I'm in Iraq right now. Me being on here should give you an idea of what I'M doing...nothing. What's it like? HOT! Alot of people do have it pretty rough over here though, but I wouldn't say the majority have it all that bad. It just sucks being away from home for so long. I don't think it's really getting better. They're gonna fight us as long as we're here.

Many do not understand that, like you do.  I'm actually in the military now, serving in the Army and stationed in Afghanistan for the next year.  It's great to hear about your support for the military >^.^<

I'd say a Pyyhric victory is still possible, but only if we can muster enough troops and descend on Iraq in sufficient force to close and control the borders,then clean it up from the inside out.  We need to acknowledge to our allies that we really messed up, and ask for help.  They may not give it, but we need to try.  Walking away and leaving such a monumental disaster of our making is utterly dishonorable.  Bush and his supporters made a terrible mistake, and it's much too late to do anything about that, but we should not simply throw up our hands and leave Iraq to its fate.

I will put it you this way I am here to do a job and i am not leaving till it is done. It would be a waste of billions of dollars and millions of hours of hard work. Until the government is stable with a military that can protect it we will not leave. The only reason that we are going to pull out early is because of people complaining about it all the time and give the U.S. troops a bad name.

I so agree with you bro, I went to Iraq in 2004 and I was in Baghdad for a year. I'm currently in college and I love my country and I love the army, but Iraq was a huge mistake It's a fucking mess over there. I hope american leaders will wake up and realize the sooner we leave the better, because its only gonna get worse over there. I prey that no more of our countrys children will have to endure anymore torture over there because this war doesn't benefit anyone. BRING THE TROOPS HOME, and OBAMA FOR 2008.

As soon as we open up settlements in Iraq I will buy your argument. But until then...get some sleep you are embarassing yourself\n\nThat is a serious statement, so is this...u r unstable!!!

ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE SOON... iraq is on the verge of all out civil war: shiite muslims fighting sunnis muslims within the country. situation there would be best assessed by US army intel operating within iraq.\n\nI feel it would be irresponsible, even catastrophic if US troops were to be pulled out now.

What are the stakes? Some Iraqis might turn against USA?, Some Afghanis might do some thing in retaliation? Some others might say something against US?\nBring army back home and leave the world alone, the world does not need your help, no dollars and no bombs, Stakes will be over and you wo'nt need to be smarter.

At this moment in time, no, I don't believe it's stable enough for a complete troop withdrawal.  The Iraqi government is not stable enough.

you are already doing that.before you invaded iraq,all were living in peace and harmony.who went against the law (how ever the laws were strict)was punished.but after march 2003,you made a brother kill his brother in a jungle where law naver exist under your supervission.why was the army and security forces desolved and all their assets looted.how can you build such forces in short time,whereas the old ones took 82 years to build.this is the results.mellitias,gangs,undiciplined forces.total curse.what else you want.

Why worry?  No matter when we pull out Iraq will collapse into a civil war.  That is the trend when countrys invade other countrys to "rebuild" them.  So we are the bad guy no matter what.\n\nBecause we are there, terrorists exist in Iraq.  So now that they have settled in Iraq will always be a mess.

nice to hear you're still alive anyways i think you made a good point about that but remember it's the media and thats what they do blow things out of porportion. Some Iraqis aren't as innocent as they seem anyway really come on suicide boomers please you made that dumb @ss choice to do that it's ur fault ur blow into smitherins and where does the media think there coming from Marines risk their lives to be there defending our nation.......not that i support it or anything but they deserve the benefit of the doubt.My advice ignore the media half the time they don't know what they are talking about.

Finish the job and then pull our troops out.  FINISH THE JOB is the key!  We can not go in and destroy a country then leave them in shambles.  We must stay until the bitter end!\n\nGOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!

I came from a very well to do family and served as an officer in the Army during Dersert Storm. I also know that I am by far, not only one from the good side of the tracks. Please don't even begin to preach about this being a Poor Man's War. As a Sneior NCO, I would expect you to know better. I support the troops and the goal 100%. I do wish we had a better plan, and would definiately like to see the peace in that region and our servicemen and women home sooner than later. My opinion has nothing to do with supporting the party line.

Ask G.W. Bush. Thanks to his vendetta, it doesn't look like we're gonna get out of there anytime soon.
