Obama to tear apart the country

[Motivation]

If we pull out all of the troups in Iraq at once, the soldiers that have lost their life in the war (for what they believe in, THEY joined for a reason, THEY knew what was going on, THEY thought it was worth risking there lives for), what did they die for? It would all be in vain imo... I agree, the war has turned into something different that the reason it started... But if we pull out now we could be making things worse. I know it's a saying every one has seen but, "Fight them there, or fight them here."
But everyone's view is going to be different. That's what makes this world.

The rational that they would die in vain if more Americans didn't throw away their lives too is total bull****.

Its not "fight them there, or fight them here." THERE WERE NO ISLAMIC EXTREMIST TERRORIST GROUPS IN IRAQ BEFORE THE INVASION. Saddam hated them and they hated Saddam. Unfortunately for them, Saddam has the upper hand in this mutually unfriendly relationship as Saddam had an iron grip on all the country but the north. "Fighting them over there" only created another area for them to operate and another way to gain more recruits.

Another stunning revelation, the vast majority of violence in Iraq... not the work of Islamic extremists. I know the media likes to throw around the A.Q. name all the time. The actual activity level of Al-Qaeda? Army intelligence estimates they account for around 3-5% of the violence in Iraq as of late last year. Most of the violence is sectarian violence or the work of ordinary Iraqis who just want us out.
