I'm a firm believer that we shouldn't just pull out of Iraq. I got a short-lived noteriety on LJ when I posted the following:

I would not support just pulling out of Iraq completely. It would be like practicing coitus interruptus and then, nine months later, saying, "I didn't create that baby! I pulled out just in time!"

Of course, given this administration's theories on birth control, it might just believe that coitus interruptus is more effective than condoms, too.

We made our bed, now we need to lie in it, at least for a while.

Should we stay or should we go?

I'm inclined to agree with you, but pulling out looks better and better as things keep getting worse. At some point there's a crossover point where the bad long-term consequences of staying are more likely or worse than the bad long-term consequences of leaving. I just don't know if we've reached that point or not.

This is what we get for war planning based on optimistic projections.
