by user Alarican There is one thing I do not understand about the Democrats. As of yet, I have heard of no convincing explanation, by anyone who wants us to get out of Iraq ASAP, of how this makes us safer. In fact, no one has even bothered to explain what will happen after we pull out of Iraq at all, much less explain why getting out is in the best interest of the US. As I see it, the argument for staying in Iraq, outlined by Bush when he announced the Surge just before the State of the Union, is that if our forces pull out: And I haven't heard a single Democrat explain it to me.
