That is when it began to make no sense. We accomplished all of the goals given by Team Bush and then for whatever "factor" we stayed and it has cost us at least 24,000 additional casualties and hundreds of billions of dollars with no end yet in sight.

The belief that freedom and capitalism can spread in the region and thus save the world from an impending WW started in the middle east over religious BS. Leaving the country a sitting duck for Iran would have been crazy given our interests.
If it is for oil, when do we get that ****? Damn it's been years man! Why ain't we dippin' that honey pot?
