Bush has killed over 3000 troops for a pack of lies, and now that Feingold suggests that we bring them home, suddenly he's the bad guy. The fevered scenario VX describes is wacko. Our guys are getting popped because they're going out on patrols trying to engage the militias and insurgents. If we stop doing that, and instead protect ourselves in an orderly base shutdown and retreat, casualties will be lower. Why would the bad guys be trying to get into a fight as we leave?

Anything to save the Dear Leader's ego for you guys is fine, no matter how many Americans it kills.
