i dont have an opionion on the matter, im currently in the military serving in a combat MOS (11B, infantry) and i can tell you WHY we cant turn over control to the iraqi goverment, because they couldnt lead a godamn girl scout troop. there leaders are corrupt there military/para-military forces's have been infiltrated by such institutions as the Mahdi army and Badr Brigade. if we leave now the resultant blood bath will make whats happen seem insignifcant. Al Sadr wants to take control over iraq and hes willing to kill the Sunnis to do it along with the Kurds and anyone else who gets in the way.
as for the troop build up 2 days ago the Iraqi PM agreed that we need to start targeting such elemnts as the Mahdi army (it was in the news), the mahdi army is est. 200000+ strong. the Iraqi PM promised to give soldiers for any upcoming operations.
as for good men and women dieing thats a fact and ive known a few of them. as for everyone saying we were led in under false pretense ya we were screw it were here now live with it and let the armed forces do there job and dont pull us out till were done then your invalidating the job of all the men and women who have died. and please look throughout history people these situations have happened in the context of others the only thing that keeps screwing up america is the peoples will not to continue in the course of action that the administration sets for us. it makes us appear weak towards these terrorist orginizations why do you think Al Qeada attacked? we were weak and they saw the oppurtunity.
now i ask whats better, pulling out and having a pissed off unstable iraq in the middle east. or helping them stabilise TEACHING them the democratic method and having an ally in a region that hates our guts?

As my nephew who fought in Iraq said. " We are helping a country find a democracy, and I hope to help make this country a better place." Yes, many good people have died in Iraq. We need victory in Iraq so that our service people will not have died in vain. I hope the troop surge makes the difference. I will back this attempt because the President has set down a time line for the Iraqi people.

The president opt to apply Iraq as quickly as greater for his very own very own pastimes. Iraq conflict answer is on no account a militia one. Iraq is an element of the midsection East and there's a huge hearth interior the midsection East reported as Israel occupation. The President new technique won't substitute a concern without finishing the Israeli previous occupation and there is no longer one center jap u . s . a . is keen to help him alongside with Israel. Bush ought to take heed to his father greater and Baker-Hamilton checklist and to the two President Carter and Clinton. I say Bush ought to deliver Baker and Hamilton to the midsection East they are = all the troops in Iraq.

I have a son there now and I'd like to give him a fighting chance of coming home. Leaving the dictate of law and the application of military power to the Iraq's political process has not worked,,, so far..
I think we have come this far I'd like to see democracy work. I'm not sure that they (the Iraq's) can make it work. Theirs is not a society of law, but one of power. At lease reinforcing our troops, and changing the rules of engagement may make it a safer tour for all of our troops. The insurgents will not be able to take food and care by day, and by night and in the shadows take pot shots at our troops, without their wrath being brought to defend them selves more completely. The spineless attackers that they are the insurgents will choose softer targets and hopefully the Iraq's will know that and be ready for them.

Too many good men? I guess there must not have been enough women who died for your taste, eh? But then, you don't have any idea who died, and you don't care. All you want is the Liberal sycophants who will inevitably come out to call Bush a Moron.
Or...
You ignored the 43,976 other times this question has appeared since the president first mentioned it.

I say bring them all home! We went into Iraq under false pretenses and lies...we've accomplished nothing....we aren't safer today in our country as a result...the world hates the US...what good has come from this? Get out of there and focus on domestic security and fighting the real international terrorists....Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. If you wanted to bomb someone for that then go after Saudi Arabia.
In a nutshell, quit killing our soldiers because Little Georgie is trying to avenge his father's failures.

All righty, bring the troops home. Let them come back. And then watch as the Iraqis drop an atomic bomb on Capitol Hill. Then all you Demoncrats will be in an uprage. "Why didn't Bush protect us?" Uh, he tried to! So get a life and support our President for Pete's sake!

Here's what's REALLY going on with Iraq!...

They should've done it a long time ago. We've been playing w/them too long--we need to go in and finish this thing and then let the Iraqi government do what it needs to do--Please don't say for what? My brother was killed in Iraq and he believed in President Bush, this war, and he fell in love with the Iraqi people. He did not die for nothing and he certainly did not die in vain.
