Troops Back In Iraq? I Hope It's The Mayflower Brigade

Jesus Pete, we're sending troops back into Iraq!!  OK, not that many -- 275 or so, some as "advisors", some as embassy security.  But still, what's the point?

It's crystal-clear that George W. Bush's daddy-issues led to a long-term illegitimate war and an ill-advised exercise in nation-building.  President Obama did his best to clean up the other guy's mess, abided by the other guy's agreement, and got the hell out in 2011.  Good!

But now suddenly the ancient religious hostilities have flared up again and everyone in Iraq has gone crazier than shit-house rats.  I'm sorry for their troubles and all their violence against each other, but it's time for these people to stew in their own juice.  It's not our problem anymore.  (It never was to begin with.)

So here's hoping those troops redeployed to Iraq show up with Mayflower vans.  Let's pack up the embassy, wish everyone good luck, and go home for good.
