The failure of the Iraq war could not be more clearly shown by the fact that our military was forced to abandon their search for the abducted American Soldier by an anti- American Cleric and the Prime Minister of Iraq.
When the Anti-American leader of Mahdi Army pressured the Iraqi Prime Minister to get the Americans out of his territory in Sadr City, our military was ORDERED by Al-Maliki to end their blockades in the area where the U.S. Soldier was abducted and where we believe he may be held.
The fact that U.S. Military is being ordered to take an action that is not in our best interest is the last straw. Why should we continue to sacrifice the lives of our brave military in Iraq any longer?
