What a sad situation. I think Obama means well by saying he wants to pull troops out in 18 months, but Ricks is probably right by saying that's totally unrealistic. Longest war in American history, that is a scary thought.

Yeah, we don't know yet if we survived the bush years. but acting stupidly like bush is wrong at any time. We have to think it through and do the right thing no matter how satisfying it would be to bring the troops home now.

Such weak rhetoric, "can we try for war crimes," do you even know what a war crime is? Do you even understand the laws of war? The same lame statements all the time by people who never served a day in their life. It's so boorish.
