One large pile of Crock
(er)!

<snip>
The US ambassador in Baghdad has cautioned of the dangers of over-hasty withdrawals of military forces in Iraq.
Ryan Crocker's warning comes as Democratic candidates in the US presidential race talk of setting timetables for pulling out troops.

The ambassador told the BBC a recent improvement in the current security situation was not irreversible.

He warned a new cycle of violence could start up if withdrawals were not handled very carefully.

Democratic contender Barack Obama has said he favours a full withdrawal by the end of next year, while Hillary Clinton says she will set a timetable within two months if she is elected.

1. Every single thing from here on out is Democrats fault
Nothing else will ever get printed. It's the Democrats fault.

Bush has depleted the US Military so badly that it is not possible to sustain the numbers we have in Iraq. There will be no option other than withdrawal. That was the whole point of the surge - to use every last one of the available troops so that withdrawal would be dumped in the Democrat's lap and the loss of the war will be forever blamed on Democrats.
