Mr. Menendez is look at this from the wrong angle. The question is not anymore was Iraq initially the right decision. That has been answered unequivocally as no. Going into Iraq was a colossal failure, the policy was a wrong, etc%u2026 His talking points are purely political and are largely irrelevant to the question at hand. The real question I want t o see him answer: Do we as Americans have an obligation to fix the mess that we created? And if so, what%u2019s the best way to do that? I truly believe that we have a moral obligation to do what%u2019s best for Iraqi people and I just don%u2019t see how withdrawing could make things any better. In my opinion Iraq is likely to fall into a civil war (Kurds/Sunnis/Shiites/Al-qaeda) without an American troop presence. In this scenario, Iraq is a battlefield for the next decade with hundreds of thousands of lives lost. This seems like a worst case scenario.
