I’m getting really concerned that the Iraqis will not step up an shoulder the load.
They won’t do it. The groups are manuevering for advantage not cooperation. They know the US will leave eventually.
I’m afraid that the Iraqis will end up being their own worst enemy, along with the “America-is-the-root-of-all-problems” Democrats.
25-30 years of total despotic rule cannot be overcome in 5 years.
We won the war, but lost the occupation in the first 6 months. After that, we were never able to recover.
