We need to leave an Iraq that is not a breeding ground for terrorists and is a better place than when we invaded. We need to help the Iraqis develop a sense of prosperity so that they have something to work for and something to give their children. Iraqis need jobs and oil revenue. They need to reduce the rampant corruption and find meaningful work We can help with that while respecting their traditions and beliefs.

You seem to have confused the Military with Social Services.

The military is good at 2 things: Killing people and breaking things.

They aren't social workers with machine guns.

This idiotic Neo-Wilsonian Globo-Socialist Nation Building Crap is what is killing us in Iraq.

I think it is you who are confused. The electorate has just spoken and they want us out, honorably, from Iraq. Get used to what I am suggesting - 'cause that is much more likely to be what happens than for us to kill more people and break more things.

There were no WMD's. That was a blow to our reasoning for going in there. Now the voters are very unhappy with our young men and women dying over there and no end in sight.

Americans do not like war. They want it over with with the least amount of casualites and damage. The people rule in America and what needs to happen in Iraq is not more killing - but working with the Iraqis realistically - with respect toward who they are - with the goal of leaving them with a system that will not be a breeding ground for terrorists and is a better place than the one we invaded.
