Petraeus works to halt foreign fighters.

I was hinting that if we weren't on some hair brained scheme in Iraq that this soldier with 5 kids would not have died needlessly.
When discussing things like this I think "boots on the ground" has no business being brought into the picture. It may be sobering but it doesn't do much in an argument imo.

In fact, it should be so sobering to people that changes are made to stop things like that from happening.

Cue...But we need a big huge military presence worldwide for our protection supporters.
Or the people who just say-go America, Kick some ***.

Oho yeah. Some are so shocked, upset and :mad: that Iran is meddling in Iraq. Duh. Iraq was just a way to ratchet up the proxy war with Iran; we can't expect Iran to sit on its hands.

Just imagine if China or some other large power invaded Mexico--a country which the U.S. didn't particularly get along with very well--think we wouldn't be meddling behind the scenes? Right.
