Hummm like Iran isn't part of the problem. But I say he might be right. We leave and let them battle for power. Then Iran walks in and takes over.
And look for oil in our own lands. It is here and if we really get change Obama could just get our two houses to agree to open up govt. lands (owned by the us citizens) to development. There is no need to do much research or much risk. So prices wouldn't have to be as high. Now thats my opinion. Any other opinions?

U.S. presence is Iraq's main problem: Iranian leader - Yahoo! News
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's supreme leader told visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Monday that the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq was the biggest obstacle to its development as a united country.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei hit out at the "occupiers" in Iraq at a time when Baghdad is negotiating with the United States on a new agreement aimed at giving a legal basis for U.S. troops to stay in Iraq after December 31, when their U.N. mandate expires.
Iran and the United States blame each other for violence in Iraq and are also sharply at odds over Tehran's nuclear program, which Washington suspects is aimed at making bombs. Iran says it is a peaceful drive to produce electricity.
"The presence of occupiers in Iraq, particularly the U.S. armed forces ... is the main obstacle to unity in Iraq," state radio quoted Khamenei, Shi'ite Iran's top authority, as saying.
