say you and your 3 best freinds were standing around a bucket of shit. you pick up a huge rock and thro it in. shit splashes out out and all over you and your freinds. just up and leaving the middle east now would have the same effect as removing the rock. it may be out but you and your freinds are still covered in shit. the shituation isnt resolved till you get the crap cleaned off.
So let's just keep sending more young men and women of this country to get killed? Because we were led into a war by lies and deception? Sure, let's go another four years, then they might just settle this thousand year holy war! I think not, there's no definition of winning, it's much too broad, to not leave until things are 'settled' means to stay there forever, and I don't think we have the money or lives for that? Oh wait, a draft...Ahh, yes, we can get all the troops we need into Iraq. Fuck that. Our troops need to be defending our country, not the fucking middle east or the rest of the world.
