Iraq became a no-win situation when we decided to nation-build with our military instead of doing what our military does best.

NOT SO.

They, the U.S. troops will always be less than desirable to those, like the radical Shia militia leader Sadr, who want to use violence to pressure others to bend to their way.

Your statement serves only such people, because it telescopes their excuses about the American troops into a national sentiment - which it isn’t.

Even in Sadr City, the U.S. troops are in joint patrols with the Iraqi forces.

Sadr will always have complaints and will always use the U.S. forces as his excuse. It’s in his political DNA with his ties to Iran.

So, my question is, why do YOU parrot his excuse????
