The War.
"I know what I’m about to say is not going to be a popular thing. But to pick up and leave would break the promises we have made to the Iraqi people, would leave hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians defenseless, would lead to massive chaos and bloodshed, and would be an act of moral dishonor. It would be akin to what the Allies did after World War II, when they abandoned Eastern Europe to the Soviets and returned millions of Russian refugees and POWs to lands occupied by the Red Army -- even though the Allies knew that, for many, it meant death and, for the rest, tyranny. That was one of the most shameful chapters in the history of the West -- an abandonment of our most fundamental moral principles."
That was from the breakpoint I got today and I just wanted to stand and applaud what he said. Sure, I have my doubts about weather going into Iraq was a good thing, but we are there and there is no going back. Leaving now would 'cause the death of anyone in Iraq who ever helped an American. It would be the end for them. No, America can't run now, we've made a promise. We're there, and It's too late to NOT give your support. Stop asking why we're there, we ARE there, for better or for worse...we can't leave.
