Please learn history, as we are repeating it. We won in Vietnam, then the Democrats abandoned the functioning government. The North Vietnamese invaded, but were fought back with the help of US air power and logistical support. Then the Democrats cut off those funds, the North Vietnamese invaded again and they won.

Looks like we are doing the same thing here, just substitute Iraq for South Vietnam and Iran for North Vietnam.

I know my history, there is no North Vietnam, backed by the USSR ivading Iraq, and the South Vietnamese never asked us to leave! As for Iran, if they are a problem, lets go after them directly rather than have a bunch of troops playing defense in Iraq.

And btw, how about answering my question from earlier? No one else has. “The Iraqi government wants us to either submit our troops to Iraqi law or leave, which, btw, we signed an agreement to do. Are we supposed to overthrow the government we set up and militarily occupy Iraq forever? What do you suggest? I would like to hear a real plan.”
