Withdrawal of Troops From Iraq

Last night Hillary and Barack had a debate...

 

..."And Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama said that as president, they would execute promises to begin the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, even if their military commanders at the time advised them that it would be wiser to keep troops on the ground."

I really like Barack Obama, but this is probably one of the stupidest things that a president could do. Who do they think will fill the void that we leave?

 

There are many answers. As in Afghanistan, it could be radical Muslims like the Taliban, who claimed that the missiles and bombs that routed the Russians out of their country were sent by God when in fact they were paid for and shipped there by the United States. The Taliban filled the void we left when that country was left with a population of poor, uneducated kids to run it, after the US provided bombs but not education or any other aid to help that country rebuild. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And then what do we find ourselves doing years later? Fighting the terrorists that that situation helped create; that our own short sightedness created.

 

And let's not forget that Iran would love to form a strong partnership with Iraq. Oh and did I mention that Iran is not a fan of the United States? And isn't Russia a friend of Iran's? And aren't they also not fans of the US?

 

WHY DON'T WE JUST GO GET A GUN AND SHOOT OURSELVES WHILE WE'RE AT IT? Cause THAT'S what doing this would do to us!

 

I wish the American public were not so stupid and fickle. As soon as the Iraq war became real, as soon as it was no longer entertaining, but dirty and murderous, which is the reality of war, the American public suddenly no longer wanted to fight the war. WE ARE LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN! And we should be ashamed of ourselves.

 

Maybe we shouldn't have gone into Iraq, but that was what the American public wanted, so that's what we got. Now that it no longer serves as entertainment, we want to just abandon the citizenry of Iraq. We want to stop rebuilding the country we helped destroy. Rebuilding stuff isn't fun, is it? Not nearly as entertaining. Right my fellow Americans?
