Bush, Cleland offer clashing views on Iraq war.

(CNN) -- President Bush on Saturday said the United States is fighting "terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world," and a former U.S. senator who fought in the Vietnam War denounced the Iraq war effort, saying "its plan for victory is not working."

Bush delivered his remarks in his weekly radio address and former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia spoke in the weekly Democratic radio response.

Their words reflect the different priorities of Americans concerning the war in Iraq, which the United States launched more than two years ago, versus the conflict in Afghanistan, which began a month after al Qaeda attacked the United States on September 11, 2001.

Well, if the troops left all of a sudden, the enemy will try to take advantage of the situation. And that the Iraqi people would feel threatened. You wouldn't want that now would you?

hmm... maybe if we bang our head against the brick wall enough times, the wall will give up and fall over.

How gives a flip? If the Iraqi people can't fight against an insurgency in their own ranks, they deserve to be abused by a dictator/mullah. I'm sick of subsidizing this idiotic operation.
