I say make the hard choices or bring troops back. What do I mean don't p ussy foot around when your attacked hit back and hit back hard. I don't care if your in a mosque if you fire on me I'm coming after you. I am a Canadian that served in the U.S Army infantry and was in Iraq. My wife was in Iraq as well in intelligence. This war is bull crap. Everyone knows it. But the U.S has f ucked this up so bad that now we have to stay and die for the mistakes of the intelligence community. Everyone that thinks Iraq is a good idea has no idea what being on the ground in a hostile country is all about. Cowards all. 80 percent of U.S falls in this category. War is a great idea when your P ussy a ss doesn't have to fight in it. Looks great from a 60 inch screen try seeing it from a hasty V. Not to mention this isn't a war its 100,000 cannon fodder sitting in the desert so Kellogg brown and root can make money. If you don't bring the troops home or move them to safer place when the Iran war comes troops in Iraq will be killed in droves. All those that wish to stay the course in Iraq your local recruiter would like to chat with you. Why don't you back up your words with action P ussies.

Given that Bush has agreed to a speedy withdraw, I think its going to be a combo of Go Long and Home.\n\nHome -  a huge number of troops will finally come home.\nLong - I believe there will be US presence for a long time.  One is to help transition(there would be even more chaos w/o US forces).  Secondly, establish a US base like Okinawa, Frankfurt and many others around the world.\n\nI would've voted not to go there in the first place.  Since we're in this mess, I would have to vote for the Home (withdraw large numbers and keep some there until Iraq is able to manage things).

I'm in favor of getting out of there, but I'd hate to leave the Iraqi's who helped us in a fix like we left the Vietnamese when Nixon pulled us out of there.  I have always been against the war, but I don't want those people to have to pay the price for helping us.\n\nWe had NO business invading Iraq to begin with.  We should have concentrated our energies on finding bin Laden, the real culprit behind 9/11.

I opposed going in. However,\n\nIf we leave now, chaos will result. Kurds vs. Shiites vs. Sunnis vs. Al Qaeda. It may be that civil war is inevitable anyway. If the US pulls out before the (hopefully) democratic government of Iraq can raise a reliable, well-trained army to protect itself and the common Joe Iraqi, the troops who have dies really will have died for next to nothing - especially while Saddam is still alive. No, Bush stepped our foot into this. Its too soon to wipe it off.\n\nThe bigger problem is knowing when it will be okay to leave. Our fearless President has failed entirely to define the criteria for "victory." Of course, this leave him (and the US) the option of staying on indefinitely.

No, and only a complete heartless moron with no honor would think so. We, for whatever reason, right or wrong, have caused too much damage in Iraq to just leave. We MUST clean up our mess.\n\nIf you go to someone's house and make a mess, do you just leave it for them to clean up? You shouldn't!!! It is as easy as that.

no. the US should not pull all of the troops out of IRAQ right away. it should be a slow process while the iraqi govt learns how to handle the present situation on its own. by doing so, they will no longer need the US there and they will become a fully funtioning country that is able to defend its self.\nand im in the USMC

Here is the main problem and it worries me sick.\nIt is horrible timing for our toops. Our 4th Infantry Division comes home soon. There will be a blow up in Iraq over the conviction of Sadam. It will bring out all the crazies and terrorists who use him as their fight against the USA. He is there scapgoat. Because he is convicted they can rally Iraqis to plot terror in Iraq and who knows where.\nOur troops will be most vunerable coming home soon. And the troops that are going over are leaving now.\n\nBad timing to say the least. Bush should have thought about the safety of the troops and gotten them to delay the outcome until January.

NO!!! I was so surprised when people began to think we should pull out!!! We cannot leave until we finish what we are there for; to get Iraq back on it's feet again.

I dont think any one side is winning. I believe that the U.S. should bring the troops home and stay out of other people's business.

Obviously you have valuable experience that would help in the current conflict.\n\nUS troops should be open to hearing other perspectives.\n\nHowever, the real problem is NOT with the troops, it's with the President who put them in Iraq in the first place, and who fails to give them the support to do their job right.\n\nIt's the President who really should have listened to the other countries in the UN years ago, who said give the weapons inspectors time to do their job. But no, he had to invade, and there were no wmds.\n\nPlease don't blame the US troops - they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. Blame the Americans for electing Bush again, and blame bush for not listening to the experience of other countries.\n\nNow that we have voted in a Democratic congress and senate, things will change rapidly.

Yes. Bush should apologize to the entire world and he should step down
