Of course the US needs to get out.
Anybody who wants a free and independent Iraq knows the US needs to get out.
The Iraqis need to stand on their own two feet – othwerwise it’s a weak US client state. And we don’t want that do we?
Roger misunderstands the nature of this war.
He compares it with WWII and predictably it does not fit – but that’s because we are not comparing like with like. Even more bizarrely he compares it to…. California. (?!?!)
The fact is this is asymetric warfare and its the gradual drip drip effect. Over 1,100 US soldiers have died. Its already costing the US $200 billion and rising, and even the US can’t sustain that forever, especially since America’s time as the predominant economic power is limited.
