Get out of Iraq and protect our borders

We should never have invaded Iraq in the first place. Iraq is only about oil and Bush's fantasies. There was no terror threat to America until we invaded them. Now all Arab terrorists hate us more. If we had stayed the course on bin Laden, we would be much better off. His network is the main problem. But guess what, no oil. So why bother?

We need to change the course, remove our troops from harm's way and just protect our borders. If that's too hard to accept, then stay the course. But most of all do not say we are not patriotic Americans because we want our troops home.
