Iraqi war not over yet

President Barack Obama has inherited a situation in Iraq similar to that of Nixon’s Vietnam. It’s peace with honor. In other words, the US can’t leave and face defeat. Obama wants to withdrawal but he won’t want to look like a president who “lost Iraq.”

National Public Radio comments continuously state that many troops will stay in Iraq for some time. There are also reports that Obama’s planned surge will not go as scheduled, due to the situation in Iraq and he won’t have the resources to respond to the situation in Afghanistan as he has promised. This can mean only lingering war and a continuation of the failed imperialist policy of war in both countries of the Middle east.
