The Iraqi government will have to do that if they want it.  The US government can't keep forcing themselves on countries that don't want them there.

They will stay until Iraq is stable enough to be on its own, and not a minute sooner, I assure you. The President still controls the military and both Democrats and Republicans can see the value of a reliable Democracy in the Middle East so do not expect them home anytime soon. Sorry to burst your bubble, I know you just want them out of harms way.

You can thank Bush, Cheney & Rummy for that fantastic mess over there. All those dead servicemen & women.... for what? Over a lie.\n\nThe problem now is, if we pull out...Iraq decends into an even worse mess than it is now. The sad fact is, we should go in with a huge multi-national force and revamp that country start to finish. \n\nIf they are not going to do it right, then yes, get them the hell out of there.\n\n< Peace >

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.

We need to finish what we started, not just show up for the party and leave the cleanup for someone else.  I doubt there will be a full military pullout for a long time.  Personal opinion aside, if the US is truly a government of the people; then, we will be there as long as the majority of Americans believe we should be.  A silent voice is an uncounted voice.

Just about all wars see major shifts in goals and tactics at some point making the original goals and tactics obsolete.  If we leave Iraq tomorrow the result would be a major power struggle resulting in a winner.  that winner will be the badest of the bunch and most likely hate the west.  We will leave him the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world.  He will spend that oil wealth on exporting terror with the best weapons money can buy.  We are part of this world we better have a force there!!

withdraw all your soldiers

our troops will stop dying for that particular cause and Iraq will probably revert to a war torn arena that is governed by warlords and/or different religious factions until the most powerful one is able to take control, which will probably/definitely be another Saddam.... then you will have another situation unlike the previous and we can start all over, probably with a US leader that will not invade but will allow a military buildup and then we can just let them invade us..... after all, the only thing most (not all but most) of the governments in that part of the world want is the complete destruction of the west.... which includes us and anyone that is on our side................. so while no one wants what we have there now.... the choice is finish it and get out or get out and let them finish us............... our choice.

Probably not. We need to take our time to make sure this turns out the right way. If we try to leave to quickly the whole Iraq liberation would be a failure and we'd have another vietnam.

sorry to say we can't... we've f'd up iraq so much now, we have to maintain a presence there for many years to come.

aandek amaan?  \n\nIt would not be safe to withdrawl now.  For Americans, and Iraqi civilians.\n\nOnce the Iraqi government is stable, we will leave.\nIraqi's must vote to show faith in the government.\n\nMaa as-salama, allah wiyakum.

Oh, I hope not.  We created a hell hole in Iraq already and have yet to clean up after ourselves.  We are weak in military power and can not stretch any more.  I do not believe we could pull off two military campaigns.

Wars and feuds have been going on in the middle east since BC. Taking bets chaos will ensue within one month of pullout.  \n I hear that some of Cheny's friends are building bases in Iraq as a deterrent...who is going to pay the tab to have the infrastructure building Corporations like Halliburton and it hundreds of subsidiaries. I agree with you on regaining the confidence of the American People.

The UK has already begun the retreat. I expect Australia and others to follow. We are too deeply entrenched to do exactly that very quickly. Democrats know this. We are likely the ones who will remain behind to help Iraq. \nThere are much deeper reasons aside from democracy for Maliki's call to remain in Iraq indefinitely. There are ties between Iraqi leadership begging us to stay, Saddam's death sentence, and Don Rumsfeld's resignation yesterday. Maybe something on the scale of Watergate from the Nixon era.
