Politics in the Middle East requires far more subtlety and nuance than retaliating against every single mortar attack. Which is the primary reason we should never have gone in the first place.

You and I may want to leave Iraq, but unfortunately as a whole the United States Government and Military does not.

I really don’t feel like Iran’s influence is understated or underreported. If anything I feel like our own influence is underestimated.

This idea that because both governments are Shia that they get along and agree all the time so we should just call it quits isn’t true. There are considerable religious, political, and ethnic differences between Iraqi and Iranian Shias. There’s essentially a never ending clerical power struggle between Qom / Tehran and Najaf / Baghdad.

Now that the USA is energy independent, please explain how any of these considerations are vital to the national security of the USA and vital to the safety of the US electorate? I doubt that there is a strong explanation.

The truth is that the USA is now the Global Police and Occupation Force and does the bidding of Globalist Interests. Our military folks are being shot up, killed and maimed NOT for hearth and home, but . . . for what? You tell me.
