Answer 1

Way back when, the definition of "mission accomplished" was changed by Bush to mean that the Iraqis would be trained to take over security of their country.

It's a vicious circle; as long as we remain there, the Iraqis don't have any incentive to do security. That's why we need the exit strategy defined, and a timetable set.

Answer 2

They are telling the truth. Even a rich nation such as the US cannot afford it. There is the issue of whom to blame for the war. That can be taken care of after the situation is fixed. And fixing the current situation involves the Iraqi people.

Answer 3

What they are saying is we are approaching a breaking point.
Its our POLITICIANS who are acting as if we did Iraq a favor.

The generals objected to this war from the beginning.
What was our operational strategy ? What was our exit strategy?

Answer 4

Terrorists and dictators created this mess.
