Iraq May Not Love Us; But....
Just Read This! What were you planning for your kid, your grandkid, your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife who happens to be in the military to be doing over the span of the next decade? None of those matter to you? Had any plans for your tax dollars over the same period of time? Go read, I have nothing further to say.
Well yes I do actually.
If you haven't read the article, the Iraq Minister of something or other says they need US troops for internal security until 2012 and for external security until 2018. The surge certainly seems to be..., just what is it doing? We started this stupidity, are we obligated to see it through? Should we bail out and let them fight among themselves and with their neighbors? Hey George, yeah George, you, any thoughts? Oh, sorry, I know your busy working on your legacy. John? John? Mitt? Barach? Mike? Hilary? I know, you are either in favor of leaving as soon as possible or staying as long as is necessary, I read that Sunday in the New York Times. Could we have a bit in the way of details? Oh, yeah, that might alienate a voter or two. How silly of me.

Regardless of which way any of the candidates might state as their "plan" for Iraq, it's a move that no doubt would prove to be political suicide now because of the attack that stance would come under from either the right or the left. It's a can't win situation for them and also for us because it's akin to buying a "pig in a poke" then, not knowing where each one really does stand on such an important issue. Frankly, I don't think any of them - and this obviously includes the DUBYA - don't HAVE a plan and they just can't bring themselves to tell us we're stuck in a huge patch of sinking sand, either way.
If Iraq become a nice democratic society like we want them to be, then we shouldn't have a problem. Should we?
You got it right. I'm sick and tired of hearing these people trying to be pretty faces to everyone while sucking up to their "base" as much as they can.
The problems are right there, out in the open, but all we get are platitudes and promises of gain without pain.
We need a few leaders to come forward, not these pretenders!
Hey Dave.
It doesn't matter what the Iraq Minister of Whatever wants; we're going to keep our troops there as long as we want to, not one minute more or less.
I've thought all along that the real reason we went into Iraq was to establish a permanent presence in that country. The job of watching all the factions in the Middle East got too big for the Israelis to handle, so now Uncle Sam thinks he has to do it himself.
