We should have stated pulling out when they had their first free election...after that they should have won or lost freedom on their own...purple fingers and we have done our job..
News coverage for the last year or so by people who aren't total MSM liardrones, indicates the Iraqis are on the same page and pretty much get it.
If we had kept a few people there, it would have been less for "training" than as a tag on the IRGC mouth-breathers across the border.
We didn't waste our time. "Training" can take place in Saudi, Jordan, Qatar, wherever. We don't have to have guys hanging out waiting for a Sadr Brigade truck bomber to drive up. Everyone should take a chill pill. This can be worked out (Obozo won't want to work out, but that's another problem, all ours).
