I don't care if you are a Republican or a Democrat, either way if you think we should still be slogging around in Iraq you're just plain stupid. I don't want to see another helicopter airlift disaster like the fall of Saigon but we need to start a staged withdraw sooner rather than later. This has been one of my biggest issues with McCain, his continued defense of the Republican "party line" on the war in Iraq. It looks like the Iraqis have forced the issue by publicly saying they want us out by 2010. How's the McCain campaign going to spin this without looking like unwelcome occupiers? And if the Iranians take over a month after we're gone it won't be a problem because the Israelis will just starting nuking everybody.
Of course there's still a big wild card floating around...what ever happened to that crazy Al Sadr guy? I just worry that he and his Mahdi Army could re-ignite this whole slow burn that seems to be going on there. A lot can happen in just two years, just two years ago violence in Iraq was at its absolute worst.

Those SU-33s are awesome, they were the undisputed kings of high AOA maneuvers until the F-22 went into service. I saw a video of an F-22 doing some shit that makes the Sukhoi "Cobra Maneuver" look clumsy as shit. I'll see if I can find that vid...
