The battle against al qaeda was, soberly, billed as a lengthy war. Presently the most effective staging ground is in Iraq...If Bush had an "exit-strategy" (not needed with Kosovo obviously) it would not be wise to broadcast it to the enemy.

Democrats want us to lose the battle...It is Democrat play #1...create the problem (like they did with energy dependence) and once the problem is created they blame the Republicans (like they are doing with energy dependence)...Democrats are attempting to undermine the spirit of the country, the military and the President, not because it is just and right but because it ostensibly will produce their main objective, power.
