1. It was an enormous mistake for the US to invade Iraq.

The CIA assisted getting Saddam in power in Iraq, we had Desert Storm, W was hell bent on getting Saddam and did not understand why Iraq was important in keeping Iran from running wild. Iraq was joined together some years back and tho there has been a long history of turmoil between the three groups putting them together was not and has not solved the problem. McCain should shut his mouth about Iraq to allow things to work out. Life is not about having American troops all over this earth. Furthermore the GOP is voting down assistance to our veterans because it cost too much and if those same congressional members push for more war then the money is also available for our veterans.

We do not need to continue down the same dumb road W started us on, stop this war crap.
