Don't increase troops in Iraq

No more American troops for Iraq, please. We recently tried adding thousands of troops to Baghdad in Operation Together Forward, and it made the situation worse, with a 43 percent increase in violence toward American troops. Adding more troops makes no sense whatsoever. By continuing to support this war in Iraq, we are making our country weaker. I am sure Iran and China are cheering us on as we go deeper and deeper into debt and deplete our military resources. We need to get smart by getting out of Iraq, putting our money into bolstering our degraded military might and going back to putting diplomacy before war.
