“Yet when we go to “war” with one of these countries and win in three months from the start of the invasion, without the expressed written declaration of war by congress we end up not declaring victory, hanging out on our conquered territory while our other enemies (iran/syria) send in Weapons, Intel, Islamic suicide nuts into iraq, who are bleeding us daily. We meanwhile sit back hamstrung in political debate which harms our troops, divides our country and even has some twits in our congress suggest that we have lost the ‘war’.”
Are you saying that we would be better off declaring victory so that those against us in Iraq can come here and attack you or yours?

Every Senator Should Read The Bensman Series From The San Antonio Express News (Border News)

The four part series I noted below is must reading for every senator considering amendments to the draft immigration bill which, at its unveiling, made no provision for treating illegal aliens from countries with known jihadist networks differently from Mexican or Central American immigrants.
No, they wouldn't follow us home. They'd be scrambling home to Iran to fight us there. Those left in Iraq would then be fighting each other for power and too busy to worry about sending boys here. Other Islamic countries would be fighting each other to gain footholds in Iraq. Iran would suffer a similar fate after we lay waste to the Iranian military and it's current government and leave.
And frankly if another nutjob gets in power in Iraq or Iran after we have left, we do it again... until they get the message. It's much cheaper in blood and money to do it that way. If we left Iraq after Saddam was captured, we'd been able to re-invade Iraq and capture the replacement nutjob roughly 7 times already with what we have already spent in Iraq.
Your argument for staying in Iraq is akin to letting our military continue to be used as a gold plated - solider baited bug-zapper next to a conveyor belt loaded with never ending camel crap creating an endless supply of biting sand flies.
