Good god NO. If we attack Iran Syria will invade Iraq and our troops there will be flanked from the east and the west, not to mention what other Arab countries would jump in. Our troops in Iraq would get slaughtered.

Yeah, weve stole so much oil since we have been in Iraq.  Get ur facts straight.

Of course they don't.  Iraq has opened up a can a worms we really didn't need to open.  The entire area will be destabilized for next the half a century.

Didn't you know?  We won the war on May 1, 2003.  That's when the Pentagon declared the end of "major combat operations".\n\nApparantly, no one told the Iraqi people...

It was on the news today. President Bush said that he will not pull the troops out of Iraq, even if the American people want it done. This war will still be going on when he leaves office. And when we (U.S.) finally leave, we will have won nothing, and they will still be killing one another. (It saddens me to say these things, but it is my belief, not a condemnation of policy).\n  I hope I'm wrong and that Iraq gains democracy and self control of their Country. I would love to  say I was mistaken in my judgement of events.

Very badly I'm sad to say.  We should have known this,  and no doubt Bush was told of this possibility by his military.  I don't believe it is republican pride so much as from everyone's being deliberately lied to about why we should  have been there in the first place.  We should have gone to Afghanistan to get Osama, whatever happened to him?  He's probably  sitting in a Paris cafe drinking coffee and reading about Iraq in the paper.  Iraq was a deception perpetrated on the public,taking advantage of the patriotism of the American people.  The shame is that it looks like Iraq will never improve, only serving those who are pro fitting from it, while our troops get wounded and die, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis perish.

The reaction is just as many of us predicted. Al-Queda in Iraq is now claiming they are winning the war because of the democrat victory. Iran will now step up it's own rhetoric. People we are in for a bumpy ride. Are the democrats up for this challenge? Think of Murtha, Kerry, Clinton and Kennedy.....do they inspire trust with you in the realm of National Security?

2.5% of Iraq's population has died...when?  Maybe provide some follow-up statement and context for your quesion.  I'm sure everyone will blame the US, it seems to be the cool thing to do lately.  I will give you this, the US did light the fuse in that part of the world, but it was bound to happen eventually.

Man seriously you know if we leave Iraq, then mayhem beyond what we are "supossed causing" will just be worst.\n\nRead some Iraqi blogs.\nyou will then see the truth.

I agree/disagree.  We can win in the long run.  The hope is that 20 years from now Iraq will be economically stable and it's people jamming to the Eagle's. peace

Oh my god, it totally slipped my mind how Iraq bombed Pearl Harbor!  They probably sank the Maine in San Juan harbor, too.

The U.S. is sort of in a bind in that it can't really win (the way we originally thought a win should look like) and we can't really leave (and have it look like we made mistake), so instead we'll phase out our troop levels over a period of years (10?) and continue to reassure the public that the Iraq government is able to handle things themselves and we're no longer needed, and it's anyone's guess how we'll explain the ongoing vioence.  How sad though for the families of fallen soldiers who may not see the ultimate worth in their sacrifices.

Loss?  Hardly.\nIs there an offical Iraqi government? Yep, it was voted in today.\nIs the Iraqi army coming along? Yep, the Iraqi military will be in charge of 75% of Iraq by the end of July.\n\nHow much "land" do the rebels hold? None, although they are fighting in five cities in the country the size of California.\n\nI think the U.S. will be out of Iraq by 2009. The Iraqi military will probably be incharge of over 90% of Iraq within 2008.\n\nTerrorist cells are being split by Afganistan, Iraq, Sudan and Somallia.  They can't reinforce any one area well (because their recuits would rather fight in an area closest to them) and their money and weapons are drying up.

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.
