Should US & Allied troops pull out of IRAQ ??
- sauceruney0
maybe our presence is only postponing an invitable Iraqi civil-war
maybe it isn't inevitable
If only we here at newstoday were privy to the intelligence our own government has seemingly ignored, I'd be able to give a better answer.

yeah, leave it as is and let them fight it out over who is gonna be boss. that would be the humanitarian thing to do.

i agree with you tfsmag.
we should've pulled out a long time ago, we always have this need to fix other people's problems when we cant/havent fixed our own.
and now we're a police force, and those are soldiers over there. are we the world's police now?

if you make a mistake, don't you go and try to fix it? if you wrong someone, don't you at least say i'm sorry and try to take action about it. or is it just me (and millions all over the world)? no blood for oil.

They shouldn't have been there in the first place.

My brother in law may be sent over in a few weeks.
The thought of him going over there and dying for this cause make s me ill.
Bring them home.

Now that they've started, they better damn well finish it. Just leaving would be like asking for a new Saddam.

What the US is doing over there is really dirty. It's not responding to the democratic will of the people - cos that wud be too dangerous. It's in the processing of installing a "puppet" regime that will be tied to the US for atleast a decade to come. Economically and militarily. If it stops balatantly propping up American dominance of the oil economy, maybe the Iraqis wud trust them more and this whole mess cud be fixed.

Either way, their "plan" for Iraq will fall sooner or later because of their religion. You can't order somebody to change lifestyle or even understand "our" way of life when they've followed their bible, allah or whatever since they were born. Even the government was run by fanatics - so the goals set won't be reached within at least 50 years, if ever.

Ha. Yeah. Serves 'em fuckin right. They think they're God or something. Do whatever they like wherever they like. I was wondering. It took em 15years before Reagan undid the lessons of Vietnam. I wonder how long the lessons of Iraq will stay with them.

theres no doubt that there will be civil war there, unless some diplomat can pull off a miracle
- lowimpakt0
give all the soldiers blue berets and paint their tanks white. It seems that people will trust them better then.
oh and take notes from the british in dealing with the insurgency

i pulled out of my girl last night

YES they have to. The US mostly sends reserves over there to cut down on costs, these guys don't have the training of real troops and they end-up dead or horribly mutilated. Some of those are 19 year olds, nearly still kids and they won't get much compensation for it cause the US is cutting down on cash for war veterans too. It's horrible.

While I don't doubt many people are there out of honor and to help, I'm sure few of the people in charge actualy give jackshit about human life.

We should leave, but we won't. Why? Only one powerful reason, that old black magic called oil... The rest is bullshit and propaganda for the weak minded. Fuck the (world) police!
