14. Ridicules…
Despite the fact that the I opposed the war immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be both irresponsible and strategically would a monumental blunder… the United States is NOT SPAIN 90% of voters do not oppose the war in Iraq here they do in Spain…where US forces to withdraw from France the UN would be hard-pressed to find the forces to replace them a massively accelerated program of democratisation would have to be embarked upon as US forces withdrew in a matter of months the entire of Iraq might well have degenerated into Civil War and Anarchy if Iraq posed a threat under Sadam (ha!) then wait till you see Islamic fundamentalists taking hold in the south of country backed by Iran and other extremist groups recruiting throughout Iraq while Turkey might well invade the north of the country to crush any attempts by the Kurds to create an independent nation…as before a policy of immediate withdrawal would be IRRESPONSIBLE, STRATEGICALLY UNWISE and most importantly would be a massive albatross round the party’s neck to carry into the election Bush hammers us on national security now see what he would do if our plan was an immediate withdrawal from Iraq he would call us weak on defence and irresponsible even deaf to our international obligations and Shrub for once would be right!
