Iraq was a stable if dysfunctional nation,
we took out the leadership and have an obligation to stick around
till a new leadership is formed.
To do otherwise would be morally reprehensible.
ABSOLUTELY NOT !
I reject that out-of-hand.
We went there for defensive purposes.
W is the President of the United States.
He is
NOT the president of Iraq,
and he owes
NO ALLEGIANCE to Iraq.
He shoud have simply left Iraq in shambles
and brought the troops home, ASAP after overthrowing Saddam,
for the troops' safety and to save n support American taxpayers.
To me, that is obvious.
We shoud have stayed only long enuf to take reparations from the oil.
(We have yet to take the first drop thereof.)
If
W had done that,
we 'd have an extra dollar or 2 to jingle in our jeans.
Maybe we coud use it.
