Putin Urges US Troop Withdrawal

Leaving Iraq now would be a disaster. We can't go into a country, creamate it, leave it without water, electric, or a government, and tiptoe out of there. It is a bogus war started by a lie, but we are there and we wold be in a worse situation internationally if we simply up and leave it the way it is. We are doomed to be there for the long haul.
