Yeah, But Forgive Us If We Lose Our Patience

After all is said with Iraq, I don't think Iraqis can rightly argued America "abandoned" them a second time.

This link is an argument on HotAir that Democratic senators are in danger of pulling the same move as we did in 1991 by abandoning Iraqi liberals to get massacred by Saddam. If we leave again, they will be massacred again, this time by Islamic crazies and all the neighboring countries will make deals with the crazies because they see another American retreat.

But gimme a break. We're spending an outrageous amount of money over there and the Iraqis owe us something too. At some point, this cost is going to be unbearable and we need to see not just a minority, but a substantial portion of Iraqi society making strides towards a stable government which respects minority rights. Otherwise, it'll eventually become too risky and too costly, both in money and American lives. (Note - many argue it's long been this way).
