Sen. Kit Bond is again turning up his rhetoric against Democrats pushing for a legislative end to the war in Iraq."The new majority in the Senate is using critical legislation to tray and force retreat and defeat in Iraq," said Sen. Bond, in comments that target Senate Democrats for their proposed amendments to the Defense Authorization bill.
"There may be short-term political benefits to politicians if Congress orders retreat but our intelligence services have warned us of the dangers of a precipitous withdrawal," Bond said.
Bond maintains that if the United States leaves before Iraqi army and police can maintain security, killings and violence would significantly increase.
Bond said the new surge strategy in Iraq is showing signs of progress, and pointed to his recent visit in the Al-Anbar provice. He said "there has been a decrease in sectarian violence, greater tribal cooperation and an increase in weapons cache discoveries."

Democrats are not calling for a "retreat and defeat." Democrats realize we won in Iraq. Bush himself claimed "mission accomplished." We have overthrown the the government, caught Saddam, and the country has had elections... lets go.
"Bond maintains that if the United States leaves before Iraqi army and police can maintain security, killings and violence would significantly increase."
So what? It's not our problem. Hand them over their country. They don't want us there.
