What happens here in America when we pull out of Iraq??

Heres the deal we pull out now we WILL get hit again. We are so far into this thing there is no backing out.. And as for yall who are saying that the military wants out no we dont.. Some of us may but they are a small few. We have seen this country first hand, we know they need our help. Pulling us out now would be like the first time we wnet in. Leaving somthing half done. I for one would rather stay get it done right this time then have to go back over again with even worse people in controll over there than there is now. So all yall who think your talkin for us saying we want out you need to stop talkin to that one percent and pick up your ***** and join and see what we go through over there. You are talking to the ones who don't even want to be enlisted anyway. Come to us lifers and see the ancewer you get.... AMEN

What happens here in America is not dependent on whether we pull out of Iraq – except that we’ll have more money to spend on national security. If the terrorists were as simple minded as the Iraq War supporters would have us believe, then we should stay in Iraq forever in order to prevent the terrorists from coming here.

Unfortunately, the terrorists are not stupid. They are not limited to actions in Iraq. I even doubt that many of the world’s terrorists are in Iraq. The sectarian violence is enough to keep Iraq smoldering while the terrorists plan their next targets. The war supporters like to spout silly slogans that make no sense whatsoever. I think it gives them a certain false sense of security.

1. Even if we pull out of Iraq, we will not really entirely pull out of Iraq (there will still be "advisors").

2. We will continue to attempt to exert influence on the government in Iraq .

3. Many American soldiers will live longer.

4. Israel may find herself in a rather scary position, should Iraq go radical politically.

5. The price of oil will probably go up in the short term.

6. Diplomatically, we will have lost a degree of "face" and credibility on the world stage.

7. And many, many other things...

That is a scary question. Unfortunately, if we pull out before the Iraqi government is able to defend herself it will be a safe bet that Iraq will fall mostly under the Shia control radiating from Iran. So we will see the mass murders of the Sunni population within Iraq. Iran, with it’s new found wealth power and prestige ( yes prestige , since they would have beaten back the great ‘imperialists’(American) army ) will be the controlling force in the region. You will most likely see a withdrawal of our current Middle Eastern allies to an axis allied with Iran. After all, they would be stupid to ally with the US, we can’t keep our promises. Once that occurs, you will have Iran in control of a large percentage of the worlds oil reserves thus revenues to continue with the mission Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stated as his destiny. But I’m sure we will be alright, after all, the democrats will go talk to them and make things better. Oops, that’s right, according to the extremists, we are no more than vermin and it is their duty to kill us…..

If we wait to pull out until Iraq is stable and able to stand on it's own, then there will be a few parties, some speeches and a much deserved break for a majority of the troops. If we pull out too soon (anytime before Iraqi's are able to walk down the street without some extremists trying to kill them just because of the sect they belong to) then there will be much finger pointing, all kinds of bad feelings among everyone and the troops will just be gearing up for the next inevitable step in this war on terror.

Nothing. The sky is not going to fall. People will still drive their SUVs and get fat eating junk food, and in time both 9/11 and all the dead of this war will be forgotten.

Hopefully the Congress revokes the Patriot Act. All the media fearmongering has been a ridiculous overreaction. We took all the goodwill of the world after 9/11 and we pissed it away on trying to do "Extreme Makeover" on a crappy little country that didn't deserve our help anyway.

The ingrate Iraqis can do a Darfur on each other all day long as far as I'm concerned. Let's take care of ourselves for a change, and stop trying to save the world.

I agree, yet we will not carry off that civil conflict between the three factions perpetually. The occupation is costing approximately $10 billion consistent with month, is largely financed by way of borrowing (deficit spending) and is unsustainable over the long term until the Iraqi government ponies up that $10 billion consistent with month. in my opinion, i think the US needs to contain the different center jap international places in helping to grant protection in Iraq. removing Saddam grow to be a conventional blunders in judgement. He grow to be the only guy or woman protecting the Iranians at bay. i think that Iraq (in some unspecified time interior the destiny) will dissolve right into a greater Iran = Persia.

If American pulls out now or in 10 years there will still be violence. People who grow up in a violent society will they themselves become violent (even without any real excuse).

So Iraq is screwed. And I wish people would stop pretending they care about Iraqis. I don't and neither does anyone reading this.

Well according to John McCain the terrorists are going to follow us over here.

I think eventually we are going to find out whether that is true or just another reason to keep us over there.

But don't we have everything in place to prevent that from happening?

We have Homeland security and the Patriot Act and our highly trained security people....FBI, the CIA and others.

If we are successful in moving our troops out of the area than

I would suggest right now that we, in spite of our past failures to do so, and to see what was coming in advance that we take steps now to be more secure.

All the evidence was out in front both for 9/11 and Katrina and yet the powers that be couldn't put it together.

Now they have fair warning in advance. Lets see how it all pans out.

They are already making a mockery of democracy with Sharia Law in the Wahabist Republic of Minnesota...what else do you need for proof? Have you forgotten there were two acttacks on the WTC, on TWA flight an American solder was kidnapped and killed by Wahabists, the USS Cole etc...See the World Almanac of World Events 2007. I guess people will be convinced when they are being issued burkas and demanded to convert to Islam or die huh?
