The Presidential winner in 2008 will be the candidate who declares,"If elected ,I will get us out of Iraq within 6 months of my election.I won't promise to do any thing else ,but I will keep this promise!!!"

He [or she] would win by a landslide, regardless of their political party.

But who's got the stones to make that promise???

No one that I see running.

hippolips

I don't believe any candidate would make a 6-month promise for a set deadline.

Six months?

'"[T]here are people in Washington … who never intend to withdraw military forces from Iraq and they’re looking for ten, 20, 50 years in the future … the reason that we went into Iraq was to establish a permanent military base in thegulf region, and I have never heard any of our leaders say that they would commit themselves to the Iraqi people that ten years from now there will be no military bases of the United States in Iraq."
