The media have been waiting for an Iraqi "Tet" for a while. In October 2004, dozens of news stories talked about the enemy's Tet strategy in Iraq. Attacks did spike before the presidential election, but not enough to derail Bush's victory. Now, the Tet talk is back with the president's latest interview on ABC News. But what if the enemy does execute synchronized major attacks around Iraq, especially hitting targets inside the Green Zone, before or even after the election? Democrats will use the images, which the media will widely broadcast, to press for the large-scale withdrawal of US troops. But what will Republicans do? President Clinton said during his tirade on Fox News that some Republicans wanted him to withdraw US troops immediately after the Mogadishu ambush. That's true. Too many did call for their immediate withdrawal, something Clinton rightly refused to do. U.S. troops were pulled out a few months later -- a withdrawal bin Ladin would later use as a recruiting tool for al Qaeda. Today, should substantial "let's get out fast" panic set in among Republicans following an Iraqi Tet, they will deserve to be a minority party.
