Okay, let's pretend for a minute that the dems get their way, and they vote for a 4-6 month complete withdrawl from iraq. bush vetoes, and due to constituency pressure, 2/3 of congress votes on the ovverride and it becomes official: The US will leave Iraq by July 2007.
Well, we all know the socioeconomic reasons for invading afghan and iraq and possible eventual of Iran. Without our *mgmt* of their oil resources, the US economy will take a monster hit. Definitely a recession, and possibly a depression.
If Bush got on a mic and basically told the world we were in the war to keep our economy afloat and begged for their support, what would happen? What would the US population do? What would other world leaders do?
