The present approach does not seem to be working. That enormous embassy suggested permanent residence for the U.S. It is time for the Iraqis to step up.

It may be moot if the Democrats get the house. They will likely defund Iraq just as they did in Vietnam forcing a retreat, a loss and a withdrawal. Then the security of the U.S. was not threatened by that action, but this time it will by encouraging the radical Islamists to attack the U.S. again.
