Go home, illegal immigrants. You want to come back? Fine, we have nothing against you personally, just come back legally. In the meantime, get out and stay out.
You think Al-Qaeda and the "insurgents" realize that once we do leave Iraq that they are going to last about a week?
We follow rules. The heavily-armed and vengeance-seeking Iraqis who will be 100% in charge when we leave will not be so constrained, and they have lost friends, neighbors and family to the forces of darkness. Many of them will be Shi'ites and Kurds with old scores to settle from back in Saddam's days.
When we pull out it's going to be a really bad time to be a bad guy.
We will systematically undo all the damage these Communists (call them what they are) have done to our country. We routed international Communism; now we will use the same weapons, courage and determination, to rout domestic Communism.

And that's standard policy for such people in such positions. This guy needs to shut up and sit down. Alternatively, if he wants to talk about political issues that badly then he needs to quit his government job first, then he can talk all that he wants.
He just can't use his government job for a bully pulpit.
I was appalled by the deal they cut with repressive Communist China. We should all be using every bit of leverage at our disposal to force China to become open, civilized, and democratic, and none of us should ever do anything that helps that totalitarian regime to stay in power.
