What is your opinion on the war in Iraq and what should we do to get our soldiers home?

I think the war in Iraq is wrong and we need to impeach Bush and the rest of the cronies.

My husband was deployed to Iraq for a year leaving me with a 1 year old and missing the birth of his daughter.  My thoughts on the war, stop trying to take over other country's when you cant even take care of your own. ( as far as the president is concerned)

Bush and his cronies should come to the final decision that it is best to get out of Iraq. Each day we remain there only makes the situation worse. Unfortunately Bush does not seem to realize this. I'm not saying to bring them all home at once. What I am saying is to bring them home gradually, maybe even 500 at a time. We're not wanted there. We already have enough enemies. Bush should forget about Iraq's oil because the entire Middle East now knows that oil was our primary reason for invading Iraq. They only see themselves as next. GET OUT BUSH.

At this point, just leaving Iraq right now with the situation it's in is a recipe for disaster. If you think it's bad now, just imagine what it'll be like without us. On the other hand, it's more of a catch-22 than anything. If we keep staying in Iraq, insurgents will keep killing soldiers. If we leave, however, everything we've done will be for nothing. The closest thing we can do that would be considered winning in my opinion is to have a functioning government, an army that can hold it's own, and basically get Iraq back on it's feet. After that, then we should leave. If there is *no* way we can win the war without anything like divine intervention, then we might as well leave.

I do not know but i wish the soldiers can come back home because, it is very stressful when they are there and we are he in America it is really hard. to here that people or family members are dieing for us it makes me sad

I don't think they'll bring them home right away.  Georgie boy made quite a mess - it's going to take a while to clean it up.\n\nI think that it will be sooner - but we can't make a mess in the kitty litter box over there and then leave it for someone else to clean up.\n\nI think our force will be smaller, and it will be there more for aide than for war/policing.  that is Iraq's problem now.\n\nUnfortunately, they're in a civil war - whether Bush wants to admit it or not, and a lot of Iraqi's will die in that civil war - but again, that's not our problem.  We were going to stay out of it anyway.\n\nI foresee that if the Dems win, and they will - our boys (and girls) will be back home in two years - tops.\n\nI think we'll withdraw from Iraq, possibly even Afghanistan, and go do something worth-while, like help out in Africa.  That's where the real help is needed.

Be a good citizen and vote when it is your time.  Oppose the war in a lawful way.  Make sure that politicians are blamed for the war and not the soldiers.   \nI am sure that there are a few in the military that think the war in Iraq is wrong.  But faithful to their oaths the go on serving.  You can support them best by lobbying your politicians and Voting!

It is a lost cause. Most Americans do not believe in the war anymore. I believe we will stay for another year and then leave. The American people want the troops out of Iraq.

It's very clear, we (for the most part) despise our president... one which lost the majority election years ago... We, as Americans, support our troops and want them to come home... We, as Americans, don't like the war in Iraq, feel we went there on false pretenses and disapprove of the entire ordeal.  Most Americans feel we should bring our troops home RIGHT NOW and stop this BS... We have no business being there, the army took out Hussein, their primary goal, so the jobs done, they don't want us there, we don't want to be there, so why are we still there?  \n\nGod bless our soldiers, dying because an idiot wanted to fulfill daddy's wishes...\n\nlol, yeah, and when we leave and they have another trained army (just like Hussein's) that's really going to stop another tyrant from taking over?  All it does is train the next leaders troops when we go to war in the next decade.  Their army, security, and police have had the training they need.  We aren't providing any real security anyway, they are now just using American and UN soldiers as an excuse to slaughter civilians and avoiding confrontation as much as possible.  It's a joke, when we leave they will just have a more powerful army for the next power hungry leader to use at his disposal.

The Iraqi people don't want the US there. The US is well overdue to come home. The soldiers are just doing their job, granted. But there is a distinct line between  a false liberation and an illegal occupation.

Supporting our troops and the war in Iraq aren't the same thing.  US military sign an oath to do what the US government tell them to do.  It's not their fault we're in Iraq.  I support our troops, but I want our government to end the war and let them go home to their families.\n\nUnfortunately, since the war is already started  it's not possible to just leave; but I'd like to see the young people replaced by GW, Cheney, and the rest of the politicians who thought it was such a great idea.  Personally, I'd send John Kerry first, so he can try to earn some of the medals he brags about.

Sorry, baby. Your daddy will be coming home very soon, because many of us voted today, to bring the troops home soon.\n\nHang in there!

I joined the Army in 1991, and served for 4 years. My brother is in Iraq right now. What have you ever done for this country?

I'd love to hear what our forces in Iraq think about this illegal immigration issue that is going on back home.  If any are on here, I hope they will speak up and tell us what they think.

I saw some things on the news about I think that now its not about fighting I think now we need to train our soldiers to train the Iraqi soldiers to do the job our soldiers are doing like raids check points. I heard this guy(god rest his soul) who was a marine and he talked about how no one seemed to understand the war but he did that he was fighting for these peoples freedom. I dont know I dont think we can solve the problem but I think we should in no way send more troops I think we should train the  Iraqi troops to do what our troops are doing and then leave. Because if we left right now all at once I feel like everything that we have accomplished will become a waste and speaking as a military fiance the soldiers who are fighting and the ones that have died all the hard work we dont need to go to waste.

I would pull the troops out. I feel as long as we're out there getting killed in war the terrorists are winning. War soves none of this problem.

Lost cause? I think so. Due to the political pressure back here in the States the job was never going to get done the way it should have been. \n\nPull out? I am curious about that. I'm wondering how we would pull our troops out in such a way as to not make the ones temporarilly left behind more vulnerable since Iraq is so unstable.. Obviously they can't all leave at the same time. \n\nI wonder how those who just want them out of Iraq lock, stock and barrel would deal with that situation. It seems like it is all or nothing. Stay there or leave. Who is going to point to which soldier and say you get to go home immediately and you can't. You get to leave in a month from now but in the meantime don't get killed. \n\nIf we care soo much for all of our troops wellbeing how is leaving prematurely going to give the utmost protection to all of them. No one here at Yahoo answers who just wants the troops out addresses what the consequences are to those left behind waiting for their turn to leave.\n\nDie in vain? I would say to those who lost a loved one in Iraq before the job is done, yes. To all of those who are just anti-war or anti-Bush, probably not. I don't think they will give it a second thought. The soldiers who have fought and died in Iraq are props to be used politically any way they can. If they truly cared then they would be taking into consideration how to get *all* the troops home safely moreso then just constantly saying get them out without even realizing to do so with the conditions being what they are in Iraq that a higher percentage of men and women will die during the transition.
