Well, at least you're not claiming it is a "THREE TRILLION DOLLLAR WAR" anymore.


*Iran will have increased influence with it's new buddy Iraq


I think that's okay as long as it isn't Ahmadeninjad. Most of Iran isn't a problem.

*We won't get the military bases the Neo's coveted after getting thrown out of Saudi Arabia we're getting thrown out of Iraq

Let's not confuse negotiating tactics with facts, and let's not confuse unconfirmed reports from the liberal media with truth.

*We're still deficit spending $Billion on Iraqi infrastructure while Iraq runs a huge budget surplus

We are spending money in Iraq but wars cost money. Our congress (a primarily liberal one) has, from minute one, approved these expenditures, so apparently, everyone agrees the money should be spent.

*China is getting the new Iraqi oil contracts

Okay, so you agree "No Blood For Oil" was a stupid thing to have said?

*The Iraqi government is turning on the militias that removed AQ; the sectarian violence isn't over, it's just starting

Is this the Obama "The Surge Didn't Solve the Problem" claim?

*The debt from this war will hit the prosperity of an entire generation

Nonsense. Our country can handle a sub-trillion dollar war with ease. The thing that is killing us is outflow of petroleum money on a weekly basis.

*The US has lost the respect of most of the world, we are no longer considered the first benevolent super power


Nope, not until they need us. But when anyone is being pushed around, when anyone needs help, they aren't looking to Russia, Old Europe, or anyone else. They come to US.
