Shock and Awe was a massive war crime, not to mention the worst military mistake this country has undertaken in many years. We killed thousands of Iraqi citizens who were not attacking the US, and were not a danger to us. We wanted to establish an American Century and steal Iraqi oil, since we were tossed out of Iran for doing the same there. Staying in is just as criminal. Bush and his team should have been labeled war criminals.

Going in was just dumb, and staying is as dumb. I have learned not to trust any, and I mean any, high ranking officers or war loving American politicians. 
They want a perpetual war. That is evil, and is bankrupting America. Screw the "long war". We helped establish peace in Southeast Asia when we left, just left, then South Vietnam. That wasn't our fight, and neither is the insanity in the Middle East. We listened to people like Petraeus, and always lost. Time to leave.
