Reasons to stay in Iraq.
Fascinating reasoning behind staying in Iraq.
Conservatives said it was too violent to withdraw. Needed the "surge", more troops. Got the "surge", and like stationing a cop on every corner, the violence lessened. No reconciliation, etc., but less violence.
NOW, there can be no withdrawal because there is less violence.
They reason thusly with a straight face and no apparent difficulty. And some people take what these people think seriously. They really ought to worry about how they think.
