They wanted us out.
They were glad to see us go.
They cheered when we left, and they weren’t cheers of thanks.
“They wanted us out”
We need to ponder who is “they”.
None of know what’s in the minds of our Middle East strategists. My view is that we make efforts over there only if it is in our security interests. Maybe we can withhold help from Iraq and it will work out ok for us.
Didn’t we leave because the Iraq leader insisted that our soldiers be tried for alleged offenses in their courts? Could it be that if that leader changed his mind, we’d start helping again.
While I recognize my ignorance, I also don’t trust our foreign policy leadership which starts with Obama.
