Maybe you would like to modify your question with actual news items from which you cite your quotes. I, for one, put no evil past the US and British corrupt governments, they have proven themselves to be liars, traitors, and thieves. But many Americans still refuse to believe their own eyes and ears. I hope they wake up soon, before we have no liberty left.                              And Richbro, anyone who would quote the likes of Ann Coulter (another treasonous pig) to support an indefensible and irrational opinion probably deserves to share with her the fate she would wish upon others.

I have been thinking that way for a long time. there are some dodgy questions being asked. a couple i have seen, How Many Exactly US troops in Iraq.How do you get to a certain navel station. How many tanks has US got in Iraq. Do you know when a certain Division is about to be moved over to Iraq. these are just some of the ones i think are suspicious.

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.

No it is not crappy. It is pure hell.  \n\nThose troops in the vid are bloing off steam. If they didn't they\ncouldn't do the job.

You need help alright. If we are supposed to believe you are serious. Come on if you were really in Iraq how is it you are on this site? Gimme a break! <rolls eyes>

Regardless of when the troops are withdrawn, there will probably be a Civil War. The present government that came into power with US help and backing realize this, hence they want the US to remain to secure their hold. The nation will probably end up with a strongman style dictatorship, like Saddam's but will be friendly to the US, at first anyway. However,I do not believe, the US is in there for oil, and definately not to win the "Hearts & Minds" of the Iraqies. They are mainly concerned about the 14 military bases being built, which will put the US & her client state, Israel within striking distance of all Arab & Persian territory. Although, I think your suggestion about letting the Iraqi people decide will fall on very deaf ears. If there was honesty involved about the war, I would think your idea would be the best way to let go of the tiger's tail...BUT??????????

I really appreciate your sentiment for it is what we were all brought up to believe is good about this country.  But may  I suggest that this is not a war.  It is an occupation by the United States of another country.  We were told that the people of Iraq were being held in oppression by the horrible dictator Saddam Hussein, and that they would be throwing flowers at our troops for setting them free, we would be welcomed with open arms.  Why do you suppose we have had to stay for three years, fighting door to door with citizens who desperately wanted us to enter their country and set them free?  If our policy was so concerned about their human rights, why are they fighting us to the death?  I offer this thought for discussion, for it sounds to me like we were not told the truth about what we are doing there, and the Iraqi people have made it very clear with the sacrifice of the own blood, that they do not like what we are doing?  If we were oppressed by a dictator and someone came in to set us free out of the goodness of their heart, would we fight them door to door for doing so?  I think not.

Yes they are.  I conducted operations with them during the year that I was in Iraq.  Obviously all the other people who answered have never been there.  For all the operations that they conduct though, you will not hear about them.  The SF with us did very little training with our Iraqi counterparts.  I can't tell you what they did, because we just can't talk about those operations.

Our criminal leaders did not invade Iraq to "help" anyone but themselves.  They staged 9/11 to scare us into supporting whatever they decided to do.  Those of you who do not understand this, WAKE UP.

You tell the Iraqi government they have until, say,  6 months from now to get off their duffs and take over their own security.  \n\nWe gradually recede into the background.  \n\nIf the Iraqis stand up and do the job, good for them.  If they don't, too bad.\n\nIt's that simple.  It's what the Dims have been saying for quite some time, but because the Bush administration cannot admit a mistake, they cannot admit that something besides their "stand there and take it" strategy might possibly work.

not so easy my fraind.the millitary was humilated and destroyed by saddam the moment he took over,the iraqi armed forces faught a bloody long and intensive war with iran for 8 years.by 88 the armed forces where exhausted,& so was the economy.before they gathered breeth ,they were thrown in kuwait where they were never ready for,and without the consultation of of even the chief of staff or the minister of defence.strange isnt it!!!!.the armed forces were so weak that the ordinary soldir was not able to get more than a stony pice of bread every two days.no logistic support.tanks were in no fighting readeness,you could see that on what was called the victory parade held in baghdad in winter 89,with the heavy smoke of the tanks & apcs engaines that blocked the vission.at that time the coalition was announcing that the iraqies have the 5th strongest army and they threat saudia arabia and the peace of all the world.halfe a million men with 2500 war plkanes and huge numbers of the most modern weapons slaughtered that weak army during its retreat in 91.the order of retreat was given by saddam at the last momment,it was a desaster for an army cant retreat in one day.plus,no one belived the order,because saddam himself stressed manytimes that the millitary must not retreat even if they hear his personal voice in the radio,cause his enemy is capable of forging his voice.after that there was blockade and sanctiones for 12 years.no new arms,no ammunition,no equipments,no spare parts.what ever was left of air crafts was grounded.by 2003 the iraqi armed forces were reduced to skeleton forces,very low moral,(the general was paid less than 30 us$ p/m as a salary).what was left was only small arms.noe,how can any one fight the abrams tank and f-117,or cruise missiles with rpgs or ak-47.who can fight without air fotce or navy.why should the forces fight when they feel that they are humellated for 35 years.who agrees to gight under the command of a dirty kid(his son)or an ice seller?who ius ready to have his children orphaned and wife widowed with no one to take care of.should they die so that saddam become richer and his sonesrape more of the iraqi girls.the armed forces felt that they were strange in thair land.they refused the slavery .it was totally idiotness millitarilly to face such a mighty force with nothing.that is why they didnt fight.no honest man can blame the iraqi millitary for not fighting with honour,but fighting has its conditions.

NO. I have friends and family who are in Iraq in the military and my father in law just got back from Iraq as a civilian bomb dog handler. Each of them has told me how saddened and sickened they are by the media portrayal of only negative things from the war. Each of them has told me about how they can see positive changes in Iraq and how much better the living conditions are over there now and how they have started schools and brought order back in many places. I don't think that is a waste of time. It is hard for us who have people we love over there and I am sure we would like to see them all come home safely and not have to be at war -- but the efforts made my our troops in Iraq are not a waste of time.

alot of people are talking about the democracy that was brought by usa to iraq.how do you understand democracy.how can democracy be implemented under occupation.what kind of democracy is there when the occupation army,forigne security personel are above the law,they can kill,humilate,rape,anyone they like without questioning.since an order was passed disqualifying the iraqi courts from hearing any such case.do the worl know that the present speaker of the iraqi assembly was kiked & hit by a simple solder because he requested to enter the green zone to go to his office,this happened to two other ministers and many senatores.is this the human righta the usa brought to iraq.do you think the iraqies dont know democracy!!!!.read thair history.what was the counsel of the nation  1922-1958.now who brought dictatorship to iraq.wasnt it the most stable and advanced arab country till 58!!!.how did saddam climb to power ,he was a mere deserting soldeir who never served nither in the army as a soldeir nor in the govt at any capacity.w2hith no qualifications what so ever accept secendory school and a record of being a murderor when he was19!!!!.how was he made the vice president as his 1st appointment in the govt in 68.which power was behinde him.these are facts & there is alot more.you have destroyed one of the finest countries in the world in the name of democracy and big lies like wmd,9/11,relations with alkaieda.who used to warn saddam when there were several coup attempts against him.why wasnt he removed of power in 1991 desert storm when the coalition armies destroyed his army totally and was at the outskirits of baghdad.he was a sitting duck then.think deeply about these questions.

Yes, and it's actually quite simple. Give the Iraqi government a SPECIFIC deadline to withdraw coalition troops and stick to it. They are not holding up their end of the deal. They think if they continue to appear weak and in distress that we will stay inevitably, and we seem to be falling into that trap. Our administration needs to get a clue that they are really being played by these people. How's April 1st. No Foolin'.

When we took over Iraq, my hopes were that we would use it as a staging base for an overthrow of the Iranian Government and establish a couple of military bases in Iran. I hate to say this but the "Axis of Evil" (collaboration between Iran, North Korea, and Iraq) is real and has been in existence since the 70's. Let's take out Iran and then North Korea is next.

Uh, duude, we're not "attacking" Iraq - we conquered their armies 3½ years ago. What's been going on for the past 2½ years is that we've been helping the democratically elected Iraqi government protect their people and train their troops and establish their new government. \n\nThanks for noticing!\n\nOh, and the reasons we went there:\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021007-8.html
