I assume we all remember that Harry Reid said that in September "there'd be a real fight". That's because that's when a progress report is supposed to happen on the progress in Iraq for the troop surge.
Well the fucker can't even wait that long. "We can't wait for September's scheduled military policy review for the White House to make adjustments" I'm telling you folks, this guy simply doesn't want the US to win this war. He's doing everything he can to undermine troop morale and their mission. September is two months away and he can't wait to throw in the towel.
Iraqi officials are telling the US that if we leave, Iraq may collapse. Unfortunately, I agree with him. Until the Iraqi's get on their feet, if we leave them, they will be over run by the Kurds, Turks, Al-Qaeda, Iran, and various fighting factions.
Now, that being said, the Iraqi security forces really need to get on the ball here. Corruption, lack of equipment and training, and morale are all points that need to be addressed and addressed quickly. Failure to do so in a timely manner only erodes the little support they have now. You are starting to see people want to throw in the towel that wouldn't conceive of it even 6 months ago. Perhaps the threat of us leaving might spur the Iraqi government to step up. However, if we do leave before they are ready to take over, it will be a major coup for Al-Qaeda as they've already pointed out Democrats wanting to run with their tails tucked between their legs as a win in their column. Al-Qaeda's #2 has already said that Iraq is the front lines in their battle against US, and yet Democrats want to run.
Take heed Democrats, leaving Iraq or Afghanistan before it is time will have disastrous consequences that you will be responsible for.
