“It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.”

It’s about time.

I’d prefer our message to our Allies in Iraq and the rest of the Muslim world have been Grinnell’s Harry Hopkins words to Churchill on Jan 15, 1941 –almost a year before the US joined Britian in War against Hitler at a time it was unclear the American people would help–

Hopkins got up and turning to Chruchill, said: “I suppose you wish to know what I amg goint to say to President Roosevelt on my return. Well, I’m going to quoe you one verse from that Book of Books in the truth of which Mr. Johnston’s mother and my own Scottish mother were brought up.”

Hopkins then quoted: “Whither thou goest, I will go; and where dhou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” Then he added, very quietly, “Even to the end.”
