73. And turn it into another Afghanistan?
No thank you. We left that place too early and it spiraled into a theocratic meltdown and birthed some of the worst terrorists this world has seen.

I hate that we're in Iraq, but we have to stay there just awhile longer to set things correct. I know that sucks and it's killing our soldiers, but that fucker Bush got us into this mess. Of course, it will take a strong Dem like Wes to get us out and get us out in a time reasonable to both Iraq AND the United States. Bush doesn't have an exit strategy at all that isn't based on the election cycle.
