Give us a break, Senator McCain. Did you believe for one minute the Iraqis wouldn't fight among themselves again? Of course you didn't. Neither did I.
Tribal cultures have always fought and always will. Sad that it's happening again now (and sad for those who are having to flee their homeland). Still, that's what sensible humans sought to convince the Bush administration (Cheney, Wolfowitz, et. al.) of before the invasion. We'd be "greeted as liberators." Nobody I know believed that.

Our military fought honorably—with far too many courageous Americans killed or seriously injured during multiple deployments. They worked hard at rebuilding Iraq and trained the Iraqi forces, police, and others. They did all they could do, gave it their best, and we should be forever grateful.
I'm glad this President is a wise and thoughtful leader who's plugged in to reality; thus, he's unlikely to send troops back there. Even though some in Congress would be fine with having men and women they will never meet fighting new wars on a regular basis.
Hold steady, President Obama. Hold steady. I trust that you will.
