A blast from the past.
It’s criminal, all the American blood and treasure has been wasted.
I’m trying to figure out why Bush would agree to a complete withdrawal. We left soldiers in Japan, Germany, Korea, etc., and peace has ensued. In 2008, it was looking more and more peaceful; from an average of around 800 US deaths a year to around 140 (safer than Chicago). Everywhere we have a permanent presence, there is stability and prosperity. Surely Bush had an out somewhere in the SOFA agreement; I just cannot find it yet.
