      20 years more of Saddam rule? As much as the pretense for going into Iraq was bogus, the oppressed Shia population would beg to differ.

      You’re the one who told me to look at countries that don’t coordinate with the US. I did. I’m not impressed. I look at countries like Germany today and by contrast, I am impressed. So are you impressed by Iran, Russia, North Korea? Or do you disagree with the likes of Jordan openly cooperating with the US to contain ISIS?

        Iraq can only finally start to recover now that it is asking the US military to leave.

        Oh, but the US won’t leave. You okay with that too?

            They don’t want us there! What right do we have to decide if they are “ready”?

            That’s some white man’s burden bullshit.
