Iraq!

Iraq is a waste in my opinion. I dont think anyone knows why the f*** we are still there. Although I am no better, i have no sugestions of how to pull out and still save what we have acomplished there. Anyone have an opinion? C'mon people speak up!
The reality is that Iraq is following the same pattern of all guerrilla conflicts and "suicide insurgencies."
The best thing we can do for the Iraqi people and our soldiers is to leave now. I guarantee you the country will stabilize more rapidly once we redeploy.
We asked out troops to topple Saddam and enable a constitutional democracy... they've done that and they did it well.
We did not ask them to become Iraqi policemen and POLITICIANS, nor did we ask them to become sitting ducks in a civil war.
It's time to honor the sacrifice of our sons and daughter by getting them out of there.
Bush/Cheney and their private contractors are just going to have to take what money they have already made and be satisfied with that.
"Fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here" is NOT a strategy, it is a SLOGAN.
Slogans and "vision" as you call it do not win wars. Get with reality.
The Troops have done their job. It's time to redeploy.
It's time for Iraqis to take responsibility back for their country.
We can't be their policemen and politicians.
The troops have done their job, and they've done it well.
They toppled the dictatorship and caught Saddam.
They completed the search for WMD's.
They ensured elections and the formation of a government.
Its time to {{{Bring them Home}}}
Thanks,

I don't know where your obsession with Bush is coming from, but this is about War and very real strategies and consequences. this is not politics. Politics is is what you are asking our military men and women to do and that's not part of their job: that's a job for the Iraqis and world leaders not our troops.
Am I to believe you are one of the folks that thinks Vietnam could have been "won" if we just "believed more in the war?" Wishful thinking doesn't win wars. Practical thinking does.
This is not about psychology or "planting trees." America has inspired countless revolutions and democracies simply BEING AMERICA: a free and open democracy where all people are equal and have a chance to succeed. You don't spread democracy with force, just look at the history books.
I don't know why people are so concerned with "appearances," this is about the reality of war and suicide insurgencies. the fact is, the mission WAS accomplished when the Iraqi's had their elections. We can't babysit them forever, and they'll never take control of their own country unless we give them the opportunity.
Our troops did their job, now it's time for the Iraqis to do their part.
