The question:
How/why do we -not- have to win the war in Iraq?
How/why is it OK to lose in Iraq?
Damn fine questions!

So you think it would be good foreign policy to abandon the Iraqi people to be invaded by Iran before their own forces are trained and capable?

Think hard about that one before you answer.

Then why are there so many people on this thread that are foaming from the mouth when Obama says something they agree with?

Okay, I will concede that. But in the end, it amounts to the same thing anyway; a defenseless Iraq and a domineering Iran.

I don't think that Iran would invade them. But once their leader says it's time for us to leave, we should leave. That's his responsibility. Iran knows what will happen if they invade Iraq. I do find it tragically humorous that the justification for staying there now is because Iran will invade. I remember when our policy was that we would leave when asked to. Why do the goalposts keep moving?

How come no one can answer when Iraq will be able to defend themselves?
