I usually don't link to video from Iraq, even though much of it is excellent. The faces of these Iraqi children got to me. I got this from an excellent blogpost: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2007/07/faces-of-iraqi-genocide-victims.html

If we pull out of Iraq too soon, many Iraqis will be slaughtered. Some of these children might be slaughtered - their parents slaughtered - their sisters raped. These are the children which Nancy and Harry and every Dem Pres. Candiddate do not give a dang about. They want to leave these children to Al Qaeda. Republicans also. Republicans also will sacrifice these children, their parents, and America's security. Republicans also will bring home volunteers, who have often re-enlisted, in order to try and save their Congressional seats for themselves. I think it is despicable.

There may come a time, and it might come soon, or not, when the President decides most of our forces should pull out of Iraq. I will be fine with that, whenever it occurs. I am not fine with Congresspersons - Dems and Repubs - trying to call plays from the stands, for the sake of saving their own careers. Despicable. Those Congresspersons are absolutely despicable.

Bush is not a megalomaniac, out of control President. He is Commander in Chief. He gets the briefings. He gets to make the strategic call. Especially when our Congress are just trying to save their seats.
