The vacuum that could end the USA

I just wanted to quickly comment on the kind of a human nature understanding of the consequences of pulling out of Iraq.

If the Dems were in charge, they had their way, and they chose to give a date of withdrawal and they followed threw with withdrawing that day. Here is what would happen:

1. Those responsible for the violence in Iraq, like Iran and Syria would stop the bombings. Why sacrifice more of your people???

2. After the date has passed and the US presence is gone then Iran will move in and the Sunni's better beware. Iran will not go in alone. They will be fully financed and backed by Russia and/or China. These nations will immediately control the oil fields and in essense have the US and the west by the balls.

3. The US will either

A. Have to fight Russia/China/Iran to get the oil fields back in order to bring the prices down.
B. Force a different form of energy on the west so as not to be slaves of Rus/Chi/Iran.
C. Negotiate with the Rus/Chi/Iran and pray that they are nice to us.

There WILL be a vacuum in Iraq if we leave too soon and more powerful enemies will ally to take over the oil rich nation. Iraq must be able to defend itself before we can leave. Otherwise a Rus/Chi/Iran powergrab will bring the USA to its knees - without a single bullet shot.

However if we hold fast until Iraq is strong then we will have a powerful ally in that volitile region and an indirect say in the price of world oil.

God bless the USA
