Comments on: Agreement On Table For Iraq Withdrawal

Plan Would See Troops Reductions Next June; Must Be Approved By Iraqi Leaders

10 billion American tax dollars spent in Iraq per month. I wonder if there are any Americans out there who could have used their very own money.George Bush- Worst president ever!

[pvperson]

RosieOD4Prez or should I say RosieHEDupurazz, we liberals were against the useless war in Iraq from the get go, you neo-con deadheads are just now coming to your senses. The surge wouldn''t have been needed if we hadn''t invaded, now would it? Congratulations on waking up. Oh, and keep the so called glory along with the utter waste and stupidity.

"Good to see Bush learning from Obama and accepting a timeline. A withdrawal is 6 years late but better than never. - Posted by PVperson


Uh-huh. Only Bozo Obama wanted to cut and run, no matter what condition the country was in.

The president is talking leaving because the Surge worked, and now it is time to consider leaving.




Of course now the democrates want their share of the glory.


Tell Obama to go visit the people in the hospitals - I don''t care if he thinks it is too political... Some of the people there are his supporters, and I don''t care that they will get comfort from him - they deserve comfort.

A self-deluded lunatic.

Sorry to pop your dream balloon, Bozo.

Look at the terrible things the Russians have done in Georgia. That is a given, but where are the protests from the Liberals ? Why such silence ?

''Screaming Weenies???'' That''s offensive. You need to take a drive down Screaming Eagles Highway just South of Santa Barbara. Thunder Chickens, that''s something else. I don''t necessarily understand the Military but they deserve our support and recognition for a job well done.

Depends on whether you look at it as a mistake! Frankly most American''s don''t! Saddam Hussein and 20,000 plus terrorists are dead! Radical Islam committed a crime against this country! And now they know to do so again, will probably get us a nice parking lot!

Good job!

It only the screeching weenies, hate your country, idiots that deem it a mistake!

[getcentered]

It is perfectly true that an Iraq withdrawal will require something very painful: admitting a colossal strategic mistake. This is the #1 unbearable disgrace for Republicans and all other core backers of the war and occupation. The #2 disgrace would be payment of reparations to Iraq through a UN or World Bank trust. #3 would be the outrage of the post-occupation Iraqi government resolving the oil issue on its own terms, possibly contracting French, Russian, and Chinese firms, while leaving US or UK firms on the sidelines.

Self-denial, vanity, fear to face the music, and greed are at play. It has nothing to do with US security. The fiasco has made us less secure, drained lives and money, and now we are the laughingstock of much of the world.

Don''t believe in polls? Well, how about the value of the US dollar on world exchanges?

Let Iraqis rule Iraq, whether by federation, partition, or unitary state. Any model we impose will crumble the day we leave, whether that occurs now or in 100 years. Iraq will not be pro-US, pro-Israel, or pro-anything we favor so long as we occupy them, or as long as we contrived to have privileged access to their oil.

Medieval Europeans wasted 250 years on their venture. Better to learn from them, plus from Britain''s troubles in Iraq in the 1920s onward, rather than repeat a futile imperial exercise.

The trillion plus we waste in Iraq could have done so much more for our security or economy if spent on just about anything else.

This will materially hurt Obama. Posted by holmantx"

I predict Obama will win by a landslide.

[kennedy7955]

Many who screeched "withdrawal" at the top of their lungs wanted Saddam to remain in power (Sen. Jay Rockefeller) or announced a US defeat (Sen. Harry Reid) or tried to produce the greatest possible insecurity in the Gulf region (Ahmedinejad). Since none of these things occurred, such people won''''t like withdrawal either. Posted by secundus2"

Here is a news flash for you. Saddam Hussein was the best friend the USA had in the Middle East. He went to war against Iran with our blessings, he kept Iran''s power limited. Hussein was also anti-religion, kept the Islamists in check, didn''t allow terrorists in his country and he could be bought.

History will show we attacked him because he was the easiest target. Is there any doubt the Iraqi people and America was better off with him than without him? No doubt at all.

if we had surrendered, cut and run as the Dems wanted over a YEAR AGO, this agreement, this SUCCESS, would not have been possible. The next thing will be watching how the loser left will attempt take credit for something thay tried to prevent and defeat! Posted by notblue"

You talk about the failure that would have occurred if the USA had pulled out a year ago. Well look at what would likely have happened if we had not gone to war at all. Gas would be $1.30 a gallon, the US government would be in debt far less than $9 trill, George Bush would likely have been much more popular (a good thing for right-wingers like you). Ohhh, and there would be 4000 less dead Americans, several hundreds of thousands less dead Iraqis, a less powerful Iran. Afghanistan would be much better off. Russia would be less powerful, so would Chavez of Venezuela and our economy wouldn''t be in near as big a mess as it is...

This war isn''t over, it isn''t going to end well and you can "dream on" that there will be anything at the end of the war that could be called success for America.

[deacon20081]

I refuse to believe anything this Administration''s Talking Heads spout. Propaganda 101 is all they know.
The Iraqi people have yet to approve anything and they refused to give the administration any sort of gurantee that troops who murder civilians will not be prosecuted in the past. More of the same garbage for the elections.

It isn''t any kind of "success" yet. Americans agreed on it all by themselves. The Iraqis haven''t approved it yet, and they may re-open negotiations.

Read the article before you post Rush''s latest talking points.

"U.S. Approves"???

Does that mean just King George and the Court Jester Cheney have approved it?

Isn''t it convenient that the US no longer has to worry about a Congress mucking up anything the King wants!
