Comments on: U.S. Nears Deal To Keep Troops In Iraq

But Iraq's Foreign Minister Cautions "Bold Political Decisions" Needed To Finalize Agreement

Time to lick our wounds and leave. Take care of business at home.

It''s not a matter of hating the troops, it''s sacraficing their lives for nothing. We don''t need to be there. My cousin died there. I wonder for what ?

There is nothing on this Earth More Full of Hate For America than Democrats. The country we "Invaded" was ruled by a Genocidal Dictator for 30 years who killed a million of his own people. Now, the troops on the ground say, the IRAQI people are worried about what will happen to them when the American Troops leave. The only people who universally hate The American Troops are Terrorists and Democrats.

Hey....just answer a question for me. Who supported that Genocidal dictator for well over a decade and GAVE him chemical & conventional weapons to fight those terrible Iranians?? Can''t talk outta both cheeks can we??

nursehope, you are such an antipatriotic person. No, it''s not your antiwar attitude that makes you antipatriotic. It''s your belief that our courageous soldiers--the guys that have protected your freedoms for 232+ years--are murdering, raping, and destroying. The mission may or may not be moral, but the soldiers themselves (at least 99.99% of them) are serving honorably. They have helped to rebuild the country, secure the cities, and fight off the real terrorists... you know, the ones that strap a bomb to their chests and blow themselves up and kill a hundred innocent Iraqi civilians. That is who our troops are fighting against.

To say that you are calling OUR troops the terrorists is alone giving cause to the enemy, while harming the effectiveness of the soldiers (you try doing your job when someone tells you that you are murdering and raping people). It is immoral, treasonous, and disgusting to judge and accuse honest soldiers of such wrongdoing. You are no better than your labels.

Washington and Baghdad have been negotiating for months on the agreement, which would set the terms for the future U.S. presence in Iraq for years to come. A main sticking point has been the issue of legal immunity for U.S. troops under Iraqi law.

It is important for us to allow them to continue to murder, rape and destroy without consequences, just the way the Bush administration likes to be treated.

[nursehope]

OBAMA will implement a responsible phased withdrawal. We caused this mess, now we are stuck and have to withdraw slowly while the diplomatic phase kicks in. That phase Bush was not interested. War gives him the power he craves.

Where is my bailout check and new credit cards?

[timesupreps]

does not matter what backdoor deal Bush tries. As soon as Obama is POTUS he can change the terms if he wants.. That is his right as the POTUS. especially if the deal was ill advised or contrived for monetary gain rather than for purposes of US security. The point is, Obama is planning a well thought out withdrawal from Iraq that will take time and will require certain forces to remain for a period of time.. That is what an intelligent POTUS does, THINKS ABOUT THINGS AND PLANS FOR WITHDRAWAL...

"A watched pot never boils!" In this case, too many Mahmouds are watching this pot!
If experience counts for anything the Iraqi people realize they have more to fear from an Iranian presence than the US presence. Al Quida & Iran will pluck away at what is left of the bones of a defeated Iraqi government if the US is forced out too early.

This Republican led Bush Administration "INVADED" this country...

now, we are making "deals" with Iraqi leaders? How come this dictator (president) doesn''t keep his policy and tell the Iraqi government what they''re going to do? He INVADED THEIR COUNTRY.

Usually, and I''m not sure if it''s "policy" or written in a regulation, book or someplace for United States presidents to follow/use --- "How to invade a country and then make deals with a new government."

Bush has no plan. Never did. This is a joke at the expense of 4,000 + "PATRIOTS" and 320 million taxpayers who are funding this idiots "invasion" because he wants the "Bush" name to live in infamy!

Well --- did he ever succeed. Too bad it will be in print with the following words...

"The Worst President in the Modern Era."

U.S. Nears Deal To Keep Troops In Iraq
~~~~~~~~~~~
This sounds like a giant step backwards. Aren''t we supposed to be working on an exit strategy?

I''d say if we decide to stay and fight the war for al-Maliki, then Iraq should foot the entire bill. Remember how the oil money was going to cover the entire cost of the war. Bush said it so it must be true.

[ajayvee]

Iraq''s foreign minister said Tuesday the U.S. and Iraq were close to a deal to keep U.S. troops in the country next year ....
---------------------
Sounds to me like al-Maliki is about to sell out his people one more time. But then again, that''s what he was put there for, wasn''t it?
