I know what its like to give up your freedom, and everything you love in the intrest of an ungrateful people who would just as soon stick a knife in your back about as quick as they can utter the words, "F**k you GI!".

Only problem is its a catch 22. We can't withdraw because it would (one of the few things i do agree with bush on), embolden the islamic insurgent/terrorts/whatever you want to call them. They would see it as a victory and more would arguably follow. I don't like how we got there, i dont like the idea of staying, but i agree we can't go anywhere. We're F'ing stuck between a rock and a hardplace.
