In light of the terror plots that have been broken up, it's not a good idea to talk about "illegal" wire tapping. It makes the democrat party look very weak on the defense of this nation. And it will be played out again & again by the Republican party.

Russ Fiengold has no chance to win the democrat nomination. He's too far left on many issues.

There is absolutely no scenario that would benefit the United States by leaving Iraq at this time, or giving a deadline for departure. It would only strenghten the resolve of the terrorists & insurgents to stay in the fight, & would mean a major victory to them. This only means more terrorist attacks across the globe.

The only way is to win in Iraq. By staying on course to build up & train the Iraqi military & security forces, so they can defend their own country.
