I'm not sure why you think this indicates that the administration won't see things through. It sounds like they read my post the other day and understand how important it is to hand power back to any part of Iraq that shows its able to control itself. Obviously joking, but I fully expect them to start organizing localized elections in any place they have not done so yet.
And, at some point or another, I think you will see a gunship attack on any crowds looting a destroyed humvee or whatever in Fallujah. The overriding lesson has to be that resistance is futile, while cooperation and self-control will lead to the popular reward of, democratic elections and no more occupation.
So, are you saying they pull out of Fallujah and Tirani (or whatever) next June, even if the attacks are continuing at their current levels? I promise you this. If that happens (America cuts and runs from a fight), I'll be voting for Sharpton (there really are not very many good alternatives for me... maybe Dean -- seriously).
What do the voters want? Anything but giving in to our enemies. If they even think about it, we will be pissed. But that's not what the plan says. THe plan just says we will be reasonable with reasonable self-controlled Iraqis.
Is your problem with it the fact that it seems to be driven by unfortunate events? If so, then I agree that it is a problem. This shit should have been announced months ago.
