What Happens To Iraq As We Lose Our Focus There?

Power Line posted an article yesterday on what has been happening in Iraq as we begin to focus on Afghanistan.  Remember how the Democrats squawked about how we took our eye off of Afghanistan and went to Iraq.  They are doing that in reverse now.  We had pretty much won in Iraq by January of this year, and now things are going downhill rapidly.  No one believes we are serious about supporting freedom in that country.  April of this year was the worse month for Iraqi deaths since July of 2008, when that number was rapidly dropping.  The number of deaths in April numbered twice what the January and February number was.  The article reports:

"Moreover, the Washington Post reports that the al Qaeda pipeline from Syria is "back in business" after a "lull."

"None of this is surprising. With the U.S. disengaging militarily, Iraqi militias, insurgents, etc. have every reason to become emboldened and to begin jockeying for an enhanced military position. And with President Obama taking a soft line on Syria (and, indeed, exploring a "dialogue" with that terror supporting state), the Syrians no longer have much reason to fear paying a price for promoting instability in Iraq."

Nancy Pelosi has promised that we will pay an intense political role as we diminish our military presence.  This is the same sort of thinking that Democrats used when they cut the funding to South Vietnam and the country fell (after they had essentially won their freedom).  There is a book out by the commander of the North Vietnam forces that tells the story of how the Vietnam War was won by America, then given away to North Vietnam.  The killing fields followed.  If President Obama does not begin to realize who America's friends are and who America's enemies are, we will have another killing field in Iraq.  We will also have an exposion of terrorism in this country and around the world.
