re: If we pull out, then the Saudis, Iranians and Turks move in.
$200 per barrel oil might be just a "blip" on the way to radicalization of Saudi Arabia and ALL OUT radicalization of Iran.
Russia and Venezuaela could become the economic SUPERPOWERS of the world, with all the "good" stuff that would entail.

All possible, no doubt. This was the worst policy decision in US history.

But what do we accomplish by staying? Do you really think that there is a light at the end of this tunnel? I personally think it can only get worse.

Listen; I've struggled with this. If, strictly looking forward, I could see some ray of hope, I would (reluctantly) say we should keep our troops there, dying at 100 a month. Becuase it likely will be a disaster when we leave. And a huge disaster for our country.

So tell me about how it's going to get better. I'll grasp at any ray of hope.
