Dick,

You always make this response to long-term bases in Iraq.  I've provided web 
addresses in the past, and you pretend we're not building these things.  Why 
don't you Google 'Enduring bases Iraq' and see what you find; perhaps you'll 
see that we're building long-term bases in Iraq.

If we're paying for this war the way we did all other wars, why is it 
off-budget?  We're not paying as we go.  We're borrowing to fund this war 
and making no effort to pay for it now; it's being passed on to the next few 
generations while our government cuts taxes instead.

Define what 'finishing the job' means.  Do you think any Iraqi government 
can be legitimate if it agrees to the economic conditions imposed by Paul 
Bremer?  In case you don't remember, he privatized the Iraqi government in 
the hands of foreign - primarily US - corporations.  Looks like colonization 
to me.
