Time to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq

2=by Walter Cronkite and David Krieger: "The American people no longer support the war in Iraq. The war is being carried on by a stubborn president who, like Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon during the Vietnam War, does not want to lose. But from the beginning this has been an ill-considered and poorly prosecuted war that, like the Vietnam War, has diminished respect for America. We believe President George W. Bush would like to drag the war on long enough to hand it off to another president."
