Isn't it a coincidence that they started that one year before the elections?  Before that, they never said much about it.  A majority of Democrats voted to go to war also.  Did you know that?  I'm not for the war, but I am a strong believer in finishing what I started.  Besides, it's not up to the Democrats or the Republicans or even the President.  In case you aren't aware of this, President Bush has left this decision up to the commanding officers looking over the operation.  They are the professionals, so once they decide that we have applied enough stability for Iraq to function on it's own, then we will withdraw troops.  It's not up to the President.  I wish people would get off of his back about it.
