And the recent tone doesn't even presume to give the war much rationale, other than the vague one that it's the only hope Iraq has to improve, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Grandpa h.
i think people are pretty convinced that iraq will completely unravel if we were to leave - which is why they don't give any other rationale for staying than that. meanwhile, we'll continue to have our permanent bases and set up the stage for a war with iran.

when your national policy is guided by fear, rather than rational logic, this is what we get.

in this respect, i think the republicans may actually be more honorable - because they're at least honest when they say they want to keep our troops there indefinitely/forever... the fork-tongued democrats on the other hand......


hope for america...
