This Iraq venture can all fall apart within a short time, simply because of the nature of the Iraqis and their monumental honor and face saving culture. I always think back to opinions illustrated is polls of the Iraqi people and interviews of individuals soon after Baghdad fell in 2003. They showed, over and over:

1. Iraqis were glad Sadddam was gone.

2. It was humiliating that Americans had to do it.

3. They thought American troops should leave ASAP.

Within that sort of thinking is room for the Iraqis to create, themselves, all sorts of disastrous outcomes for their country once American influence and control is removed.

If preserving some of their honor is more important than working with the Americans until they have firm control of their own security, then anything can happen after we leave and the US sacrifice will have been wasted.

And Obama is the perfect stooge to facilitate a disastrous outcome. It’s a perfect set-up for Al Qaeda and other terrorists to pull back some and regroup until the Americans depart.

Gee...The media is all ready talking about a visit that hasn't occured...conversations with OUR military which hasn't occurred...and some kind of victory which Obama CAN NEVER BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR...because he was against the war to start with.

Obama wants the money for "Communism" aka reparations. WE MUST ALL BE EQUAL.....WITHOUT DOING EQUAL WORK.
