An 8-minute video about Iraq you need to watch:
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/video/page/0,,1927660,00.html >
Basically, it's a disaster. Above you see members of the Iraqi Army
under arrest for apparently attacking US troops. Those would be the
guys we're relying on to "stand up" so we can "stand down."

America needs a higher grade of patriotism. It is not patriotic to
ignore violations of the constitution. It is not patriotic to "look
the other way" when politicians ravage rights. It is not patriotic
to pretend that politicians are entitled to all the power they can
grab, at least until they get impeached or indicted. It is not
patriotic to give the benefit of the doubt to people trying to shackle you.
Americans must begin to think again as free citizens, and not like
wholly owned subsidiaries of Washington. We will know that
Americans have regained the right perspective towards Washington
when a negligent congressman dreads a public meeting with his
constituents the same way the average citizen anticipates an IRS audit.
