am going to keep posting these questions until I get an honest answer from Obama supporters.
1. If the US was to retreat from Iraq what, in your opinion, would be the outcome in Iraq?
2. Would that eventual outcome be detrimental or favorable to the security of the US and its foreign based intrests?
I am no Obama supporter. What will happen in Iraq and Afganistan if we withdraw?
The slaughter that started in Biafra in the 80's, Darfur, Bosnia, will all be relived again. Jihad against the infidel.
In 1968 the US put a base, with UN approval, in Eastern Egypt. Personnel stationed there were required to never divulge of its existance. Others thought the flowery name for it made its existance a myth. The Navy loadmaster told us personnel in transit that we were never there this place does not exist. I said OK right. But to fly south on Mac flight from Sigonella and end up waking from a nap at sunup to the sight of Pyramids off to west was something you never forget. Bunkered F-16's and the like you know.
Our presence in the Middle East is a requirement, duty whatever you want to call it to keep the flow of oil to the rest of the world. I only wish is that we would be paid for escorting this oil in a manner commensurate with our service. The World Economy dictates why we are where we are and why we are who we are.
