In previous columns, Mr. Ezeanyim rags on President Bush for getting us into a quagmire with no end in sight. Now, he is criticizing him for taking steps to transfer power to the Iraqis and greatly reduce our role in Iraq, eventually ending our presence there.
Keep in mind, the U.S. military will not just pick up and leave on June 29. It will remain to back the new government until it can take care of itself and its people. Steps like this must be taken or we will be there forever, proving cretins like Kerry, Kennedy and Mr. Ezeanyim correct through our inaction. If, as he says, this turnover is so risky, why would Bush want to stick to the June 30 deadline with the election coming up? You should be overjoyed - this is a win-win situation for liberals. If the turnover goes well, then our troops come home sooner, so the "quagmire" will be over and liberals won't have to waste their breath wailing about it and they can then go grandstand over something else. If, however, the transferring of sovereignty to Iraqis turns into a blood bath, the people will punish Bush for it in the voting booth, whether justified or not.
