Re: Americans and Brits label Germans as "cowards"
Whatever they say next, the reality is that they are in more trouble than they can bargain for. You can be sure that if they could withdraw from Iraq no they would do it in no time.
Chance are that Iraq will be the grave of America. They can't move forwards nor backwards. If they stay, they lose. If the go, they lose. It is not the military defeat or victory that counts now.
If you invade a country you do it with all of the consequences. You don't expect the invaded people to cheer you up. How much of an idiot must one be to think so? So, right. If you don't want it, don't start it.
