Re: Why, oh why, are we still in Iraq?
There is no good reason to remain in Iraq.
The main reason we are still there is because there are elements in the administration that want American boots in Iraq for the next fifty years and know that if they withdraw now they will never be able to go back in.
The motivation to keep the troops there for the next fifty years is to establish a toehold in the middle east. The reason for the middle east is oil, the fuel that our economy and military need to keep going.
Basically, we are there as looters.
