I don't think anyone is suggesting that because their intelligence and motivations are/were suspect that the US should immediately pull all of the troops out of Iraq. Obviously they're committed to the current course of action. That said, I think the US is screwed no matter what they do. It should be very interesting to see where this all stands in 5-10 years. I hope for the best.

Thing is, our local "know it all" Looger thinks the US is at fault for making Saddam the killer that he was, and therefore he could have killed 10 million people and still the US would not be justified in invading Iraq, because after all, they made Saddam the person he was.
