Just goes to show you how the enemy thinks, they want to bankrupt us with the war on terror, we say we're pulling out soon, they turn up the heat to keep us there longer.

Who on earth is this Obama's fault, Vurb? Just like all suicide bombs in Iraq were Bush's fault prior to 1/20, eh, Vurb?

The same old boring argument of who's fault is it....blah blah blah....

Regardless, democracy comes with a price and that price is blood. Iraq is on their way to independence and democracy regardless of if the final state will look like what we want it to look like or not, and in that process, blood has been and will be spilled.

Our country shed blood when we fought for independence from Europe and more blood was shed when we fought our own civil war to sustain our union.

Wow, that sentence was so much more appropriate 5 years ago.
