Truly a good question. I have been thinking long and hard about this and I think, honestly, it is because he fears that it would make him seem as if he has a small or nonexistent penis. I mean that is WHY we are in Iraq to begin with, to prove that the Bushes have penises. . . Seriously, GW had been itching to invade Iraq sine his daddy was called a wimp back in the day. SO if GW pulls out he has to admit that not only was his daddy wrong but he was wrong and well... in the end that is NOT good for the penises... I mean the Bushes. . . Anyway, GW had been planning an attack on Iraq since before 911 (which had NOTHING TO DO WITH IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!! no matter how much you WANT IT TO!!!!!) and there is PLENTY of proof to back that up. So while hundreds of Americans and THOUSANDS of Iraqis die, he can at least feel better knowing that he had done all he can to prove that, once and for all, he has a penis.. . This is a travesty of justice and, unfortunately, I doubt the history books will remember it accurately, but WE need to at least be honest and deal with this mess before it truly is another decade long VIETNAM.. at least then we can hopefully keep history from COMPLETELY repeating itself.. . A lot of people say we need to "git er dun" or that we need to stay the course. That if we cut and run now that all our soldiers would have died in vain. That is a RIDICULOUS reason t have a few thousand MORE DIE IN VAIN!! It is not like killing MORE innocent people will bring the dead back to life. At least if we just admit our failings and work, WITH OTHERS, to help Iraq. Then, we can create a truly stable environment and hopefully get out with some amount of dignity and a few SAVED LIVES!!!. . AND to all those who will thumbs DOWN me and think I do not SUPPORT our troops... MY BROTHER is over there and I DO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.. I want to BRING THEM HOME!!!!! . . I do not want to lose my brother for a false cause... Or an egomaniac who is just desperately trying to prove that he has a penis... . . Yes George... we GET IT... we are ALL GETTING IT!! Without the kindness of a reach around even!!!!. . ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!. . BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!!!!
