So for all the blood spilled and money spent on this mother of all military misadventures, things could still go south in a heartbeat?

Coupled with Al Maliki's newly aggressive posture on getting Americans out of Iraq as soon as possible and the reality that it doesn't look like US companies are going to get much of Iraq's oil, one has to ask: was this war war worth the terrible cost?

These wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have nearly bankrupted this country. This administration is trillions of dollars in debt, and has no way to make it back to any degree of solvency.
