Cut & run, eh? Well, we HAVE liberated them, havent we? They are free from the clutches of that evil despot Saddam, now, arent they?
But if we cut and run, the US wont have access to the precious Iraqi oil........cant have that!
And if we cut and run now, the ungreatful iraqis will probably make some comment on how they used to have peace, jobs, houses, oil, etc till we liberated them, wont they?
And complain that all they have to live in now is mainly bomb-craters........they really dont appreciate all we did for them, do they?
