            U.S. had nothing to do in Iraq in the first place. As for the withdrawal, you have to consider what will happen after that. I think the goal here for the Democrats is that U.S. young people must stop dying there. I am by no way a Dem or a Rep. I don't need them to tell me what to think.

            Maybe. But considering how much the al quida goons are commited to defeating us there, I'd say we picked the right fight. We should fight them when ever and where ever they choose to oppose us. Iraq is as good a place as any to do that. Iran would be better though. Or Pakistan. Or Syria. Or Saudi Arabia.

                Obviously, you believe we have no obligation to stabilize the mess we made. Just cut and run, come what may, eh? Who cares how that impacts the future of the mid east, or even the U.S.. Anything to avoid even one more casualty. What a crock.

                    Not historically accurate. Republicans before Nixon always accused Dems of being too trigger-happy and too eager for foreign interventionism. Dems started WWI, WWI, Korea and Vietnam.

                            We should have never meddled in Iraq in the first place. I want the Iraqis to get their own country back so they can have their damned civil/religious war and sort the matter out amongst themselves. Sunni and Shia have been fighting longer than Catholics and Protestants. Let's get out of their way and let Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia squabble over the remnants after their holy warriors slug it out.

                              No more consideration than we have ever given to the innocent in any war we have ever fought. We have the right to defend ourselves and to take the battle to where ever the enemy is. The added benefit is that when we are finished, the Iraqis will be better off than they have ever been in their history. Just like the German's and the Japanese.

                                        Those of you who are taking the stance that the US needs to exit Iraq in accordance with the Democrat timetable, please step forward and claim your allegiance --- if you want the US to lose the war in Iraq, please so state for all of us to see. It's time you show who wants to win and who wants to lose. C'mon, boys, step up to the plate. Here's your chance.

                                        to win... what an interesting concept! I find it cowardish to leave the country in the mess you brought the Iraq into. But it's your 18 year olds dying there, and I can't weight their lives against thos of Iraquis. How would you define "win"? Even when discounting half of the news as badmouthing, it looks more like time to cut your losses.

                                          No more consideration than we have ever given to the innocent in any war we have ever fought. We have the right to defend ourselves and to take the battle to where ever the enemy is. The added benefit is that when we are finished, the Iraqis will be better off than they have ever been in their history. Just like the German's and the Japanese.
