So how is withdrawing forces a "waste" when the initial expenditure was a "waste" and we have no goal?

Classic gamblers fallacy.

So because people died and money was spent, we have to stay there in perpetuity?

That’s just moronic. Even for you.

You war mongers are a hoot.
Does the MIC pay you directly or do you request it be "laundered" to cover your tracks?

Only a matter of time before ISIS gets the gang back together and takes over the country. Except this time, we won’t be there to save your asses...again

I'm not saying it is. I'd agree with you. Iraq is just being ignorant thinking Iran will be a better ally for them than the U.S. is.

Big D Donny is going to send in more troops to Iraq, and then tell Iraq, I'll remove troops when I say so, not until.

They don't have to build their own. Obozo shipped in the cash to the middle east so they could buy a few from the fat boy in North Korea.

At this point just demo the embassy too. Cut all US investment and move the diplomatic mission to Kuwait.

If it wouldn’t expose a huge number of Americans to harm, I’d say pull down every bridge, power station, dam, and pipeline we’ve built as well.

No don’t burn it. Booby trap every single piece. Win-win. Destroys what we couldn’t take and gets rid of a few baddies.
