And I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that we will see much more evidence to support this conclusion in the coming days, weeks, and months.

The real question is, if you ask me, does the world want to have another Iran or another Lebanon?
I agree with you. I just don't see why we should care. Why should we die for a country that serves us little interest but oil? The Iraqis don't want us there. It is their country, we should leave.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.
