Gardenforge is quite correct in his assessment. Bin Laden swore 20 years
ago that the war would be brought to American soil. If they are not
beaten now, once and for all they won't wait 20 more years. Prepare for
more body bags in your streets,
more emergency triage centers, more dead fireman and policemen, more
dead civilians. This is what you face if your troops are not permitted
to complete their mission.

Sucks, huh?

If religion is involved, it will never be over.

But, it's Iraq we're replying to. Not what Bin-Laden said 20 years
ago.

the war in irag is about terrorism too not just weapons of mass
destruction they are harboring terrorists there

ok karma i see your point,but what should be done to stop it all.we cant
be there forever.if we keep sending our troops over there,they wont be
here if something does happen here again?i wish they would just end it
all.

get out.. hirosheema their azz and be done with it once and fer all..
sheesh.. simple solution eh??


AFTER of course we get all the civillians out..
OMG.. I'm not a TOTAL beOTCh..

go!

well put zero,thats what they should do.but will it ever happen? no.
why? because then we would have to help them rebuild,and this country is
already in the hole.

CRAP dude.. every MONTH it costs a BILLION $$ for the troops to BE
there.. think it'd be CHEAPER to RE-Build.. don't you??

pull our troops out and consentrate on bin laden.we are over there
helping rebuild there country and training there troops to keep
order.and that is costing american tax payers billions of dollars.that
money could be going on things we need over here in america.and whos to
say that they wont turn their backs on us after we are done doing all
that crap for them.

yeah i guess you're right,we're already in debt so why stop now

rocketman i'm sure they probably will,they'rejust using us for a bunch
of suckers.

go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I just know I miss my son and can hardly wait until he is safe back
home.

as ever, a proud mother of a US soldier

I think we should nuk them and make it The USA take all their oil and
everything.

aside from the nukin.. isn't the USA alREADY takin all the oil??

Why is this even a question?

Let me see if I got this correct: Iraq starts wars with each of its
neighbors in the last 30 years - Iran, Saudi, Kuwait, Israel etc. They
BEG us to take care of the situation, in fact, its our contractual
obligation to do so!

So we do it once for Bush the 1st, and again for Bush the 2nd. Everyone
complained that Bush-1 didnt finish the job. Remember? Now Bush2,
despite his gross incompetence, and baldfaced lies about WMDs, somehow
manages to pull off a 100% millitary victory, a COMPLETE victory, at the
cost of 3000 soldiers.

Think of it - complete domination of a country, including air, sea and
ground occupation. And why is everyone saying "bring the troops home"?
Because every day we hear about dozens, maybe hundreds, of killings in
Iraq each day. Thousands per month.

Few if any are Americans. Clearly, the Iraqi's arent killing Americans!
Clearly the Iraqi's are killing each other. Americans aren't the ones
dying - its the 30year old problem of Iran vs Iraq - Sunni vs Shia
muslims. Tens of thousands of ppl have been killed by either sectarian
side. And you want to pull out the troops NOW? For what? To allow the
death counts to skyrocket?

Can you, with a clear conscience walk away, knowing that your refusal to
contain the situation will lead to open genocide? Why, so that there are
no more soldiers killed? You can make the call that 10s of thousands of
civillians will be killing each other just to call back soldiers who are
doing what they volunteered to do - and that is to keep the 'peace'?

I cant.

Yes, Bush lied. Its a mess. But, Saddam's eventual death would have
caused this same scenario - Shia vs Sunni. In a twisted way, maybe its
BETTER that US soldiers are there now - to keep the killing from
becoming a genocide.
