2. Bring them home now. Or, bring a lot more home in bodybags from the already lost war.

3. If it takes a bit of time for an orderly drawing down of forces then that's fine

But I think we should start bringing them home now. I honestly don't think there's anything there that we can "win".

5. The OP is trying to trap you. See this thread:

Anyone who voted for the first choice, "Bring the troops home tomorrow," do you literally believe that we can bring all the troops home tomorrow?

Or do you mean that we should begin the process of safely bringing our troops home tomorrow?

9. If people want to expand their thoughts to include what you want...

then I fully retract my belief that some people haven't completely thought this through. But if that's the case, then people are being pretty loose and free with the way that they characterize their positions.

10. If we started two years ago...

[ClassWarrior]

12. ...it wouldn't have been soon enough. I fully agree. Does that mean we think it'll be easy?

I say no.
