Sadly, it isn't that simple. Didn't ya'll get the memo from OBL? The goal isn't to get America out of Iraq, or even to get America out of Israel or the entire Mid-East, or even to get Israel out of the Mid-East. The goal is the wholesale extermination of all non-Muslims. The President lacks the sack to come out and say it, and the American people lack the situational awareness to admit it, but whether we want it or not, we are in the midst of a holy war. While the applicability of Iraq as a part of The Big Picture can be debated, focusing on Iraq as the end-all-be-all of this problem is tragically short-sighted.
