I don't agree with everything...probably not even half, but anyway....
We (as I'm a US citizen) definitially screwed up in starting this mess... We start a war based on lies, don't bring nearly enough troups to get the job done correctly and quickly, and then we wonder why the fractions within the country are seemingly killing anyone in sight.
As for the troups being withdraw within 6 months...you've got to be kidding. Look at US military history. We don't give up that quick. It usually takes us a few years of fighting a loosing battle before we head back home. (See also Vietnam...we called that a "police action" so we don't have to follow protocal for entering a war, fighting lasted for years, killing so many US soldiers that we began drafting young men and sending them to their deaths, and finally ended the entire bloody thing by withdrawing, and having the south's president resign, of course this was after 56,869 troops died, and another 153,329 were injured)
We're too determined to win to see we're in a no win situation.
Is this article meant as a joke or is it supposed to be serious?
