2. Someone needs to explain to me why I should care that a bunch of Islamofacists are occupied killing each other. Seems to me that's the best outcome of our post-9/11 efforts to push back at those rabid monsters. Shiites, Shi'ites, Sunis, Wahhabis, whatever...I say to all of them, be my guest. Kill each other. You're doing our job for us.
3. I say pull our troops out and let the regional conflagration begin. Yeah, yeah, the price of oil will go through the roof. I say so what. Small price to pay if the Islamofacists will exhaust their blood lust on each other.
exactly wolfstar- Keep the troops there- keep them out of harms way as much as possible, and let the insurgents kill themselves- Use their own hatred against them- let them fight among themselves until they are dwindled to the point of no return! http://sacredscoop.com
It's taken a while for me but I've basically come around to your way of thinking on this. It may sound callous but after what we've done, if they want to resort to tribalism, I have a hard time seeing it as a tragedy that Shiite militias slaughter Sunnis and vice-versa.

I say leave our troops there as a safeguard to prevent a full Al Qaeda takeover or open training-camp presence. Remember Al Qaeda and the problem of failed states? You may recall a cost we paid for allowing such things to persist. It was in 2001, I seem to recall.
