None, but this is not the point. Our President acted on intelligence presented, Iraq needed to be neutralised. This is not what I am arguing however, the reasoning is unimportant now. I am arguing that we need to stay until the Iraqi's can counter the Iranian, Turkish and other potential adversaries military and bids to seize Iraqi sovereignty.

Iran will gobble Iraq up if we leave. It's a Machivellian statement, but I think it is very true. Until the Iraqi's can fulfill the power vacuum, I will 100% support our efforts to achieve that goal. We owe it to the Iraqi's. Failure to recognise this will greatly undermine anything we do in the future.
