If we do pull out because of the continuing violence we've just sent a message to our enemies that the US will back down from a fight if they follow the strategy of civil unrest, IED's and terrorism. Just think of all the opportunity's we had to back out of WWII when things got ugly.

1. What are our objectives?
2. Let's send a message that if you commit a crime here on US soil, we will find you in any crevice of this earth that you are and hunt you down (they haven't found Bin Laden yet have they?)
There was a real reason to be there! Am I missing something about Iraq? Was Saddam Hitler? Was Saddam killed 2 yrs ago? Didn't we originally go there because they were "harbouring terrorist."
Find Bin Laden who orchestrated the terrorist activities. He was in Afghanastan. Get the guy that killed thousands of Americans on American soil. That made the effects of the attacks linger on still. Americans should be outraged that THAT isn't the real goal.
The rest of the world won't say "oh they backed down from a fight" - more civilians have been killed during this war than when Saddam was in command - so don't come back with "Saddam was opressing his people." There's opression all over the world.. No troops are being sent there to "save the people from their own Government."
Why am I typing, you probably voted for Bush in his second term, on the basis of "we can't change presidents in the middle of a war." LOL.
