  • Report back Iraq

    Between the two schools : How long can we continue to throw money at this foreign policy mistake versus Surge is working but the prognosis is long term if we are to achieve a meaningful handover, lies the more important question :

    If the United States created a vacuum with a sudden departure what would fill that?

    The answer is an expanded and militant Shi'ite confederation with Iraq, Iran, Syria and Lebanon coming into conflict with an Al Qeada driven Sunni grouping who no longer believe that foreign intervention is sustainable or reliable.

    What would that cost the planet to rectify?

    Regardless of whether Iraq was a mistake or not, the exit strategy, having removed Saddam, the buffer to Iran, had better not be.

    My initial feelings on the report back :
