How the hell can anyone seriously think that we need to stay in Iraq? Who the hell are we helping? How come the so called "AQ in Iraq" didn't take responsibility for the Golden Dome, when they have claimed responsibilit for numerous Shia attacks? What were Brits doing dressed up as insurgents and fighting "legitimate" police forces? How could the administration have planned for this war worse than a two bit strategy gamer? Chaos means we stay. Staying means we get those bases and have some control over the ME oil. Staying means mercenaries and major corpos get to profit without end.

Staying means perpetual warfare, perpetual warfare means perpetual profit and that profit means power.

Staying means we treat the Iraqis like barbarians both in thought and deed, staying means feeding the bloodlust of ignorance. Staying means reinforcing pax americana, imperialism and sustaining an dfurther emboldening hatred of our country and its citizens.

Staying means more death and maiming than leaving (or withdrawing over the horizon) ever will.

Thank you for the tears Ava, they were real... as is my shame.
