Well, that pretty much does it. It's fairly obvious now that Iraq is a lost cause. If you can't win over the support of the populace, and the new government is divided and full of corruption, then you're just wasting your time. That's what we're doing now. But the worst part is that the longer we drag this out, the more soldiers and money we throw down the drain.
And thanks to good old bush'e boy, we're going to be stuck in this nightmare for at least another year, because he has openly stated that there will be no pullout as long as he's president.
Looks like its going to be another great year for the men and women of our armed services.

Well considering our Presidents favorite company Halliburton is making billions from the war why would we ever leave? Its their way or siphoning money from the American people and they're essentially using the war to launder the money. We're not exactly the right people to liberate a foreign country like Iraq when our government is so distastefully corrupt ...someone should liberate us from them...
