And to claim nation building as a valid justification is absolutely contrary to sound conservative thought. Fail VDH

Your blind denial of the politics in the middle east region and lack of media disclosure of the true intent of our involvement in Iraq is a classic example of the "Low information voter" syndrome.

We now have an alliance with Iraq that includes unrestricted air-space for our planes as well as already constructed landing strips for our fighters and currently abandoned military barracks ready to house our land forces when the inevitable war breaks out between the Islamofascists in that region and Israel.

Denial isn't a river bro, there is a war coming in the middle east and our access to Iraq will be the deciding factor in its outcome.......

[Last of the Mohicans]

The Iraq War killed 190,000 Iraqis, 70 percent of whom were civilians, not to mention the 4,500 U.S. service members who lost their lives and the tens of thousands who returned wounded in body, mind, and spirit. The Iraq War has cost between $3-4 trillion, and will cost the U.S. taxpayer trillions more in continued veteran benefits. I think a few bases in Iraq are hardly worth that cost given the availability of others in nearby countries. And we had unrestricted airspace over Iraq before the Iraq War.
