that's the entire question that needs to be answered, not specifically iraq. it pertains to the WOT in general. how do you have a strategy to protect the homeland when it's soft underbelly is completely exposed? everyone knows you cant win while only having a good offense...you need a good DEFENSE.
closing the borders is a part of that. i just dont understand why it's so hard for these elites in washington to figure out, i want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
