My reasons...

1) It worked SO well the first time around.

2) A few hundred more US troops will put the fighting spirit into the Iraqi army! (Wanna buy some Iraqi Army rifles...? Never been fired and only dropped once.)

4) We haven't pissed away NEARLY enough money on that shithole.

5) We haven't pissed away NEARLY enough American blood on that shithole.
