First, I would ridicule the Democrats for being out of any ideas, but tired old phrases. A pull-out won’t work. (Funny, “pulling out” usually refers to “coitus interruptus”, but in this case, “pulling out” means the Democrats want to screw the Iraqi’s. Maybe we should call it, “Iraqus Interruptus”.)

Secondly, I would not change the general rules of engagement. We must maintain the higher moral ground.

Thirdly, I would increase the patrols on the border with the psychopathic nations bordering Iraq (especially Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.) Inasmuch as is possible, I would change the rules of engagement along these borders. Anybody with an unknown purpose found crossing the border will be considered an attacking combatant on Iraqi soil, and will be dispatched appropriately. Goat-herders and other nomads do not apply, but should expect to be thoroughly searched. This may necessitate an increase in our forces there, but it would be worth it.

I have a few other ideas, but they mostly involve pigs. Or pig guts, as the case may be. And emasculation.

Undoubtedly the calls to divide the country (and withdraw shortly thereafter) will increase.

You are clearly against a pullout. Most of the left is not blind to the basic consequences of that route you know. But rather than prod you on that issue, I ask: What would you do?
