5 years isn’t a long time, and as AJ said, there currently is no “war” in Iraq. The Mission Accomplished banner was not unveiled too soon; the mission was to oust saddam, and saddam was ousted quite fast.

Liberals like you claim to care about human life, but you don’t seem to care about the wholesale slaughter that would take place if the U.S was to pull out of Iraq and leave it open to Al-Qaeda or Iranian proxies. Remember the end of the first gulf war, when the U.S encouraged the Iraqi people to rise up but then pulled out and offered no help? The Iraqi people were massacred by saddam’s forces. Not only was there a large loss of life, but it turned many people in the region bitter toward the U.S when once they had been friendly. We don’t want a repeat of that.
