Why would the bad guys be trying to get into a fight as we leave?


Everyone loves a winner, and no one wants a loser. If we left Iraq in that manner exactly who would be the winner? Well, it wouldn't be us and it wouldn't be the government of Iraq.

The winners would be the ASP and their friends in al Qaida--along with Iran and Syria.

We should also note that you properly referenced the terrorists and various allied foreign contingents--"the bad guys". Now please explain why you want the "bad guys" to win.
President Reagan summed it up nicely, "Some people go through their entire lives wondering if they made a difference, Marines don't have that problem!!!"
