The GOP-controlled Senate on Thursday rejected Democratic calls to start withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq by year’s end, as the two parties sought to define their election-year positions on a war that has grown increasingly unpopular.
"Withdrawal is not an option. Surrender is not a solution," declared Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, who characterized Democrats as defeatists wanting to abandon Iraq before the mission is complete.

well going in there was a waste of troops money and supplies in the first place. america is knee deep in its own mess. not only that but iraq had never layed a finger on the u.s. anyway. it was al quieda who did the attacking. not iraq. going into iraq was kind of a dumb idea in the first place
