Iraq... When will reason prevail?

We continue to lose more of our military every day. We are forcing our troops into dangerous positions in the middle of a sectarian and civil war.

We have trained Iraqi military but their forces still aren't assisting with the security that is so desperately needed. We are continuously training and arming the Sunni military but the Sunni insurgents we have trained are fighting us now. We are also arming and training regional sects and tribal groups throughout Iraq with the hope that they will fight the terrorists. These are the same groups that we once fought and will most likely fight again.

The two most famous turncoats we supported in the past were Saddam Hussein and bin Laden. The Shiites don't like us arming the Sunnis; but why should they have? The Iraqi government is no closer to agreeing to any political reconciliation and is in fact further apart.

The longer we stay in Iraq the more troops we will lose. There is no resolution that can be inforcedd by our occupation. The sooner we withdraw from Iraq the better and the fewer troops we will lose....
