The U.S. Senate has made a strong point in the US’s involvement in Iraq. Sen. McCain has made a point that if you announce withdrawal is spurs the combatants to fight but aren’t they fighting now? How much can they do to themselves? If US servicemen and servicewomen aren’t in Iraq how much damage to the troops can they do? I wanted to link to this article not for any groundbreaking news not for the great news it declared but for this one comment that said it all:

McCain knows better. You can not win a war without objectives. Over 600,000 Iraqi civilians are dead from this war. We can win every battle and still not win the good will of the Iraqi people.
The real motivation behind this war is the oil. Not as much as to sell it on the market, but to keep it in the ground, to be sold at a higher price on a later day. This is not a war worthy of the United States military.
This is a war that is draining the blood and the will from the best of us.
Call me a paranoid moonbat, but it seems that is an objective of this war, although it is not an objective of our forces.
