"[T]he United States has not 'lost' and cannot 'lose' Iraq. It was never ours in the first place....
"But what now? After four years of war, more than 350 billion dollars spent and 3,363 US soldiers killed and 24,310 wounded, it seems increasingly obvious that an Iraqi political settlement cannot be achieved in the shadow of an indefinite foreign occupation....
"Having invested so much in Iraq, Americans are likely to find disengagement almost as painful as war. But the longer we delay planning for the inevitable, the worse the outcome is likely to be."
"The time has come to leave."
Bring them home: Iraqis need political reconciliation, not occupation; and U.S. troops shouldn't referee a civil war.

When I read the thread title I was hoping it meant Bush out of office.
