It is long past time for a definitive American withdrawal from that fractious, feuding part of the world.

Agreed. The world is a better place without the Iranian general we killed and I'm glad he's gone, but we should not have military forces in Iraq in the first place. The entire reason Iran now dominates Iraq is because we went in and overthrew Saddam and his sons - if Bush had stuck to Afghanistan, Saddam and the Ayatollahs could be killing each other without our involvement.

My friends POTUS wants us out. Just let the protesters push our country in that direction. He pulls out, everyone is on their own and the rest of the world wants to deal with us for oil. He should slap the mullahs around on the way out or give the Kurds their homeland. It’s a recipe for more wars. We got the weapons to sell them.

Who do you want to guard our embassies?

Perhaps we could contract it out to the locals.

That worked so well last time.
