Nutloose:
Iraq was a classic when Bush declared the war over, problem was they didn't get the agreement of the other side on that. Neatly when things like that happen, those that carry on their war either home or away suddenly become "terrorists"
As you say they'd be terrorists. The question is, since the mission was accomplished, (the removal of SoDamnInsane), why were our soldiers left there to be terrorized. Let them terrorize each other. Leaving our men and women there is, really, allowing ourselves to be terrorized by proxy. That's the dumbest idea in the world. Had we left they'd have been so busy squabbling amongst themselves they wouldn't even know where the West is if we tattooed a map on their stupid foreheads...
