Nobody really knows if there would be a whole lot more if we pulled out, or a whole lot less if we never went it. It's all speculation, and a matter of opinion.

No, it's a matter of general knowledge. If the US were to leave completely, the shiites and sunnis would collaspe against each other and a civil war would result (many times greater than current).

but then again, in terms of cost/benefits for US...


Iraq will continue to be Iraq until we end the support from Syria and Iran. The solution is blatantly clear...

Me too.

The first pic in the series is of a young widow at her husbands grave. Have seen so much of it over the past few years I really dont feel it anymore.
I think I've been a civilian too long. I have an interest for 5 minutes and then I go on with my life.

Am I running for a public office or something? :confused:

Not finding WMD was a huge surprise, since we knew where they were:

We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. - Donald Rumsfeld

Good luck with that. We put the Shiites in Iraq back in power; their Shiite neigbors in Iran will support them until the end of time.

Can't wait to hear it.

But if it's government sanctioned executions, (think death penalty) then it's not lynching...:D
