A divided nation (click here) finally agrees on something overwhelmingly: the war in Iraq was simply not worth fighting.
Seventy-one percent of Americans now say that the war in Iraq “wasn’t worth it,” a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll shows, with skepticism about the lengthy war effort up substantially even in the last 18 months.
Just 22 percent now believe the 2003 war effort was worthwhile....
I want to know what exactly the American PERSONNEL in Iraq are doing? There is no justification for added personnel since the bombing is said to be effective.
If the bombing runs are not successful then the USA needs to stop them.
At this point with Secretary Kerry calling for more PERSONNEL to be assigned to State Department missions, it is unclear if he is running his own war. If there is danger to the consulate personnel they need to be evacuated.
Either Americans are safe or they aren't. This is not rocket science.
If additional PERSONNEL are chronically needed in the Former Iraq then the Americans aren't safe and simply BAIT for escalation.
With continued escalation of American presence in the war in the Former Iraq the people of the USA need to ask themselves WHAT PURPOSE does this serve and what is going to guarantee there won't be still another "Oops, we should not have left Iraq and we sure shouldn't have left all that American military hardware and munitions with the former Iraqi military."
If the American people allow the delusions of the White House that the USA military can actually return order to Iraq and end any violence they are sentencing this country to a forever war.
I won't be counting bodies, innocent or military any more.
There is absolutely no purpose to USA intervention in any country unless it's going to serve a PERMANENT stabilizing effect by the sovereign military. If the Kurds need assistance in holding their borders than they need to ally with Turkey. But, for the USA military to become a force to contend with in the former Iraq to expand any borders and/or seek to make permanent a USA presence that requires not only the permission of the American people, but, an act of Congress. This is getting to be ridiculous.
The American consulate personnel are being used as an act as a reason to continue the USA presence in the region. If the missions require that much support they need to be evacuated.
The USA does not have an anti-genocide policy for it's military to immediately deploy and that is the correct stance for the USA.
For a very protracted time the USA sacrificed both blood and treasure to allow the Iraq to establish itself. If fell apart. There is absolutely no reason to do it again. NONE.
