That quagmire is an affront to the honorable men and women that put on uniforms. We've accomplished nothing substantial there except blowing up a lot of stuff and installing a puppet government that will likely fail a month after we leave.
Oh, and oil is still $100 a barrel.

No crickets at all. It's been explained here ad nauseum. That you disagree with the reasons, or that those reasons contradict what you want to believe, does not mean it was not in defense of nat. security interests.
And the fact that oil has only gotten more expensive should convince folks that Iraq was not about oil. Americans' own sense of entitlement has been a far greater cause in gas price spikes than world events.
