I do not accept the fact that the Iraqi military cannot contain the terrorists in their country. With our support, Iraq is pulling itself together. Following the election, we will see the Iraqi military move to complete lockdowns on the terrorist networks left in Fallujah.

The safe havens exist in Iraq because Islamic leaders have been supporting the terrorists. That support does not exist in Iraq anymore. The Islamic leaders must become vigilent about their religious fanatics from killing Islamic outsiders.

I don't think the US military is quite as stretched as you might assume. I don't think a draft would be necessary for the diminishing role of US support in Iraq once they get past their own elections. In fact, I think that the progress Bush and Cheney provided within Iraq gives Kerry a good chance of success in post election Iraq.

I limit the scope of my concerns to the next set of problems before us. What if there are no more dangerous terror networks left in Iraq once we get past Fallujah? What if the Iraqi people decide they will no longer tolerate the presence of suicide bombers in their neighborhoods and turn them into the police? The terrorists are all waving red flags to call attention to themselves. Once identified, it doesn't take that long to send in the Iraqi military to round up the terrorists.
