our national defense isnt iraqi infrastructure. it isnt training iraqis and paying iraqi salaries. you are playing games now because ive already made clear i support spending for our military but not for iraqs rebuilding.
Ok great, lets take your approach (the same approach as Dennis Kucinich, I might add) and get out of Iraq.
Then the people of that nation will hate America. They will say that we broke our promise. Many of them will be easily recruited by terrorists. The country will fall into anarchy and then eventually some dictator will take over. The entire middle east will drift further into turmoil and the threat of terrorists will have grown more grave.
Sounds like a great plan to me.
