If they flipped yesterday, they can flop tomorrow. The Democrats running for office want the contributions from the left wing liberal loonies. The Dems will continue to try to satisfy their base, without doing something totally ignorant...like assuming defeat.

We are in a slow bleed situation in Iraq and we could remain in that same situation for decades. As far as winning is concerned, we can always say that we’ve already won and it’s time to come home. Whenever we leave, Iraq will be left a mess. The issue is how quickly or slowly we withdraw our troops. The Democrats say we should withdraw soon and the Republicans are looking at a decades-long occupation.
There is no flip-flopping by the Democrats. The Democrats are not uniform in their approach as to how to withdraw but they all agree that almost all of the troops have to come home fairly soon.

No, and careful reading will show that they never did advocate cut and run, it was always a phased withdrawal.
The war is over what we are now debating is whether we stay and choose sides in a sectarian civil war.
We won the war, lost the peace, and now have to consider what we are going to do, how much money and how many troops we are willing to sacrifice in order to keep Iraqi oil flowing.
The $190 Billion dollars EXTRA asked for this week by Gates would fund the extension of the children's health care program for ten years. Is that why Bush won't sign it...we need the money for their war, and not our kids?

We could win the war in Iraq.
It would require starting a draft.
And replacing the commander in chief with someone who's foreign policy consists of more than '9/11, 9/11, 9/11'.

The study of historical "wars", and the nature of the Radical Islamics we are "conflicting with" indicates an long- extended -time frame. The "cut and run" method, in this case, will result in further aggressive action, on the part of those fascinated with the fundamental "Radical" Islamics. I am only stating my "opinion", having studied some of the "Holy Type Wars" that have occurred in that part of the world, since about 3,000 B.C.
To Cut and Run that act WILL NOT stop anything. Cut and Run will result in genocide in their parts of the middle east, and the believers that follow the "kill all infidels" mind set,
will ATTACK the U.S.A., and THE REMAINDER OF WHOMEVER THEY CHOSE, WITH THE MOST DEVASTATING W.M.D.'S that they may obtain, using any method available to them!!!
The fact or fiction , of the Dem's "Staying the Course" or "Citing and Running, WILL NOT STOP THE HOSTILITIES which have been set into forcefully action !!! Sorry folks, if this does not settle well with your mind set, desires, or hopes.
History IS in the process of repeating itself, and the delay, and time "WASTED" fu**ing around with the U.N., have and are serving those waring TRIBES of humanity, well!!!!!

Greetings. certainly. if you can figure out what in the hell win is supposed to mean. if you mean can we kill off everyone there and create peace? I doubt it. what is there to win? no one wins a war against partisans other then through total genocide. And total genocide can be a very costly thing to try to do. Hitler found that out. No one wins a religious war other then genocide either. So what is there for us to win? nothing. and the democrats didn't flip flopped. they were always in the republican pocket or in their underware doing their thing at the brown zone.

i still haven't heard anyone tell me what exactly victory is in that place? the money and the lives that have been wasted and will continue to be wasted make it impossible to achieve a "victory."
it seems to me that you are gloating over the fact that the bush administration's inept management has made it impossible to leave. if that is what you are talking about, i feels for ya, honey.

They are getting closer to becoming President and they have to deal with the awful truth. A quick pullout would trigger genocide or a wider Middle Eastern War. They are going to be stuck with that fact and do not want to responsible for it. So they are changing their position to deal with the truth.

It would have been a lot easier if president Bush would have stayed in Iraq instead of abandoning our troops there.
