As someone who would be really happy to see a withdrawal of our forces from Iraq (mainly because, unlike some on here, I actually have family there), I know - from what they tell me - that Iraq improves daily. They say that the Iraqis, while not being exactly thrilled about it, do understand and accept why we are there.

It's inconvenient for the Obaaaama agenda. Cutting and running might be his favorite solution but even he admits (occasionally) that it's not necessarily the best action. Even Obaaama himself has pulled away from his original 'everybody out now' stance. IF we do not ensure that Iraq is stable before we leave then those who died (and that includes someone I care about very much) will have died for nothing. Worse, we will have to go back again.

The thing that irritates me the most is that this whole shit was completely avoidable - if we had done what the US military suggested way back in '91 and remove Saddam then. Just think how much different things would be. Big hi 5 to the UN for stupid decision of the century...
