Going into Iraq in 2003 was a mistake. Pulling out now may cause a catastrophe, and with a potentially a cascading effect. The Iraqi army and police cannot manage on their own. They freely admit this, and US troops on the ground have no faith in the Iraqi army or police. If you do not believe me, take the time to listen to this - it goes for just over 6 minutes, but please listen to it.

The situation in Iraq is far worse than some elements of the media would have you believe. This is *not* a reason to pull out. It shows how desperate the Iraqi people are. Remember, "we" invaded them. "We" were supposed to make life better for them. It is now "our" responsibility to see this through to a peaceful end.
