About 73 percent of Iraqis said they believe it is likely Iran will act aggressively toward their country after U.S. troops leave in December.

Fifty-one percent said they believe the security situation within Iraq will get worse when the U.S. forces leave.

These are the results of a survey conducted by YouGov-Cambridge, a partnership between the British polling group YouGov and Cambridge University. The survey interviewed 505 Iraqis from July 12-27.

The survey also found that 80 percent of Iraqis—403 of the 505 surveyed—said they believe it is likely that neighboring countries will act aggressively toward Iraq after U.S. forces leave the country.

Then they should all enlist and prepare to defend themselves. Buh-bye.

I certainly hope we adequately arm Iraq for a long standoff.

Probably, since they already have people in Iraq actively killing Iraqis and Americans.

Amen, Huck. If the Iraqis want us to stay and defend their country from Ahmawhatzisname, they have not been particularly vocal about it, have they??

Perhaps they should have thought of that when they specified December 31, 2011 as the date all U.S. forces had to be out of the country in that Status of Forces Agreement they negotiated with President Bush?

The Iranians won’t mess with the Kurds up north. Look for partition in 5 years into 3 Iraq’s, Kurd, Shia, and Sunni. We should have done right away after Fallujah.

Iran will take over Iraq and use the oil resources to help fund their war against our troops in Afganistan. Once we leave Afganistan they will use the revenues to fund terrorist attacks against our embassies around the globe. They have complete immunity granted to them by China, Russia, the European Left, and the U.S. Democratic Party, who all share the same goal of weakening America’s global influence.
