When we leave, if there is not a suitable Iraqi force in place, a vacuum will be left and some WILL fill it. If Iraq is still unable to defend it's self then we lose the ally. AlQ raises a flag or Iran gets satisfaction for the long war with Iraq.
Do you not realize that? Is that your idea of a good result?
There are things that quippy lines and just quitting don't address. Long hard work yields long hard results. Half done is a waste of time, money, and in this case lives.
Do you believe that AlQ is our enemy and still wants to inflict as much damage on America via American dead as possible?
Do you believe they are satisfied with being evicted from Afghanistan, then Iraq, and now getting killed in Pakistan?
Do you believe they are winning or losing their war on us?
Do you believe they are now biding their time to see if the United States will continue hunting them down and killing them after the '08 election.
Or do you believe this is all just scare tactics and money grubbing. That AlQ will go off the grid and join Obama in unity and change.
That Iraq left undefended and yet unable to defend it's self will be left alone.
That our leaving won't be a declared victory for AlQ.
Few things are as serious as war. Top spot. Quippy lines and quitting contribute nothing.
What do you REALLY believe is REALLY the very serious reality of the situation.....
