We are tired of Iraq, our invasion and occupation of this country, has and continues to do nothing but weaken us. I was recently in Iraq and many of the Iraqis want us out now- the other half, want us there so they can further profit from the Billons we waste there everyday, hate to say it, Obama is right on track, get us out just as soon as possible, we were destined to fail when BUSH/CHENNEY/rove lied and set us on a immoral path to failure and disgrace in the collective eyes of the world. Have you been traveling abroad lately, Anti-American are very, very high, our enemies have turned public opinion against us.
