Que, you must live in another world. Iraq now produces less oil than it did under Saddam. Leaving Iraq will do wonders for Iraqi oil production, if that's what's worrying you. Chaos in the Persian Gulf? Would that be similar to the chaos predicted for Vietnam after we left there? Are you aware that Vietnam is now our good friend and ally? Let's see now. We spent a trillion dollars and counting, lost 4,000 soldiers and counting, got another 15,000 maimed and counting, caused a few hundred thousand Iraqi dead and counting. And we ended up with less Iraqi oil production than before the glorious adventure. And spawned a pretty dangerous Al Qaeda outpost in Iraq, where there was none before -- and which will be promptly wiped out by the Iraqis, once we leave. Not a good ROI, I would say. And you want to continue that?
