I'm deep into researching my preemptive war paper, and I came across a quote that's interesting to read, eight years later.

“Just three days removed from these events, Americans do not yet have
the distance of history. But our responsibility to history is already clear:
to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil. War has been
waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful,
but fierce when stirred to anger. The conflict was begun on the timing and terms
of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing.”

President Bush
Washington, D.C. (The National Cathedral)
September 14, 2001


And thank the Great Gazoo for the distance of history. Would that you'd had the benefit of his guidance, Mr. Bush.

This. :D It's not over because Americans aren't done with you yet, Iraq.

That response didn't make much sense. Damn all-nighter. So:

Clearly they don't want to leave.
