+1. I totally agree with you. Now a politician is asking that when Iraq becomes "financially" stable, that they should start paying us money for our mission over there. Well; if they start footing the bill; would you promote a longer presence?

No. Because even if they're "footing the bill", that can't make up for the guys and gals who die over there. No amount of money can make up for that.

The defense industry (a.k.a. friends of the generals and congressmen) stand to lose hundreds of billions if we shut down operations. It's all about the benjamins baby.

I've said that before. War supporters tell me this is a "conspiracy theory".
