General - Iraq 5 years later - View Post

We can't leave Iraq now. Should we have had left earlier? Probably, but there has to be some stability for the nation. I'm convinced some politicians just want this to be another Vietnam.

Being there too long though is a problem. My cousin is on his third tour over there. I hate seeing that because he's a young married man who should be spending time with his wife, but thats not how it is. How thinly stretched our troops are is a huge problem, no denying that one.

And seriously, Saddam was gonna get overthrown, it just depended on who the President was. He had enough UN sanctions against him, no one else wanted to deal with it. The rest of the world wanted it to happen even if they won't admit it.

And there for the cheap oil idea, yeah, I'm really feeling the cheap oil right now...
