Did you know that ALL 6 Joint Chiefs of Staff want us to stay in Iraq and WIN?

The Service Chiefs are the experts and I think that everyone should listen to their advice. The problem is that the liberals view them as the enemy. They don't want America to be able to defend itself so they are very anti-military. Look what the loony leftys did to the ROTC in San Francisco. They didn't care that the kids participating wanted to keep the program. They just want to push their Secular Progressive agenda onto everyone.

There is a solution, yes.  We need to stay in until we're done, until the Iraqi government is stable, and the people don't have to worry so much about the insurgents.\nTo the Iraqis I would say, "There is good in all of us, and evil, including our men and women who are in your country now.  MOST of them believe in what we're doing, and feel that you all have a right to be free of tyranny.  As soon as your government and police force are stable, we'll be out of here.  Keep doing what you're doing:  You're hopeful about the future, many of you are turning in the insurgents to the authorities, and you believe that we're trying to do good for you.  Keep your hope alive!  Most of us are, too.  We believe in you.  Please believe in us."

what are you talking about withdrawing? we haven't left. it will just mean our people will be over there for an even longer amount of time cause our current president is a moron for thinking we have to stay there and be a police force

Just pull the troups out and let them come home, they have done their job. Iraq will have a civil war regardless if we stay or not so why not just let them have at it and not lose anymore American lives.

It is a lost cause. Most Americans do not believe in the war anymore. I believe we will stay for another year and then leave. The American people want the troops out of Iraq.

That sounds good. Let's recall our troops from Iraq and send them in to fight a war that is worth fighting.

When the mission is done, Iraq can defend its democratic state by itself, and we will not cause unrest and instability in the area by pulling out.\n\nAnd NOT a DAY sooner.

I heard a reliable story the plan was to put Bush there.  They plan to use the 20 million set aside for the Iraq Victory party to pay for it.

I believe so.When five retired generals think he should go,that's a pretty good sign that he has not gotten the job done.Personally,I would have aked him to resign long before now.This war has been a farce.Our troops went in woefully unprepared for the combat they are now engaged in.We did not take the insurgents into consideration.Why not? Isn't that part of Rumsfeld's job? The sheer arrogance of this man is appalling.He ,like our president , will never admit to mistakes made.They just keep telling the American citizens to be patient.Baloney.There is no exit strategy now and who knows when we can expect any.We're in such a mess now that I don't know if there is a way out that will allow us to save face with the world or not.There is something wrong when practically all the president's cabinet and colleagues are at the center of controversy every time you turn on the television.

No, they will not leave Iraq, they are just saying that to get votes.\n\nAfter the recent internet postings, it is very apparent that there were WMD's in Iraq, and the info. can not be disclosed.  All of Congress knows of  such.  A bit hypocritical

I agree with staying until Iraq and Afghanistan have solid governments and the factions have quit butchering each other to gain power. I don't know if enough Americans can stand the length of time that may be needed to get it done.

Why they don't want to leave, a lot of people are making a lot of money off this war!! I is like everything Bush tries to do it might sound good at first but it fails!! And Bush refuses to go there and say it is time to get it together!! They never spend enough time their, They try to make it look good with visits for a few hours and are out of there!! As all the press says they are headed for civil war and that will just keep us there longer. The so called Iraq government can't agree on anything over there and it is time for someone to step in and show them and demand it be done,HAven't enough of our troops died for this??

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.

Ask the Iraqui's.\n\nThey want us there.\n\nThe UN wanted us there.\n\nTherefore, everything you've said against the war or Bush is a Fairy Tale.

I am with you all the way. Some positive things are happening in Iraq and some progress is being made...but at a terrible cost of coalition and iraqi lives.\nThis war was a mistake, but no one in the white house will admit that they screwed up, so they say "We must stay the course" which is just another way of saying, "if we pull out now, it will be admitting that it was all a mistake, so let's KEEP making the mistake and maybe we will come out smelling like a rose."\n(Which isn't going to happem)

Sure if the US forces want to be the next Saddam, otherwise get the hell out!

No, we are not losing the war. We won't win the hearts and minds of all iraqi's and there will still be problems, but we've removed a genocidal dictator, taken the first steps in liberating Iraq, witnessed elections, played key roles in rebuilding the country's infrastructure, partnered with 27 other nations, and we're doing the right thing. I agree we should pull most of our troops out when it makes sense, but now is not that time.
