There have been some very intelligent remarks made in a topic that actually was started as an understandable rant from a broken hearted young lady.

Here's my as I always have to say:

1. People incorrectly combine the chase for Ossamah and the Iraq war together. Their only connection is the fact that they are occuring concurrently and in the same region of the world.

2. If we pull out prematurely, Iraq will implode. Right now they are not strong enough to defend themselves. The total rebuild of a country can't happen overnight. It doesn't work that way. Bush is on TV justifying it still because it's POLITICS, ie. PR and necessary because of all the misinformed people out there. This thread is a very good micro sample of how the public perceives everything. Many people buy the whole media liberalism. Hook, line, and sinker. Even if it clearly doesn't make sense. Why do you think that the moniker of "war for oil" has gone by the wayside? Cause it turned out to be stupid now. That's all you used to hear about, "war for oil, war for oil, war for oil".

The same way pulling out our troops prematurely would be like letting grass grow on it's own. Eventually weeds will come back if you don't keep picking them out. Well, right now Iraq can't weed on their own just yet. If we leave, the weeds will quickly take over much in the same way Saddam did years ago....thru scare tactics via a coop. It will be like declaring Anarchy. Who do yall think is the strongest? Terrorists that are well funded, trained, and totally dedicated to their cause or freshly liberated newbies who are still looking over their shoulder because they can't believe that Saddam is TRULY gone????
sorry i haven't read this whole thread b/c i'm lazy but....

there is a connection between Osama/Iraq that was the basis that Bush used to get into Iraq. Iraq was supporting/funding terrorism. So w/ that and going against the UN inspectors was the chance for Jr. to pick where Sr. left off.

Of course we can't pull out b/c how would Bush look to the american people if we did that??? This is what keeps him in office; making it seem like we are doing the world a favor. Personally i don't think there will ever be stability in that region. You can't go in and think you can change bibical wars in a few years... not going to happen. Only thing to fix that region is ARMAGEDDON!!! Only a tree huggin hippie can think we are they liberating people(which is fucking BS)... if that was the case then we could of started on this side of the world and worked our way over.

I personally think Bush is an asshole. The only reason he did the PR stunt is b/c his ratings are dropping and people in america are disalusioned(sp?) about the war. Our economy isn't recovering, oil prices are sky high, & its the same ol story "rich get richer the poor get poorer". I support our troops but i do not support their Commander/Chief.

ps. on another note they don't care about our troops anyway, they are the same administration that sent out PHOTOCOPIED letters to dead soldiers family thanking them for the service their children provided. its amazing you don't see any of their children in iraq
