Associated Press<\/a> released this story a few minutes ago announcing that the White House is certifying the timetable withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq;<\/p>\n

But The Guardian<\/a> says al Qaeda might be making a come back;<\/p>\n

Al-Qaida is attempting to make a comeback in Iraq by enticing scores of former Sunni allies to rejoin the terrorist group by paying them more than the monthly salary they currently receive from the government, two key US-backed militia leaders have told the Guardian.<\/p>\n

They said al-Qaida leaders were exploiting the imminent departure of US fighting troops to ramp up a membership drive, in an attempt to show that they are still a powerful force in the country after seven years of war.<\/p>\n

Al-Qaida is also thought to be moving to take advantage of a power vacuum created by continuing political instability in Iraq, which remains without a functional government more than five months after a general election.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So I wonder which is the right answer. Are the Democrats going to abandon the Iraqis like they did the South Vietnamese (yes, the Republicans abandoned the South Vietnamese, too for political expediency). I have a sense that we’ve been here before.<\/p>\n
