Who is OB and Powell? I don't know what you talking about. You started with having to do cleanup and now your logic is shifting to breaking something. what did the US break. They have a Malliki govt. They just replaced one Govt. with another.

We were irresponsible getting into Iraq. It's time to cut our losses. We have bigger priorities right here at home. We can take care of business in the middle east with an active fighter jet contingent, roboplanes, and a small, but deadly, mobile marine force. No need to do everything on the ground with the army. Our goal in the Middle East should be to destroy and contain our enemies, not rebuild with American dollars. Sounds ugly doesn't it? But remember our goal is security, not building Shangri La for the Muslims. The Chinese are a lot smarter about national security. No one messes with them, because they don't put up with it. They have no need to police the world. Anyone attacks them and they eliminate the threat and then go back to business making money.
