We have won the war and now it is time to bring our troops home.
The Iraqi's are quite capable of handling their internal terrorist problem without U.S. troops.
They aren’t capable just yet, but my hope is they will be sooner rather than later.
A guaranteed way of undoing all our progress is to leave now as hypocrats suggest.
Sounds cute, but we're not quite there yet. Right now, the only reason you think you can afford the luxury of entertaining that whim, is because we are, due to a position of strength - OUR strength, able to hand over control of areas in a deliberate, relatively seamless manner....that is, for an area inundated with terrorists dressed like civilians, and brass that'd rather prosecute our forces than hunt theirs down.
The wolf is still at their door. If we just walked away before they're ready, as Reidlosi and the Paulettes suggest, THEN they get their Vietnam aftermath, with millions, not thousands, dead, with Israel just one of many ground zeroes.
