" You have no conception of ......what we are up against."
Look, we went in because GWB told us there were WMD's and we were all going to be living under a mushroom cloud (there were none).
Then Sadam was a bad, baaaaad man (now he's on trial, sentenced to be hanged, so he's out of commission).
Then there's the "democracy thing"..........pffft.
That hasn't really taken root either.
Neither have the Iraqi police forces we have been training. They are rotting from the inside out. I say let THEM figure it out. Provide a little more man-power, a little more money and GET OUT.
And your reason for staying is??
