Here's another question,

If we do pull out, how quickly before we have to go right back?

A war in the Middle East is not about when, it's about where.

I have no doubt, we will, sometime, in the not so distant future, pull our troops from Iraq. But I also have no doubt, we'll be going right back. For the last 50+ years, Israel has largely been doing the fighting for the US, democracy, western civilization, in that region. Now our hands are dirty too.

Pulling troops out of Iraq will not end any war, it will just reposition it.

We are not fighting an offensive war. We are fighting a defensive war on other people's soil.
