questions i wish we'd asked sooner, #01

it seems like virtually every day i hear a caller to washington journal say "if we pull out of iraq, they'll come over here."

i wish folks like them would take their heads out from under their pillows, inhale some fresh air for a change, and take a good look around at the real world for once in their pitiful unexamined lives.

pulling out of iraq doesn't mean pulling out of the world and hiding under our beds. the day we pull out of iraq is the day we'll be free to bring all our troops and all our resources to bear on hunting down osama (and all terrorists).

so you tell me:

if you were bin laden, would you want us to pull out of iraq
