with a time line, and respond to any attacks on our troops, with massive deadly force.
You can argue the semantics of cut and run vs turning the country over to the natives, but the fact remains that Bush's plan (plan?) didn't happen and never will. Time for a (new) plan.
Bush can always shake his head and say the Iraqis were given the opportunity and refused to be helped. So now they can do what ever the hell they want, the ingrates......since truth has never entered into it.
Bin Ladin? The only way is to start a new war in Pakistan..... armed to the teeth, nuclear, Pakistan. No thanks, he ain't worth it.
Just keep in mind the Pakis aren't friends or family....just business partners looking out for their own.
