This is exactly what Cheney predicted would happen two years ago.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Cheney was right about Obama with respect to this specific issue, but man was he wrong about his eligibility and other stuff.
It was Bush 43, Cheney’s boss who screwed this long-term occupation up badly. He should have immediately set about obtaining an agreement from the new Iraqi government that paid back the USA taxpayers for any real costs of the war above and beyond normal defense budgeting, and a hundred year or permanent lease for a large chunk of land in Southern Iraq with sea clearance.
This would become USA sovereign territory and serve as rotating training base for our armed forces, and we could vacate all the country clubs all over Europe that gain us nothing, but gain them lots of lucrative spending money. Iraq would have benefited greatly because for the cost of a little land they would by themselves perpetual security from all threats big and small.
Exactly right. I have said the same since we took Baghdad. The Cold War ended decades ago and we should place our assets where they can do the most good.
Biggest mistake was getting into the damned place!
So true.
The extreme right and left in this counry are both dangerous. We need a middle ground were intelligent debate can occur. What we have now are silly children blaming each other for the problems they are both causing.
