Is it time for this country to bring back our troops from Iraq?

Yes, time to ship them back here. There will be a huge demand for them after the appeasement commences in January, 2007!

Yes, I support our troops.\nI think the invasion of Iraq was a horrible mistake, but that certainly is not the fault of the troops.\nVery interesting points you make, although the rationing of resources I feel would be unnecessary.\nI would agree with your other two suggestions however.

I would love to say yes it is. But we can't leave now with the mess Iraq is in. I don't think we should have ever gone over there, we did. We can't leave them with this Chaos,  they have nothing in place to deal with any of this violence.We have to finish what we started. If we leave now, it only makes us look worse than we already look. I think it will be a long time before our troops can come home, unfortunately.

Soon is the hopefull answer Bush and Blair have announced plans to have all US and British military resources withdrawn from Iraq by 2010. Hopefully even sooner.\n\nWe should withdraw now but gradually handing over control to Iraqi security forces as we go.

I think we should bring most of our troops home, but disbanding the military seems like a really bad idea.  Going from a major world power that's hated as much as we are to totally defenseless is not such a hot idea.  I do think, though, that we could use our military power almost exclusively defensively.  But think about what would have happened in World War II if we'd had no military.  I don't know about you, but I don't want to rely on Canada and Mexico being nice to us.  Then again I don't want to rely on our government making good decisions, either.

The truth is if we can get our troops out of iraq you will see more people sign up. To most people right now it's like signing up for a game of russian rollette. Would you like to be the first one to put a gun to your head with a loaded chamber and pull the trigger. I think not. Till people know they don't have a risk of dieing because there most probley going to be shipped off to iraq your not going to see your recruitment numbers go up. The answer is support the troops but BRING THEM HOME!

No.  we can't just pull out of Iraq before its own government is stable.  Then it would be another Vietnam.  If we just pick up and leave, the country will turn into a police state, much like Somalia did during the Clinton administration.

NO\n\nhow do you think we got our freedom by standing back.\n\nin the public eyes iraq does not deserve freedom like ours.  we need keep fighting the terrorist for the people OF THE WORLD from the terrorist who rule it.  and we are not dictator we are freedom fighters who fight for FREEDOM,  JUSTICE AND LIBERTY.  unfortunitly people lost sight of it  and voted wrong yesterday.  \n\nand morally we are now also headed in the wrong direction.  people need to be responible for their action and not blame it on science or the society.\n\nfinally for the budget there goes the state and national level budget and economy and our taxes.  people what things to be in place for a better country and community.  but who do you think we pay for it in the long run.  we do with our taxes, not with the so called federal and state money people think we have.\n\n country is in a mess thanks to the ungrateful american public who forget how our free

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!

Our troops need to come back state side and be with their families. The troops serve only the bank accounts of the wealthy oil companies. They are killed for no good reason. Bush needs to get his head out his daddy and his daddies friends arses. BRING OUR PEOPLE HOME! NOT IN BODY BAGS!

Even if we pull our combat troops out today, the Iraqui military is still going to need logistical support for a long time. American troops will be there for at least a decade.

David,\nWanting the troops to come home is good thing.  Wanting them to come home before they have chance to finish a job that they have been given is not so good.  I hate to say it, but there is a mess over there now and to fix it is going to take a lot more troops.\n\nI don't like being away from my family.  But the job needs to be done and it needs to be done right.  I believe in doing something right the first time because you may not get a second chance.\n\nIf we were to bring all the troops home now there would be a lot more trouble and a lot more innocent people killed.  I don't believe that I will be going over there for the third time because of patriotism and freedom of Americans.  I do it to protect my fellow service members and those innocent Iraqi's that as of yet can't defend themselves.\n\nI hope this helps.

Draft?? Heck no. We need to be pulling our troops out, not putting more in. What is about to happen now in Iraq, a Civil War, is something that we will not be able to stop. We've done enough damage already to a country that isn't even the "hub of terrorism."

At this point of time, it does not seem as if Bush has any plans of completely pulling out the troops.  It still isn't completely understood by many people why troops were even sent in the first place.  The US has its values and beliefs, and Iraq has theirs.  Can you expect them to just give in?  If troops invaded the US to try to change our beliefs of government and living, would we give in?  Not a chance! We would fight as long as we had to, and if they pulled back, we would most likely invade their country as some sort of revenge.  I believe that George Bush will keep troops in Iraq as long as it takes for Iraq to give in to exactly what Bush is hoping.  If he gets elected out of office, if another of the same party is put into office, I still don't think troops will be taken out of Iraq.  Even if they are taken out by a change of party in the offices, the damage will already be done.  Do you suppose that their won't be anyone left in Iraq that doesn't plan to attack back?  The people in Iraq bomb US ports there now, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to bring it here as well, especially if we take all the targets out of their country.  I believe its only the beginning to what will be a very long battle.
