So America has no strategy. If you do not have a plan towards victory, don't put boots on the ground. Remember, America's involvement in Vietnam began with training troops.

I agree.

What about boots in the sky? I somewhat doubt that these pilots are wearing vibram 5-fingers.

Well, put these hundreds more US troops in harm's way, and let them become bait. Once some of them die, we can be whipped into a pro - war frenzy.

That is the "strategy."

warmongers.

Where is CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS? Where are their questions about our "exit strategy"? That term was leading news for nearly 2 years during the Bush administration. With Obozo....crickets. The liberal media doesn't know what to do with their creation.

They know what their priorities are. They are busy showing pictures of that 14 year old girl in her bikini, together with interviews with the usual crew of loud-mouth racial-agitator types.

National security, terrorism and war in the Middle East? That is so 2006.

The GOP isn't President of the United States and sending even more troops back to Iraq. Why is it after 6 years you STILL refuse to hold Obama accountable for any of his actions and don't expect him to man up and act like he's the leader of the country?

When is the left going to hold Obama accountable for "America was leaving behind a "sovereign, stable and independent Iraq."? You people spent YEARS hounding Bush for 'mission accomplished' but give Obama a pass on everything, including sending troops BACK to Iraq.

It is past time for us to leave the entire Middle East to its own fate. We need to pull all of our troops out of the area as well as stop all military or other aid. Israel can take care of its self and the Saudis can take care of everyone else.

Most likely the entire region will turn into a massive bloodbath but if we leave it will not be our blood but theirs. I do not believe it is our moral duty to stop idiots from killing each other. It is also not our duty to protect private investment from suffering from foolish investments. It is definitely not our job to protect a hideously tyrannical feudal absurdity from their own culture.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Getting us back in that mess over there will be Obama's greatest failure. I'd say when will we learn, but we have learned. We just don't care. Anything for money.

We can fight them here, or we can fight them there. But fight them we will.
