Dear General Pelosi,

Congress proposed a forced withdrawl from Iraq beginning in March of '08. Money is approved but redirected towards fighting the Taliban and Al Qaida in Afghanistan. Nancy Pelosi and other Dems are aimed at forcing Bush's policy toward their own agendas. Bush hasn't done a great job, but I'm not sure that Pelosi is the person we want in charge of military policy in the Middle East (or anywhere).

OK, we're all sick of Iraq. We would love for the US to be able to get out of Iraq. We want to stop blowing money, end world hunger, and stop violence in the Middle East. It would also be cool if I could get my six-year-old a unicorn for her birthday. It ain't gonna happen.

How do you justify being a liberal pacifist on one hand and then sentencing thousands more Iraqis to their death on the other? When we pull out of Iraq, total civil war breaks out, Al Qaida moves into their new home (including Bin Laden, if he's still alive), and we once again let a group of people who eat dirt and live in filth kick our asses.

I'm tired of saying that we need to win. I'm tired of hearing all of these "alternative" plans. We are fighting the war on terror in Iraq. Hell, we brought it to Iraq (which may not have been right, but Baghdad ain't New York, so screw 'em).

I will speak the Inconvenient Truth right here-

If we leave Iraq under any conditions other than an absolute resolution of violence, Al Qaida and all other Jihadists will view our leaving as a defeat of the United States. This will prolong the "War on Terror" and create a surge in new terrorist activities across the globe.

We do need to revamp strategies. We do need to initiate talks between warring factions. We do need to change our approach to Iraq.

But we cannot afford to leave these people believing that we can be defeated...
