Be honest with yourself

Expand Post »
I registered with a new nick-name for not influencing your choice, and to be free in your decision
--------

After three years in Iraq.
After thousands of dead and injured soldiers; and still counting.
After billions of dollars spent, not on rebuilding Iraq, but on the war itself; and still counting.

One would pause for a minute and ask oneself with complete honesty;
Shall we get out of Iraq?

Consider this as a poll and vote with sincerity;
Shall we get out of Iraq?

Re: Be honest with yourself

While I push for pulling out of Iraq, you have to ask yourself.... what happens if we leave? Do you think it would be right to show up, take over, and bail? Do you believe that we have trained enough Iraqi Police and Military to be able to stand up on it's own?

Re: Be honest with yourself

Iraq is nothing but a quagmire. Staying there will do nothing but cost us nothing but losses of lives. We should have never gone in the first place. I am 101% for pulling out.

Re: Be honest with yourself

I think they should come out, just not yet. You cant just go out all at once as the ramafacations of such an action will be immense. The bush administration knows this. The democratic party says that they are all for the removal of troops, but if elected, they wont immediatly leave either. It will be a slow process so the country can slowly get aclimated.

Re: Be honest with yourself

Iraq doesn't cost many American lives, only several thousand. We should stay in there, then invade Iran, followed by Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, and so on. After we conquer Australia we'll get two extra soldiers every turn, and that should make rolling through Asia like a walk in the park.

Re: Be honest with yourself

You will never have peace without war.

Several thousand lives over many years is nothing. Thats what other wars would do in a week and nobody though it was terrible then. War is War. It is very ugly. Our troops are doing an amazing job over there, and that is why there are so few lives lost. God bless this country. If anyone thinks it is so horrible or its choices it makes are so wrong, then those people need to get their asses out of this country to let the millions that are waiting to get into it.

Re: Be honest with yourself

We went into Iraq without real goals. Well, the original goals (removal of WMD) were fake.

If we would have spend the trillions of borrowed Dollars on alternative energy, we wouldn't have to worry about gas prices, home heating and home cooling. Research, development and manufacture of alternative energy like wind, solar, bio-diesel, ethanol, butanol, fusion (cold or hot) would have created a lot of good paying constructive jobs.

Well, now we don't have any money left, and future generations of hamburger flippers are stuck with paying off the debt! Just my limited opinion.
