Bush and his cronies are just plain stupid. As much as they know how to smear and demonize the dems, they don't know how to communicate to the people. The WAR has already been won. What's happening now is something completely different (and honestly, from the terrorist perspective, probably even better than what they were hoping for). But as much as Moore and others would like the US to leave, it's as stupid a decision as going in there in the first place. How could they possibly think that leaving wouldn't make things worse for the US?
If the US leaves, things will go from bad to worse and in the long run be worse off for the US than staying. The US MUST stay and suffer more deaths until Iraq is running "smoothly" and can defend itself. The US must get tougher and "crush" (go to full out war again) the insurgents etc. instead of patrolling and dieing while waiting for the Iraqs to step up. One of the problems is that the goal will take a decade or more to acheive. That's something the public doesn't understand, perhaps doesn't want to understand, and they're typically not willing to support that type of thing.
As much as the US shouldn't have gone started it, they need to stay and finish it now.
