Really, I agree there. We should have to clean up the mess we made, but we can't clean it up with all the insurgents attacking us in the first place, and right now the general population if Iraq is not happy with the US occupying the country.
These insurgents will never go away. Ever. They will stay there and continue to attack us while we are there, so attempting to fix what we messed up is impossible. We are given a 30 free-time to get out of there, I don't see any reason not to take it because we will never be able to right our wrongs. We will either get that 30 days, or we will get nothing at all, and I got to say, 30 days is A LOT better than nothing.
We have lost nearly 3000 lives to this war(maybe even more than 30010 by now)
Yea, they want the weapons, but of course that doesn't mean that they really would. There are some smart people in the white-house. They can figure something out. And for sure, they would not just hand it over to the enemy. Worst case scenario would be that they would just simply destroy those weapons at the last moment. The solders get out and the weapons do not go into enemy hands. Simple as that(one would note that it doesn't state the condition of the weapons).
