Guest opinion: It is time to leave Iraq (Billings Gazette)

[struggle4progress]

<snip> The objections to a U.S. withdrawal are not persuasive.

First, we are told that the coming elections are a turning point. We've been told that before.

The death of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay, was supposed to be a turning point. The capture of Saddam himself was supposed to be a turning point. The transfer of power at the end of June was supposed to be a turning point. The taking back of Fallujah was supposed to be a turning point.

The only turning point will be when the United States turns around and leaves. <snip>
