ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, we should never have fallen for that bastard's nine hundred-odd lies, never should have invaded, especially not when we really needed to keep hunting for Osama bin Laden, and Iraq was one place we knew he wasn't.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, "You break it, you bought it".
But on the gripping hand, the Iraqis want us to leave. They'd rather try to deal with their problems without us. That's reason enough for me to say, "time to go home".
That's just what this Navy Corpsman / Marine field medic thinks, anyway.
