Letter to the editor:
There are plenty of reasons to leave Iraq

Why are people saying that if we pull out of Iraq we lose the war? We have already won that war!
We accomplished everything we set out to do: We invaded, beat their army, took out Saddam Hussein, searched for the elusive weapons of mass destruction, installed a democratically elected government, created a new Iraqi army, got the oil pumping again, and successfully accomplished the “surge.”
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki wants us to leave. It is their country, not ours. It is their war to fight now. We, on the other hand, are victorious!
