Gen. David Petraeus famously asked Rick Atkinson, The Washington Post reporter who was embedded with him during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, "Tell me how this ends?"
Good question. What happens when we draw down to a couple thousand and the insurgents figure out they outnumber us?
So now we've had two Mission Accomplished speeches, and there are still 50,000 American soldiers in Iraq. I don't think many people on the left believe the war is over if there are 50,000 soldiers still there.

I didn't hear any "mission accomplished." It was a humble speech that reminded us the real hornets nest is the American economy. He walked in to both pieces of crap.
I think sarah palin can fix it all. She's pertineer smarter 'n some.

Michelle Bachmann might be smarter.

The difference between Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Iraqi New Dawn is probably the same as the difference between Operation Treadstone and Operation Blackbriar.
