Will Bush follow the advice of his dad's old advisors (Baker & his Iraq Study Group) on how to get out of Iraq

George W. Bush is no longer in control. His father is now running the government through his proxies. Little George has screwed up and Daddy is going to try to restore dignity to the mess his little boy made.

While i'm sure Mr. Bush has indeed had conversations with countless people who are considered experts on the Iraqi situation. He has failed to act on any advice that would alleiveate tensions in the region. The situation has now become so bad that the solution will probally cost many more american and british lives there. Good question.

I don't think they'll bring them home right away.  Georgie boy made quite a mess - it's going to take a while to clean it up.\n\nI think that it will be sooner - but we can't make a mess in the kitty litter box over there and then leave it for someone else to clean up.\n\nI think our force will be smaller, and it will be there more for aide than for war/policing.  that is Iraq's problem now.\n\nUnfortunately, they're in a civil war - whether Bush wants to admit it or not, and a lot of Iraqi's will die in that civil war - but again, that's not our problem.  We were going to stay out of it anyway.\n\nI foresee that if the Dems win, and they will - our boys (and girls) will be back home in two years - tops.\n\nI think we'll withdraw from Iraq, possibly even Afghanistan, and go do something worth-while, like help out in Africa.  That's where the real help is needed.

I heard all the talk, they try to make you feel that you are a rat jumping from a sinking ship. At least the Democrats want to set a timetable to get out of Iraq. I feel this is a good idea. One it would force the new leader in Iraq to get his police force in line.

I think they have two years before the President is out of office and he will make it as difficult as possible. Hopefully they will not waste time digging up dirt on people and will just focus on moving forward.

The war in Iraq will end when the new Iraqi government can maintain what we have built for them. It does no good to pull out if the Iraqi Army and governement isnt ready to shoulder the load. If we leave before that time then we will have to come back and clean up the mess again. If we had eliminated the problem in 1991 then we wouldn't be here now. But we listened to the infinite wisdom of the United Nations.

He can't. President Bush only has a little over two years left, and it's time for him to start thinking about his legacy. At this point nobody likes him (not even his dog). If he is going to do anything REALLY productive before the Republicans in congress and the senate COMPLETELY turn on him, he's going to have to stop listening to his advisors, stop listening to his wife, stop listening to the Pentagon, stop listening to the press, and sit and think about why he REALLY wanted to be President Bush in the first place.

Yes, bush will be handed his hat. \n\nI look for an alliance between Iran, Syria, and Iraq in getting the U.S. troops out of Iraq. \n\nNostradamus, predicted that the new world (The USA) will come under nuclear attack from the middle east by one who wears the blue turban. That is the headgear of the United Nations. \n\nHe also predicted in the new world, the village idiot shall step forward to lead the people. Three guesses who he was referring to. \n\nNot to fear as there are movements now underway to insure that bush and cheney are impeached this coming spring. \n\nWith those two out of office, Nancy is next in line for President. \n\nDarryl S.

without a doubt.  if they don't go to iraq, they will go to an army base somewhere to fill in the slots of the active duty guys who are in iraq.  right now the army is pulling people out of field artillery units, forcing them to reclass to mp's and giving them 18 month orders at various army bases.  good luck to them

Yes. Bush Sr asked that troops be sent over there to remove the Iraqi occupation from Kuwait, not to remove the Iraqi leader. Once the Iraqi Army was removed and Kuwait was returned to normal, our job was complete. He did what he asked the troops for and got out.

Maybe Bush and Cheney will step down too.   No, there's a honeymoon period where both Bush and the Dems claim they're going to work together.  That should last about 30 - 45 days, then we'll see what happens.

I'm confused, is this a question about Bush or the future of Iraq?  Bush will only be in office a few more years.  Iraq has a future which will go on for a long time.  The thing is, Bush didn't ask the people of Iraq if they wanted help.  He didn't ask the people if they were happy with their old government.  What the people of Iraq are telling him is that they aren't happy with the Bush solution.  Bush needs to pull back and allow the people of Iraq to decide what form of government they want, that is after all, what Democracy is supposed to be all about.  Hopefully the people of the USA will speak loudly in the next election and will get someone who listens to what the people want, not what he(she) wants.

Their policy is to try to stay as long as possible and hope that something good happens. Unfortunately for everyone, no one in the administration has any military experience and knows little about military tactics or the mid-east. Recently 100 experts in military tactics were polled and 86% of them said that the Iraq war in unwinable at this point. Any of these "positive" developments in Iraq that we sometimes hear about are usually token victories, which are blown out of proportion by the media and the administration. \n\nAt this point, the best bet for Iraq and the U.S. is for all of our troops to be pulled out and let the Iraqis determine their own fate. The U.S. presence there is only deteriorating the situation.

President Bush might be last because of his misadventrures in Iraq.

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.

Stand firm on getting Iraq self sufficient.  Don't back down just because people are bellyaching.  Finish what was started and just take the critisism.  Future generations will appreciate GWB for his tenacity even though our generation is blinded by the trees and can't see the forest.

Bush and his cronies should come to the final decision that it is best to get out of Iraq. Each day we remain there only makes the situation worse. Unfortunately Bush does not seem to realize this. I'm not saying to bring them all home at once. What I am saying is to bring them home gradually, maybe even 500 at a time. We're not wanted there. We already have enough enemies. Bush should forget about Iraq's oil because the entire Middle East now knows that oil was our primary reason for invading Iraq. They only see themselves as next. GET OUT BUSH.
