I don't imagine I need to comment. I'm simply glad they're finally showing their true colors.

I don't understand the logic behind this :
"Besides, to not support the mission is to hope the mission fails."

If you support hte mission, you hope it succeeds. If you do not support the mission, how can you maintain any sort of intellectual honesty by saying "Well, I don't support it, but I hope it succeeds." You can't.

So if you don't hope it succeeds, you, by default, hope it doesn't succeed. You hope it fails.

You have articulated a stand wherein you do not hope the mission fails. Therfore, you hope it succeeds, and therefore support the mission. You may not be willing to admit this, but your stated views indicate it to be so.

Withdrawl is a bad idea. First is the issue of honor. I realize this is a foreign concept to most of American society, though I doubt it is to you. Still, the fact remains we broke Iraq, we're honor bound to fix it.

Further, almost all insurgencies fail, especially when not support by a regular maneuver force (such as the NVA). The problem is the average life span of an insurgency is 7-10 years. These things take time.

There are a number of other reasons to not withdraw, but I'd be here typing for hours, and I have to work tonight.
