Amusing post!

Why?<

Perhaps you'd like to consider the medium-term and long-term consequences of this, for example effects on oil supply and the economy, to name but two.

Relax, US troop losses are minimal, progress is being made on the political front - where it really counts. And military considerations must always be totally subordinate to political ones. Otherwise, all casualties will be in vain. Simple, really.

Consider this. 1.5 billion dollars every single week. Is that consequential enough for ya. Lets call that one mid term.

Long term is Iran, in that Iran is trying to get into the Nuke Club. And if we stay in Iraq playing Nam redux, we will end up with a Nuclear Iran.

Time is not on our side. We need to take out Syria and Iran. Do that and you'll have plenty of oil, don't and Iran could end up nuking a couple of Persian Gulf neighbors like Kuwait. THAT would cause real oil problems.
