Got news for you, sport. Obama ha already pulled the plug on that war. DeMint doesn’t want an endless cycle of us going to war in Iraq for the next hundred years at the pleasure of whomever is occupying the White House. If we need to go to war against a country then let’s declare war and go pound them.

You're contradicting yourself. Here, libertarian backs up liberal. Nobody was conducting any war "at the pleasure of the White House"—that is, unless you believe all the anti-US propaganda about the war, coming out of places like (where?) Iran, Russia, the European Union, and other such places with enmity towards the US. All this pullback was done because of folly insofar as very fearful-looking liberal foreign policy towards Iran, and no other reason. Iran's the number-one state sponsor of terrorism on the whole planet, and allowing surrounding middle-eastern states that have themselves sponsored terrorism in the name of Islam or Islamic socialism to become more like Iran is to institute anti-US policies right on US soil . . . sport.

What, their declaring war on us isn't enough?

PS. Iran was indeed fighting against US troops in Iraq—and we're still pulling out while leaving the job unfinished in both cases. Same goes for Afghanistan, where Iranians have been assisting both the native Taliban and the Taliban in Pakistan. Do we have to wait for a declaration of war every time to protect the US and other nations? Imagine if we had to wait for such declarations for both Barbary Wars (none were made), the engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan being modern-day parallels.
