You manage to miss the point even if its a how air balloon...money down the drain, lives lost, nothing accomplished but the further distabilization of a troubled region.


Iraq is more stable TODAY than it was when we got there. It will be MORE STABLE than it is now when we finally get out.

Fewer people are losing their lives to violence in Iraq today than when we arrived. The current government is at LEAST having conversations with its neighbors, there is ZERO danger of it ATTACKING its neighbors (as Saddam did before the Gulf War, and as would have happened the instant we left the region, had Saddam not been removed), and the threat of another generation of dictatorship in Iraq is gone.

No right-thinking person could call it less stable today than when we invaded.
