This is like a hedge bet for me. If by some infintesible chance Iraq stabilizes, I'm on board. A one in a million chance, so my odds are about the same as lotto.
If it happens it happens if it don't it don't........can't say we didn't try. Fact is that area is so vital I can't see us just walking away and leaving it for groups like Al-Queda.

As for Cindy........I don't think her son would be very happy about her actions, or should I say reaction. RIght from her quote, ??He was very proud to serve for his country and to help the people of Iraq. [It is] very strong in our hearts what our country is doing for Iraq.? ........this is why the rest of the family bailed out on her.

Have a good one!:s4:
