This is exactly where I'm at. I don't know why this is disastrous. It looks to me like the Democrats are playing off of the fears of the Republicans on this one.

I actually tend to agree with Bush on this one --- if you withdraw now, you have set back relations with Arab countries in a HUGE way. That set-back is, it seems to me, a greater harm than the potential risk.

Perhaps the initial decision was incorrect, again I don't know, but to withdraw now...(this all sounds very familiar)
