We fought this war in Iraq for a really obvious reason that nobody
seems to see.

It wasn't about oil, we could buy it a lot cheaper.

It wasn't about WMDs, Saddam was too chicke**** to use them against
us.

It wasn't about Al-Qaida, they hated Saddam more than we did!

It was to end a war that had been going on for 13 years (longer than
Vietnam!) and get our forces out of the area.

And it is working, somewhat. We are pulling most forces out of Saudi
Arabia, finally; Northern and Souther Watch are over (I got my combat
time flying out of Incerlik in 93 - relatively early in the war).

Now we just have to patch up Iraq enough that they can stand up on
their own, then BUG OUT!!!!

Big Picture, guys, and it takes more than a few years....
