I think we need to withdraw all US troops today. Yes, we screwed up Iraq, taking it from a stable dictatorship to an unstable puppet government, but only the people who live in Iraq can fix their country, and they have to have the resolve to do so.

Time to move on, eh? I'm sorry, but that's a pretty unsophisticated and selfish way to look at it. I'm sure that's exactly the view of America that the Taliban fighters who are hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan have. Ditto for the Iranians and Syrians who are coming over the Iraqi border to fight the US there. They figure we'll just get tired of things and leave so they can take over.
Fortunately, our leadership -- including a few on the Democratic side of the aisle -- have a different view. They realize that you don't make policy decisions based on what's written in the papers and on opinion polls.

Yeah, they did a terrible welding job in Iraq. Applied way too little flux to the piping.

Too late for that now.
We broke it, now we own it.
If we can't figure out a way to fix it were really going to be screwed.
Now it's time for the American people to reach down and squeeze cause were going to need every ounce of determination and resolve we can muster.
We're in this for the long haul.

Time to move on yes, but I do however think Bush, Howard, and Blair should never have got involved in the first place.

I believe we got ourselves into it and now we have to stay and clean it up..otherwise no one will have trust and fear(so to speak) of us. We leave now and the terrorists will think we are weak and try over and over to do something else to our country until they succeed. Do I like this war...NO WAY but we need to finish what we have started! I think we could do with out the spending money over there too..We are laying people of jobs that have had them for 25-30 years and we are giving billions to the middle east..That doesn't sit right with me!!

I agree with u!! We need to bring our military back home and leave those people alone to take care of their own!! We had no business being there in the first place. Osama will get (his) in the end...
LETS MOVE ON

are you in the army? why should you be sick of the war, you've never pointed a gun at another man, never come under fire from exploding shells, never had rockets barely miss your helocoper. if the soldiers believe in what they're fighting for then we stay in, if nobody reinlists then we pull out. simple as that, its not as if it was you defeatists dying over there.
oh, p.s. you shoulden't use words you don't understand; like flux
