You can thank Bush, Cheney & Rummy for that fantastic mess over there. All those dead servicemen & women.... for what? Over a lie.\n\nThe problem now is, if we pull out...Iraq decends into an even worse mess than it is now. The sad fact is, we should go in with a huge multi-national force and revamp that country start to finish. \n\nIf they are not going to do it right, then yes, get them the hell out of there.\n\n< Peace >

In totally agreeing with you, dare I also add: \nBetween Afghanistan and Iraq, over 50 million people have been liberated. Both the Taliban and the Bathists have been taken out of power, Saddam is on trial by the people of the country he ravaged for decades. Pakistan and India along with 129 other countries are now our allies in this war. The emerging Representative Republic of Iraq, with their new constitution, is now giving hope to the whole mid eastern region. Many changes are now taking place in Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and several other Arab countries. 14 of the Iraqi provinces are quite secure, with two more, more or less secure. The only real hot spots now are the two in the so called Sunni triangle. The Iraqi economy is now growing by about 10% a month. Since it has many natural resources (fertile land and lots of water and the worlds largest un-tapped oil reserve)they have now re-planted all the thousands of date palms that Saddam destroyed and are now exporting produce to Iran, Turkey, Jordan and other countries in the area. At any other time, a conflict like this would over run their neighbors with refugees. In this case the opposite is true, the refugees are returning to Iraq from where they have been for years. \nPilgrims are flocking to their shrines on holy days\nLittle girls are now going to school for the first time, not only in their young lives, but for several generations. Women now may vote and some even hold office in their new government of the people, for the people and by the people and under the threat of death. I some times wonder if we shouldn't just give them our once wonderful constitution that the ACLU and the Neo-Socialists of this country have been hell-bent and Devil driven to destroy, after all, we don't use it any more any how.

Ha Ha Ha, that was beautiful Dal. We think that G. "DUBYA" is lining his and his buddies pockets, at our expense that our view.\n\nI had to edit we know he is.

I think "Dubya" is a terrific president. He has done a lot for the safety of the nation from foreign countries, unlike Clinton. Our gov't is always shown to be the bad guy, but that's because of the liberal media. Conservatives are condemned for ridding the world of the evils, but liberals are praised for sparing them, consequently causing more turmoil. I don't really want to get started, so I'll cut it short. President Bush is wonderful.

yo, rock n roll.....why you think that dubba was so certain that there were WMD's.......'cause Daddy sold them to the tyrant when he was 'running the country'. and check a few more facts before you start crapping on Clinton about China, etc......he's not the one poking the big ole bear with a stick right now.....Bush is.....so, gather some facts instead of just spouting off things you heard on the street corner.  and, you know what? if I were the First Lady, i would not be sucking or blowing anybody either......\n\nClinton is getting a raw deal now because the republican based news media is shoving it down our throats while Bush golfs with Daddy every month......shut it, okay?\n\ncheck the stats of the country when big ole bad Clinton left, and check 'em now.....in my opinion, the worst thing they did was steal all the W's on the keyboards when they left office......

My husband works in Iraq as a private contractor and has told me first hand....the U.S.military,civ contractors and the Iraqi military  have all ,together,done alot of good for Iraq and its people.But no,it wont be shown on our news or in the papers,at this point people dont want to know that any good is happening.Most people thrive on gore and negativity.The media is a joke ! I'll continue to open emails that show very positive proof that its indeed taking place.

Go big.  We made this mess, we have a responsibility to clean it up.  We need to stabilize that region.  Walking away will only let the chaos we've already created escalate.\n\nIt was an incredibly stupid thing to do from the outset, going into Iraq.  Bush, and the people who supported him shouldn't be still calling the shots over there, based on their track record alone.  But, for the first time since the man took office, I find myself agreeing with him on one point.  It's a mistake to leave Iraq in this mess.  The entire region will implode. \n\nHowever, it's idiotic to say that troop levels over there are sufficient, they are woefully inadequate at best.   Big--overwhelmingly big, preferably--is the only chance we have at getting control.\n\nBTW--I've voted pretty much straight Democrat in all elections, this last one included.  The need for change in our leadership is obvious and necessary, but I believe we can't afford to compound the error we made (I say 'we' because over half of this country supported the invasion of Iraq, so much so that 'we' re-elected Bush for a second term) by leaving Iraq to it's fate.  We will never see the end of violence in that region if we don't get control of it now.  If we leave, and Iraq becomes a terrorist stronghold, how long do you imagine it will be until Israel is engaged?  Anyone fancy a nuclear war in your lifetime?\n\n\nArcticchick--you seem to have forgotten that convenient intelligence failures, coverups, and deliberate circulation of misinformation have been the main attribute of  GW Bush's administration.   Your selected excerpts do a fine job of implying that, despite the fact that their support was based on erroneous information, the Democrats are to blame for the Iraq invasion.  You demonstrate how well Bush & Co.'s tactics worked--and continue to work--on the segment of America's populace who refuse to acknowledge what terrible consequences have resulted from their support of this administration.

The courageous Iraqi patriots who spotted him from the video he relaesed and had the bravery and faith in democracy to do something about it.\n\nGod Bless President Bush for making this possible, and having the wisdom and strength of character to stay the course while all of the terrorist-lovers in our own back yard have been sabotaging America. I feel honored to be on the same planet with such a great man!

Thank you!  we should be happy if the Iraqi's build their government, so they can do things their way. Yes, they needed help. They didn't know how to build democracy, but America has backed off as much as they could. I want to visit Iraq someday and spend my money there as a tourist. If they form this government right, Iraq can get rich just from the tourism. Iraq is beautiful, they deserve to be able to show off the beauty and make money at the same time. I can't wait for the day to buy in their markets. Sit down in a cafe and drink coffee. Visit their Museums, swim in their waters, buy me some Delicious Iraqi food. I'm so excited that someday it will be safe. I love Jordan. and Dubai. Iraq will be like that and all the world will be spending their money there. I want to find out what kind of fish they have that I could fish for.
