37 years in the Marines, retired Colonel. That puts him in the category of "military expert" by default.

Remember when all the dems who voted for the war tried to backpeddle later by using the excuse that Bush had lied to them? Well, here was their chance to clarify their position - and it was against wihdrawal.

One thing has little to do with the other. Just because you are not in favor of withdrawal does not mean that one would have voted for the war in the first place, or even supports it fully. What it means is that they believe that leaving immediately will have a negative impact on the Iraqi people--not that they weren't lied to to get them to support a war, or that they in all actually support action in Iraq.
