It's time to stop fighting in Iraq

The Iraq war is a costly and unjust war that needs to end.

We have been in a war in Iraq for over five years that has cost us over 4,000 lives and achieved nothing.

Since we invaded Iraq, we have lost our allies and our credibility while strengthening al-Qaeda.

Right now, we are losing the war on terror because we are fighting in Iraq instead of in Afghanistan.

We need to end the war in Iraq soon because all we are getting from it are casualties and a drain on our budget.

If we stop this war now,we will be able to get back to the real war on terror and end the senseless slaughter in Iraq.
