[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 233946, member: 8259"] Well I think that the more successful things become in Iraq the more we will hear the current talking points. The Iraq government is not doing enough. Of course most people know this is not true. Well probably not since most people not long ago thought we were losing the war. It will not be long until we cannot turn on the news and hear politicians and talking heads talking about how little the Iraqi government is doing. This media campaign against our military is getting out of control. As far as Sen. Biden goes he is really missing the point in Iraq. If you take out the Kurds there is a very very small minority of people that want Iraq to be split up into multiple countries. I am guessing that you know what the Kurds want. I would guess they want their own country so they can be left alone. I know this may be putting it in the most basic terms, but from the people that I got to talk to and it was very few Kurds this is what it seemed to come down to. The problem comes when you add the Kurds from Turkey and Iran in the mix and Sen. Biden does not take this into account in any realistic manner. All he can do is talk and of course when you think about what he is really saying he really has no substance. I suspect you guys on here already know this. There are others on here who think that if you divide up Iraq there will be no more problems. I would caution you on this approach. I think that this is not the problem. As far as us being successful in Iraq will keep us there 60 years I do not know. I am sure you know that we will leave if they ask us. We may be there 60 years or longer. We may be there 10 years or less. We do lots of things for our allies and it would be valuable to have a strong one in the middle east even if we have to nation build one. [/QUOTE]
