This President really can start to take some advice, bad advice from the Democrates is better than the best advice this fellow has shown in the past 6 years. The main advice is to take that rubber stamp from him. Now Americans can enjoy the way democracy is supposed to be, messy compromise. Personally, I am opposed to leaving Iraq since I think this can be turned into a positive. But I am real, this President in 5 years have not shown a plan. War on Terror, surge -which is silly- and other undefined utter non-sense where there are no tactics, objectives or strategies to really acheive them. In case there is disagreement, come up with a tactic to defeat terror and tell it to the White House - it will be the first one they have had. If a simple minded term such as surge to solve this problem is the best America, or Iraq for that matter, has to look forward to as a plan then a debate on leaving is healthy. Let's keep surging until the military is worn down along with the treasury.
