Iraq Withdrawl

Something I haven't seen widely reported is Senator Carl Levin's (D-MI) remarks on AMC News' "This Week".

"If within the next six to eight weeks, you do not create a government of national unity, if you continue to squabble, if you continue to fiddle while Baghdad burns, then we are going to have to reassess our presence," Senator Carl Levin, the top Democrat on the powerful
Senate Armed Services Committee, said.

Asked, in an interview with ABC News television's "This Week" program, if this position represented a warning that the US military could be withdrawn from Iraq, Levin replied: "Exactly."

Of course there was a Republican security advisor, Stephen Hadley, saying this is an "opportunity" for the country to unite. (quotation marks not mine)

Hell yes. They can unite to blow up Western stores or maybe Christian churches.
