   [1]Tucker:

     So we're going to send in 20,000 more troops. Why? To disarm the
     Shi'ite militia. These are the people we supposedly went in to
     liberate!

   Hell, I don't know what to do and I sure don't want to see tens of
   thousands of Iraqis die in an all-out civil war and I definitely don't
   want to sell out the Kurds and I absolutely don't want this to
   mushroom into a regional conflict, but what is the point of the 20,000
   other than Bush trying to make it to November, 2008 without having to
   really deal with this mess?
   In the article, Tucker offers one great suggestion - let the Iraqis
   vote. Do we stay or do we go? They say we stay, we get a renewed
   commitment from them and the rest of the world and maybe they get
   serious about providing for their own security. They say we go, we
   leave. Simple as that. The chips are going to fall where they may.
   They ought to fall on Bush's watch.
