Do Americans Benefit From the Termination of the "Iraqi Reconstruction Oversight Agency"?

this is payback for all the fat cats who are connected to bush/cheney...yet ANOTHER reason it's good that the repubs have been knocked off their perch...they passed it...now, some of them (who voted for it) are hopping mad...it seems they were for it before they were against it...or against it before they were for it...or just ticked off that they got caught building a privacy fence around the cookie jar they had opened for their finincial backers...

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.

They are working but the revenues are currently going to the Iraqi govt.  They better provide us with some free juice though for the $$$$$$$ we are spending to rebuild their crappy country.

Yes.  \n\nThe debate over the reasons for being there and was it right or wrong really mean nothing now - it is done.\n\nNow the focus should be on providing the time and opportunity for the Iraqis to form and protect some form of stable government that is satisfactory to all the factions in the country.\n\nCan this happen?   Probably not.  I personally see little hope for a country where the religious leaders control the minds of the people as they do, have their own militias, and can murder the leader of a rival sect and get away with it.

NO\nThe primary agenda for these folks will be to find a way for us to shorten this unholy war going on in Iraq---with some solution as to how we do that without turning the place into the civil war blood bath that advisors told Bush would happen if he took the country apart and didn't have a plan on how to reunify it ---but he was just SET on teaching Sadaam a lesson \nThis group of people (Congress)  has their hands full at trying to regain control of an out of control administration !!!  They are not thinking of a draft-- something that would only happen in a widening of the war effort thing---they want us to exit this thing in some way with honor and dignity and leave the country of Iraq on SOME kind of govern themselves footing ----NO SMALL TASK INDEED  !!!!!!!

If you look at all of the polls that the news media have conducted, the answer is that most Americans think that the administration is a joke.  I'm one of those people.  I don't believe that Bush will be considered as a "great president", not even a good one.  Both parties are trying to rally for the mid-term elections which means blowing smoke, as if they have ever really worked. So, on the whole, I would say that Americans are very unsatisfied with our current administration. By the way, if you want a real outlook on how Americans feel, check out Democracy Now! (the exclaimation is actually in the title, I'm not shouting)

The sad ending to this story is someone who will make Saddam look like Santa will become the new dictator and life will be much worse for the Iraqis- we already made it worse for them.  And no, I do not believe America should be the "judge and jury" for any sickos that pop up- we are hated by all countries now and targeted our country for every terrorist and wacko out there.  When you see a cesspool, you should already know what is in it, you do not need to stir it up to have the shit float to the top, that is what our government has done in Iraq.

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.

well iraq will no way be better if the american troops were to pull out of it.\nit will plunge the country into a civil war with the radical factions assissted bu the neighbouring countries trying to take control of the secular govt installed in there.\nmoreover terrorist organisation would find it a very favourable destination to base their activities in the absence of a real and effective law enforcement agencies

If the new iraqi government cancelled all previous contracts with foreigners made by the interim government. then you'd really see a blood bath America won't leave till they've wrung the every last dollar out of that unfortunate country The british and australians should be ashamed to be sullied by this conflict

No. The Costitution doesn't protect people (probably) who aren't US citizens. Since Iraqis don't have US citizenship, we can do anything we want to them without violating the Constitution.\n\nHowever, imposing our type of government on them might be unethical or just plain stupid.

I think it was historically very necessary , though a lot of mistakes followed the wonderful destruction of Saddam and his cowered group who run away filled with fear hiding underground . The people there in Iraq deserves much of this sacrifice , keeping in mind , most of their misery was due to bad USA attitude in supporting Saddam and other\nprimitive regimens in arab world , without this support ,Iraqis possioly could at previous time get rid of this devil

no ....... after his terms of office ....... he should be rewarded an all expense paid HOLIDAY to IRAQ FOR A MONTH. those LIBERATED AND FREE IRAQI WANTS TO HONOR THEIR HERO WITH FLOWERS, HUGS AND KISSES

Yes. Because he was ratted out by one of his own. And more and more, the Iraqi people are informing on the bloody terrorist insurgents. Iraq has taken another huge step towards being rid of these scum.\n\nGod bless our troops and all those who fight for Iraqi freedom and liberty.

Hmmm, we did buy Louisianna and Alaska... and we did kill off the natives throughout the west... and we did have a war with the south to make them stay in the union...  I just don't think Americans would like the outcome of an Iraq 51st state national election... ha, and I'm pretty sure Iraqi's have no desire to become a US state.
