Are you refering to this? I answered that.
You answered with they'll, "Probably have a civil war" like that wasn't obvious, and I say mention the Americans are there to prevent that.
They're there now trying to stop civil war and get a country back on their feet. There's nothing wishy-washy about that statement at all.
They knew that before they went in, hell, we all knew that during the first Gulf War in '91 because the question of a "power vaccuum" was brought up even then.
Even the Left side of blogsphere agrees why the Americans are there now.

ERIK GUSTAFSON: Well, that's one thing I want to make very clear. It's not about being for or against withdrawal. The Education for Peace in Iraq Center, of course, wants to see US forces withdraw and to see a process that moves in that direction. However, the question is whether or not US forces can leave tomorrow. And the answer is, no. Iraq's security forces are insufficient to provide the security that the Iraqi people need. We would leave a tremendous vacuum behind. And all of the Iraqis that I talked to, while there is -- I mean, they are unanimous in wanting to see Americans leave and wanting to see the Bush Administration make a declaration that the US has no claim on the resources or territory of Iraq, which the administration still refuses to do. But in terms of pulling out tomorrow, most Iraqis fear the chaos, fear what would happen next. They know that many of their families, their neighborhoods are not secure. There aren’t police to be able to maintain the law and order that's required. And there aren't security forces to guard against a tremendous power vacuum. The question would be, who would step into the power vacuum? We have terrorism going on in Iraq. We have militias, Islamist fundamentalist militias. Is that what we're going to pass Iraq's future on to? I don't think so. I think that there has to be a process.

The arguement isn't so "backtracking, wishy-washy, [and] crapola" now is it??

Hey moron, ONCE AGAIN, my post had absolutely nothing at all to do with Bush. So don't group me with anyone else because my post was directed only at you and had nothing whatsoever to do with anything BUT the post I was responding to.
Is that really so difficult to understand?
And it really does pain me to be such a jerk like this, but I don't see any other way of getting through that amazingly dense skull of yours.

And if you actually read what's in front of you, you'd see clearly that I wasn't talking about Bush; I was talking about me having to explain myself every. fucking. post.
