The debate on us leaving Iraq is a sham. We are not, lead by Democrats or Republicans, "leaving" that country en masse or anything even close to it. Whoever is in power will be forced to remain because to leave would only plunge the place into chaos and force our imminent return under worse circumstances.
This entire debate is a political theatre. The Democrats are culpable on this because they are playing it for votes knowing it is a promise they can never keep.
This is not Vietnam. It is in no way analogous.
Bush has broken the vase and we have to pay to for it now. Leaving the store has never and will never be an option, except for the shit-for-brains crowd that believes what it sees on C-Span or hears in stump speechs.
There will be 15,000 dead Americans before Iraq is close to some sort of peaceful stasis, and it will be three states tied together in the thinnest of republican organizations.
