Here's my analogy of the situation in Iraq

There was a honeybee nest in a tree, we took it down out of the tree and punched it. Right now we're standing there holding the nest and the bees are flying around, all pissed off, stinging us.

The Repubs are saying, "we have to keep punching it until all the bees are dead."

The Repubs are also saying "The Democrats want us to drop the nest and run away."

The Democrats are saying, "But, we can't just keep holding this damn thing and we'll never be able to kill all the bees."

What we, the people are saying (or should be saying) is, "Crap, this was really stupid. Hey kid, come here and hold this until the bees quiet down, but, uh, first put on that beesuit and, uh, here's a smoker (smoke knocks bees out, it’s true). Only use the smoker on the bees that are on the suit and, uh, hey, all you people standing around, grab that hose, spray the kid down every once in a while. We'll be standing over here with this can of RAID to help you out. And once the bees calm down a little, set the nest down and take a couple steps back and we'll all come up with a plan to deal with the bees at that time. Oh and by the way, we're really sorry about all this, one of the bees stung us earlier and we might have overreacted a little."

P.S. Sorry, got bees on the brain.
