Does it entail our being present in Iraq?

I don't support this war. I haven't served in the military, nor would I ever. No interest. I do work for a government agency that helps veterans, just FYI. That is MY service, and I have been doing it for 11 years.

Good for you, do you want recognition or something? You make some bunk statment about me signing up. I retort that I served already and have a need to show me that you "help" us? This is not the same as serving. Sorry.

Iran and Iraq fought one of the most brutal and bloody wars in history with casualties numbering in the millions. There is a lot of animosity between the Iranian and Iraqi people and that animosity is not going to go away when we leave the region. Iran is already trying to dominate the politics of the region and a weak Iraq dominated by Iran is a terribly destabilizing scenario. Why do you think Iran is such a sticky situation right now? It ain't because they're the good guys.

It has up until recently. With the Iraqi armed forces up to capacity, it won't which is why I say the war is close to being won and drawn to it's conclusion if the left doesn't caterwaul us into defeat like they did with Vietnam.

There are still people who are so contemptuous of our intelligence that they contend, even now, that there were only one or two objectives of our invasion.

Here's a pie chart reminder.

aps, do you want us to leave and then have to go back in?

Did you make up that chart? Please tell me you did. It's f'n hilarious. I commend you on your Word Skills though.
