As a moonbat, I would be perfectly happy if we would start a "gradual redeployment" sometime next year. That's a decent compromise. The problem is that Bush doesn't want to redeploy -- ever. His whole strategy is based on the idea that we have to stay until we "win," and since we cannot "win" an Iraqi civil war, that means we have to stay forever. The conflict is not between people who want an abrupt withdrawal and those who don't. It's between people who want to think about leaving, and people like Bush who refuse to entertain the idea (and who talk instead about "progress" in Iraq even though Iraq is in fact just as dangerous as ever). Serious people want to stop talking about "winning" (since this isn't possible) and start talking about the best way to leave, while America-haters like Bush want to talk only about "winning," and thereby guarantee America's defeat and humiliation (we can't "win," but staying forever like Bush wants is the only way we can "lose").
