WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon's top Middle East adviser said Wednesday insurgent attacks in Iraq will probably increase as U.S. forces start to leave, but there's no plan now to delay troop departures. Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary Colin Kahl told The Associated Press that the military will continue to watch whether increased violence may push back deadlines for U.S. troop withdrawals ordered by President Barack Obama.

The terrorist attacks in Iraq has increased in the last two months. Al Qaeda terrorists and their Iraqi allies as well as the Iranian terrorists and their Iraqi allies have been greatly emboldened by Obama incredible weakness.
We cannot leave Iraq as per the Obama plan. If we do such a thing then Iraq is certain to fall under the terrorists rule and then after that the whole Middle East will be under the terrorists control. When this happens then we are going to have nightmares that we cannot even imagine.
We must stay in Iraq or else the consequences will be much worse than our worst nightmares.

he Pentagon's top Middle East adviser said Wednesday insurgent attacks in Iraq will probably increase as U.S. forces start to leave, and the terrorists smell cowardice but there's no plan now to delay troop departures. Of course not, can't have the US and the Iraqi people prevailing against the radicals, when we have our own variety of radicals in power here.

We are told only a small minority are terrorist, can’t the 90% on Iraq take care of themselves now? They have army and police forces that are suppose to be fighting for their own independence.
When, can we leave if not now when the world loves O?
