I simply disagree. We're making more and more progress over there every single day.Originally posted by: shadow9d9

Invading Iraq was a mistake.
That said, we're there now. A premature withdrawal that throws the entire region into total chaos would be an even larger mistake. Doing so would be a huge slap in the face of every soldier who has sacrificed their time, health, or life, for the freedom of the Iraqi people. Only then would our losses be in vein.
Don't let that happen.
For the next 50 years you could repeat the same thing, because Iraq will never be a peacefully coexisting place.
The mistake remains today. We cannot and will not ever be able to fix Iraq. PERIOD.
100,000s Iraqis dead, 2 million+ Iraqis have emigrated..
At one point, in the next couple of years, Iraq will be ready to take care of itself. Only then can we leave in good conscience.
PERIOD.
