We went in with no intention of leaving.
This was a strategic move to gain a foothold one either side of Iran.
This is not a defensive positioning, rather a offensively strategic positioning.
Either way, this was never the intent of the constitution.
The constitution allows for the defense of this nation and her borders, not a fifteen year long maneuvering against another nation state.
Sorry, but I think it's time to bring our troops home. We can no longer afford the globe trotting.
We have over seven hundred bases around the world costing the American taxpayer billions upon billions.
The American people are taxed to the hilt and it's fixin to get even worse.
Maybe you guys believe in big government, but this fella is flat damn tired of supporting the world.
While America is spending billions to support illegal alien benefits, sending billions to support other nations around the world, the Indian / Chinese are using their resources to pump out thousands of highly educated people with masters and phd’s to work in corporate America.
We are so dumb in this country. We sit idle while our country is being slowly picked apart.
Don't you people get it......our government is broke!!!
We can't afford all this world beat cop stuff any longer. Whether you support it or not, the national check book is empty.
Isn't it time to take care of America for a change.

You seem to have a lot of rage towards our presence in Iraq, yet no comments on the other issues you brought up as comparisons. So it's OK with you that we support the illeagal aliens. It;s OK to bail out the banking and auto industries. It's OK to spend money that will not only tax you and I to death, but our grandchildren as well ????
The true defense of America does not start at the Jersey shoreline. This great country needs to be defended not only from inside it's borders, but outside it's borders as well. The sooner you understand that, the sooner you will see the bigger picture.
The intent of the Constitution didn’t include nuclear weapons, crazy Islamic leaders and followers who are all of 12 hours away by airplane from delivering such weapons.
I can’t believe I’m seeing what I’m seeing in this thread, but isolationism is the SUREST way to get people IN THE UNITED STATES killed.
