Reaction: No safe exit from Iraq?

CNN.com ran a report today that argued there is no safe, responsible exit from Iraq. I completely agree with them on that note. As a direct result of our disastrous efforts in Iraq, we've merely created a safe-haven for terrorist training camps and as the U.S. General points out a "power vacuum." However, these issues can be resolved even with a time line for troop withdrawal. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think withdrawal is a bad idea (for many of the reasons outlined in this article), but withdrawal does not prevent these problems from being solved. I'd love to see President Bush respond to an article like this and explain (truthfully) what kind of progress we're making on these fronts. These are going to be some of the serious issues the Iraqi people face when we finally do decide to leave, so it's important to get started on them now.
