Seems to me like there has been an awful lot of importance placed on this situation, which really pales in comparison to Hillary's lies and Obama's pastor damning America, but what do I know?
So many liberals I've spoken to throw in this line every time they can't give me a better reason to vote for Hillary or Obama....it's It's their parting shot "100 years in Iraq?"

Why aren't they griping about 50 years in Korea?
Why can't people understand you stay in a war until it's finished? Some troops are STILL in completely peaceful Germany after all these years, where's the indig-nation? Maybe, we'll be pulling out of EVERY nation if we become an Obama-nation? God forbid.

This is an interesting point, Z. Since many Americans no longer value personal commitment, perhaps the idea of an international obligation no longer fits a socialist, hedonist personae. I’ve long argued that most Americans seem to adore the idea of a warrior nation, but only so long as the game can end within four quarters of play and no over-time. If we persist in this under-educated notion, we won’t have to worry about becoming an isolationist country — it will happen naturally when other nations decide they can no longer take us at our word. Bah.
Amazingly, Bush told everyone at the start this would be a very long endeavor; apparently, some people missed that part. He never said (nor did McCain) that we’d be in Iraq for 100 years; he said that the war on terror may last that long. Do we not already understand that terrorism has been with us for the past 1,400 years? And then, of course, the people who complain the loudest are those who refuse to place themselves in harms way. They’ve mastered the “dissent” part, but not so adroit in actually serving their country.
Semper Fi
Americans have very short attention spans and are woefully undereducated in history. You are correct. We're a presence in S. Korea, Germany, Japan, Bosnia, etc, as we are needed for peacekeeping and stability. That is exactly what McCain was saying, albeit not so well. The Dems and press took off with his remarks and deliberately leave off the part where he says we'll be in Iraq and the region as long as Americans are not in battle, being killed and attacked. That doesn't fit their purposes of argument, the pap that McCain is just another warmongering Republican.
Good post.
Hi Mustang,
"They’ve mastered the “dissent” part, but not so adroit in actually serving their country."
Yes, this is so illustrative of their rationale which gives them the ideal excuse to get a pass.
They can lament the service to their country of others, thereby excusing themselves from that service.
Why would one participate in something they so fervently oppose? So convenient!

As all serious students of history know, the only thing that keeps Democrats getting up and going to work in the morning is that they honestly believe one day that all of their time and hard work will finally destroy the United States of America.
North Korea is a communist nation, and history quite clearly shows the Democratic Party will not and can not be persuaded to fight communism to a conclusion. In fact, it wasn't enough to let communism trap American forces on a peninsula between the Chinese navy and North Korean artillery, Democrats had to give North Korea nuclear capability and an autographed Michael Jordan basketball in exchange for a paper promise not to build nukes.
I'm betting neither Obama nor Hillary has a plan to get that basketball back.
BEAM!! Your first paragraph made me laugh so loudly Mr. Z called from downstairs "What's so funny!?" God, the way you put things...
I love having you around, Beamish. fantastic.
Ya, I'm QUITE sure that basketball ol' Madeline took for Kim So ILL is never coming back. You know she took his favorite booze, too....was it Johnny Walker Black Label or something.
I'll never forget Sean Penn having shish kebab with Saddam and raving about what a great country that is and what a super guy Saddam is. You can't make this stuff up.
