it ~could~ be worse for them. Imagine if the refineries are all fired up again in Iraq, commerce begins to pick up.
Then imagine US marines tearing up large sections of highways to find expired old dud and or no longer terribly useful weapons of mass destruction.

As well as probably a few more dead iraqi's.

All told it needed to be done, but I don't appreciate the general discredit, deflect, deny attitude from this administration

We're not dumb, we can handle the truth. What's going on? why the sudden intrest in the middle east. What's our plan for israel suddenly doing on the table when we have so many troops bordering syria?

Our nations current foriegn policy agenda is unclear and, well, hawkish at the moment.

And I don't like it
