In-fact, I was just making a direct stab at alot of the recent (pull out of IRAQ now!) trend amoung popular opinion.

I think that we need to have a strategy other than cut and run, and I was calling popular opinion fickle because it is....

Thats why the supreme court is in for life, so pop. politics isn't involved... even though it tends to creep its way in there every so often.

oop sorry Rob, wasn't lumping you in with the bean-counters if you saw it that way.

i would directly disagree with you that the 'get out of iraq' feeling is RECENT. a full half of the country didn't want to go in in the first place, regardless of how our 'representatives' voted (thats why they're called flip floppers right?).

the whole doubt about WMDs, concern about lack of exit strategy, troop level controversy and benefits to the general war on terror is all at least as old as the war itself.
