McCain's 100 Year War

The surge should have been done three years ago. Right now the surge is a holding action. A phased withdrawal of 20 regiments takes 20 months. Most of these troops would have to evacuate by the road to Kuwait. Can you imagine the IED’s, mines and snipers the troops will face? The Sunni’s from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere will not let the Shiites create a caliphate sponsored by Iran.
The cost of the Iraq war is two billion dollars a week. This debilitating cost of the war in Iraq plus the enormity of the cost for the war in Afghanistan are two of the main reasons our economy is in a recession. The Iraq war and the failure to execute an effective war in Afghanistan against the true enemies of the United States, the Taliban and Al-Qaida and others of the same ilk, are the greatest foreign policy blunders in the last forty years.
Maybe Mr. McCain who is an expert on the economy can figure out a way how our grandchildren and their children will not have to pay for these blatant fiascoes in Iraq and Afghanistan. China and Japan are holding the IOU’s for these wars that should have never taken place as the United States goes further into debt.
Thank you George Bush, Dick Cheney, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and all the members of Congress who voted for this misadventure in fantasyland.
