I wouldn't recomend pulling out of iraq under any circumstance at this point...
Now that Cowboy george has started it we HAVE to finish it...
And as far as the WMD arguement...
What are you F'ing kidding... when did Saddam bomb the kurds... IN THE 80'S...
More importantly HOW did he do it... Oh that's right... with OUR support... bush's daddy and rumsfield are basically personally responsible for ALL of those killings...
As for the Gulf War Syndrome stuff... Yeah I'm well aware... one of my brother's BEST friends (who lived with my family for a while)from highschool died VERY mysteriously about 4 years after he got out of Iraq... he was doing demolition of un-inspected weapon storage facilities...
Bush Jr. was looking for this war before he got ellected... I'm sorry but whatever links you provided about Saddam's envolvement in terrorism don't give me ANY regret having said pakistan Iran or Saudi Arabia are MUCH MUCH larger parts of the problem than Iraq ever was or would've been.
I'm all about fulfilling our commitments... When we pulled out abruptly during the first gulf war I FREAKED OUT... and I was protesting the begining of the war...
Bush SR. PUSSED out like a little girl when too many negative stories started coming out about the "highway of death"...
I have nothing but respect for those who serve... and feel they should be supported in a MUCH more sincere manner then they EVER are... but that doesn't make me have to agree with their end goals...
NO ONE is always right... unless you're in the military... then your commander is ALWAYS right... regardless of how retarded his decisions are... That's not my cup of tea.
I'll do whatever it takes if I think it's neccisary... but I'm not going to support the invasion of a country because it's leader antagonized us... they did NOTHING to us ... whether they tried and failed or not. Forget all the innocent Iraqi's killed injured or affected by the invasion... Saddam didn't really even do anything other than F with us... We have NO proof of ANYTHING that would warrant the invasion of a country...
Not even REMOTELY the amount of cause the clinton admin. had in LOTS of it's military actions which were condemned as "nation building" by republicans and bush himself...
But NOW... he's all about america's "responsibility to bestow freedom" on people who never asked for it...
Now having said that I am WELL WELL aware of how many Iraqi's are DESPERATE to get out from under the thumb of Saddam...
But when they wanted to do it themselves (first gulf war) we ENCOURAGED iraqi's to rise up against Saddam.. but when the negative press got to be too much for Daddy bush he pulled out and left ALL of those people to Saddams whim...
Which I guess worked out for us in the end because we can now draw attention from the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK of WMD, by pointing out all the mass graves we helped fill up...
