Navy Adm. Michael Mullen, picked as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned U.S. lawmakers unhappy with the conflict against seeking a rapid pullout from Iraq, saying it could turn the country into a "caldron."
I have a couple of questions about that. One, they keep telling us it could turn into a nightmare over there if we leave, and I just wonder what they think it is now; and two, since when did we drop the u from cauldron?
"I do think we will be there for years, not months," Mullen told the Senate Armed Services Committee at his confirmation hearing. "But I don't see it (Iraq) as a permanent -- you know, on a permanent base at this point."
At this point.
