BTW----who are these phantom intelligence sources? Anyone can draw up an article without having to footnote specific sources!Sorry, but a "gut feeling" without raising the alert level doesn't cut it!
To quit now sends the wrong message to our foes (radical islam) who know that the USA doesn't have the stomach to stay the course and therefore enboldens them to take the war to the next level----and the wrong message to our allies who see we can't be trusted to keep our commitment!
The bottom line is that Iraq, at some point, needs to deal with its own problems. With the blood of our soldiers, not to mention billions of our dollars, we've given them the opportunity to get out from under the boot of an evil dictator and create a free society of their own making. It's time for them to sink or swim on their own.

We've given the Iraqi's all they need to succeed and IMHO its time to cut the cord and let them manage their own country.
