Ronald Reagan, former Hollywood cowboy

"…we did not appreciate fully the depth of the hatred and complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle…In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believed the last thing we should do was turn tail and leave…yet, the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there."

-Ronald Reagan, former Hollywood cowboy

The mud hole in Iraq continues. 3,601 Americans have now lost their lives and since “Mission Accomplished“, 3,462.
Is there anything worse than having congress micromanage the mess in Iraq? Yes, having Mr. Bush mismanage the mess in Iraq! Well don’t worry Mr. Bush, the flag draped coffin returning from Iraq is not a fetus or stem cell.

It is said that if we leave without victory, we dishonor those who have fallen. Or, more Americans must die so we don’t look like such fools to history. Supporters of the Iraqi mud hole tell us of the dangers and chaos of leaving Iraq, but isn't it quite possible that these dangers are simply a consequence of having gone into Iraq in the first place, rather than a consequence of leaving?

Good for you Ron Paul, conviction and integrity from a Republican.
