Comments on: Australians End Combat Role In Iraq

Troops To Return Within Weeks, Fulfilling Campaign Pledge By Australia's New Prime Minister

[feelfree4u]

%u201CWhy we stand for immediate withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq%u201D

%u201CTHE U.S. occupation of Iraq has not liberated the Iraqi people, but has made life worse for most Iraqis.%u201D

%u201CTens of thousands of U.S. service people have been killed or maimed, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of the U.S. invasion in 2003, the ongoing occupation, and the violence unleashed by them.%u201D

%u201CIraq''s infrastructure has been destroyed, and U.S. plans for reconstruction abandoned. There is less electricity, less clean drinking water, and more unemployment today than before the U.S. invasion.%u201D

%u201CAll of the justifications initially provided by the U.S. for waging war on Iraq have been exposed as lies; the real reasons for the invasion %u2014 to control Iraq''s oil reserves and to increase U.S. strategic influence in the region %u2014 now stand revealed.%u201D

%u201CThe Bush administration has insisted again and again that stability, democracy, and prosperity are around the next bend in the road%u2026But the U.S. has deliberately stoked sectarian divisions in its ongoing attempt to install a U.S.-friendly regime, thus driving Iraq towards civil war.%u201D

%u201CWe call on the U.S. to get out of Iraq %u2014 not in six months, not in a year, but now.%u201D

for all who do not see the strategic benefits of the Us in Iraq beside getting rid of one of the world worse murderer , remember this ..If the US was not in South Vietnam , Thailand and India would have been communist country by now , Do not said that the US was in VN for nothing , it just shows how ignorant you are ...Just like Iraq , if Bush had pull out to satisfy your guys , Iraq would have been controlled by Al-Qaida and Iran by now , it will be 10 times worse than VN because now , you would pay for it , not like VN where the Chinese help control the North Vietnamese effect for you after the war......Wake up and read some REAL history my friends , not the craps the Liberal Media is feeding you ....

all those who favor a pull-out from Irag should remember this , all those war-protesters in the 60 have blood of 3 mil. Vietnamese and Cambodians on their hands , Those people who perished in the Communist''s slaughters , in Re-EDu. concentration camp, in the killing Fields..., in the Ocean due to the US pull-out and let the communists took over ...Also , you guys are responsible for half a million US servicemen feeling like dirt and being call BABY KILLERS and living in Shame for almost 20 years until , thank God , Bush the Elder restore their pride again...Yes , I know , you guys don''t want Americans to die oversea , but consider the amount of people of other race who also have to die and consider the lives of Americans lost due to gangs and accidents and social problems brought about by the wave of immigrants after the US pull-out , I am not sure if you guys got such a good bargain....I will give all you war protesters an advice , you should also protest so the US would also pull out of Korea and Japan , there is one MAD MAN in the NOrth who is more than willing to liberate the SOUTh as the North Vietnamses had claimed . Just pull out , lose KOrea , then Japan and see how that would affect your sorry US arse....you guys so-called peace-lovers crack me up big time ....

It IS a very, very bad thing. "World Police" is the job of the UN - let them do it. It''''s not our responsibility.

hungry1968, America had one attack from Muslims and yes Muslims have been attacking Americans for the past 25 years in different parts of the world killing many but as soon as there was only one attack on American soil on Sep 11th it made America go to war against Iraq, just one attack made Bush go to war, yet the tiny little country of Israel which is no bigger than lake Mitichigan has endured attack after attack from the trillions of Muslims around them who have said for 60 years that they are going to run Jews into the sea until all Jews are dead and we expect them to do nothing. It is all very well to sit in a country far away and tell them to do nothing, but when you are there seeing your people being bombed day after day???? that is different.

No one said anything when Muslim suicide bombers sat down in Jewish preschools, schools, shopping centers, their churches, buses etc and blew themselves up killing babies, children and adults in the thousands, the media said nothing.. why eh..

hungry1968 America was a target before Sep 11th.. and the world was a target before sep 11th. Read the last three quarters of the Quran and other Muslim books.. There are now so many Muslims living in Australia and just like other western countries there were problem before Australia went to Iraq, even the Jewish churches now have to have protection around them.
Over 70 teenaged girls were gang raped in Sydney in just 10 months Source: Sydney Morning Herald Published: 7/29/01
A policeman wrote about the Rise of Middle Eastern Crime in Australia in the early 1980s,
He said that he believed that the rise of Middle Eastern organised crime in Sydney will have an impact on society unlike anything we have ever seen.
England faces the same problems, English people are leaving like it is a sinking ship. So hungry1968 all we have to do is look at the world today, and see that there is non stop world eide Muslim violence and no outrage from Muslims themselves, no outrage from Muslims against the clerics/Imams teachers and leaders who teach hatred and slaughter in their schools, Mosques etc. If just one minister or preacher of Christianity did this he would either be taken down or the country would be up in arms against him and he would be charged..

What a MORONIC Statement!

I do remember Bush saying America wound NOT be the world police when he was campaigning before his first term. Of course I also remember the Democrats saying they were going to get us out of Iraq if they won back congress 2 years ago, not only didn''''t they do it they didn''''t even try!
Why vote?
