Tell you what. Get your bags packed then. One cannot make such a suggestion unless they're willing to follow through on it themselves.
BTW, I'm sure the British and the French felt that way themselves at some time in the past 300 years. Guess where they are now? Sitting at home in their own countries. An empire of this size simply cannot last.
The muzzies can like it or lump it.
Yes they've only been around 1200 years or so. They've seen empires come and seen them go. All of them stating they would have a presence in the ME for a long, long time. A nation cannot hold a territory over an extended period of time without support from the indigenous population. Contrary to Fox News, the majority of the population would not support an extended stay of American forces. It's been less than 4 years and the Parliament is already discussing asking the US to leave? Doesn't matter where the idea came from, the fact that it's even being discussed by the Iraqi government does not bode well for your hopes
and you have the gift of prophecy?
