The U.S. military left Iraq in 2011.  Baghdad appears to be under attack by the very one's who we removed from power.  What did we accomplish? How many other countries will we 'occupy' to apparently reach our goals, disengage, and then watch it fall back into the powers that we removed.

Sunni led rebel groups are fighting along the highway to Baghdad.  They have taken Ramadi the capital of the Anbar province and Falluja. What have we accomplished? Years of warfare and thousands of dead American soldiers.  Are their deaths justified? Is there stability in Iraq or is another ruler oppressing an ethnic group? The Sunni tribe looked to America for protection from the Shiite. Now they look to militant rebels for that protection.

What have we accomplished?
