Bush Speaks
If we leave, apparently a sanctuary for Al Qaeda will develop in Iraq, harboring terrorists to launch attacks on the US. There is no mention of how Iraq in such a scenario would differ from our present situation with other countries in the region, nor how staying in Iraq would increase our ability to actually alter the perception of Americans in the Middle East.
Sending more troops only reinforces the terrorist's rhetoric that we are an occupying power.
I feel bad for our troops: over 3000 dead and 20,000 injured, and as Bush admits, it isn't going to get better any time soon. He used the old Vietnam argument that we can not let our troops die in vain by leaving. I have never understood how sending more troops to die in their place honors anybody. I'm interested to see if Congressional Democrats will make a stand, and if the American public will support them.
