If we pull our business ( oil ) out of there it's their businessmen who will be going 'well, just shit now.' And it's their businessmen who will start pulling strings to get things under control. They either can't, or don't need or have the will to do it when we keep jumping in and doing it for them.

I have a deep respect for how Obama's been handling foreign affairs. I wish he'd just step back a little more, if he can.
