Agreeing with Dubya
Yesterday, George W Bush said that it would not be wise for US troupes to pull out of Iraq, despite the fact that he sympathises with anti-war protesters.
I agree, it would leave a nasty mess behind them, and the implications of this don't really need expounding considering recent events in London.
I felt this was worth pointing out as I have had a tendency to disagree with Bush as a matter of principle, a little bit like Tony Hawks' policy of making decisions by considering what Norman Lamont would do, then doing the opposite. Needless to say I have a differing opinion on why it is that it would be unwise to pull out, and whether we chose a good time to go in or not, but he's right - we've made our bed, and we should lie in it at least until getting up won't get too many people killed.

Damn. I thought troupes was the collective noun for monkeys.
