- We weren''t there before bush the worthless came into office and are only there under the pretext of a lie..so to hell with the Iraqis and the lying military-industrial-corporate complex in our Nation..we are now and have been the problem...remember Sadam is dead(big deal), there were no WMDS'' AND the Iraqis (under Saddam) had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11! This is just a neo-con Republican fascist debacle for both the Iraqi people and America. Absurd!

Get out, let them destroy themselves. You cannot choose democracy for a people that choose to be ruled by religion. They have to want democracy for themselves. - Reply to this comment
- The sad thing is that we can''t just leave. America has to assume some responsibility for the actions of our president. The almighty Bush started this c r ap and now the American people will continue to die and lose money in this godless country.

- We need to get out now. We will not stop something that has been going on for centuries. They will not stop killing each other until they are all dead. We have no business being there anyway. Let them kill each other if that''s they way they want to live. But only we can stop the continual death rates of our military there. Pull out quickly. Let the UNited Nations worry about it.

- Let''s get the f****k out of there and let the ba$tards kill each other. That is the ONLY language they understand, so let them have it.
NO MORE AMERICAN BLOOD. - Reply to this comment
- The Iraqi PARLIAMENT voted - not the people. The referendum vote happens in July.
And I really don''''t think the insurgents that want us to leave, give a sh** one way or the other, about the outcome of the vote. They''''re going to keep blowing our troops up as long as they''''re there.

Well, I guess you''re going to have to be disappointed with Barack and Hillary when they leave our troops there under the pacts guidelines. I''m glad the Shiites listened to the Sunni''s request for the referendum. There are 27 million people in Iraq, Sadr''s protestor''s were in the tens of thousands, a ding in the voice of millions.
If the vote in Iraq passes for our troops to stay, will they under President Obama? - Reply to this comment
- The issue is that the Al Qaeda warmongers need the conflict to continue so they can recruit.
This plays hand in hand with our current warmonger administration who needs the conflict to stay viable so they can continue to spend billions, of which much is being funneled to their contractor buddies.
The only way to stop this is to leave, the sooner the better. - Reply to this comment
- Mission not really but almost accomplished by attacking a nation with nothing to do with 911

- In the hours and days before the United States and Britain invaded Iraq, a team of British Petroleum (BP) engineers in Kuwait taught combat troops from the 516 Specialist Team Royal Engineers how to run the oil fields in southern Iraq. As soon as the troops had secured southern Iraq, Robert Spears, a Scottish manager from BP, was drafted by the British government to help direct the effort to rebuild the refineries.
In mid-July BP took possession of its reward -- one of the first tankers of oil from Southern Iraq, having won 25% of the initial sale of 8 million barrels of the existing stockpiles of Iraqi oil. The previous month California-based Chevron shipped back an equal quantity of oil from southern Iraq.
Nah, not an oil war.... - Reply to this comment

- I''''ve answered this one as well, I haven''''t seen any benefit of Iraqi oil, have you? How come GW just didn''''t take it, if it was just about oil? The U.S. is ready and waiting. Do you think Barack and Hillary will get us some?

As the Iraqi regime formally opened the bidding for foreign oil companies to resume exploitation of the country%u2019s oil wealth, it was revealed that US %u201Cadvisers%u201D played the leading role in drafting the contracting procedures and steering preferential deals to the big US energy conglomerates.
%u201CA group of American advisers led by a small State Department team played an integral part in drawing up contracts between the Iraqi government and five Western oil companies to develop some of the largest fields in Iraq,%u201D the New York Times reported Monday.
The team of government lawyers and private sector consultants provided %u201Cdetailed suggestions on drafting the contracts,%u201D the Times reported, citing a senior State Department official.
Among the other %u201Cservices%u201D offered by the US advisers was ensuring that the Iraqi Oil Ministry dismissed claims by the Russian oil company Lukoil based on contracts signed with the Iraqi government before the US invasion of March 2003. - Reply to this comment
- How about the old claim this has always been an oil war. Does that make you retain water?

That means American troops have only three more years to find the WMD''''s....

I''ve posted with you enough for you to know that it wasn''t about the WMD for me. I followed what was going on in Iraq since the 1st Gulf War and we discussed this. I wish George Sr. would have taken him out and that DID NOT involve WMD at that time. After we left, Saddam became worse and we left him in place (stupid).
So when I heard we were invading Iraq, I thought, "finally they are going to do something about this guy"! 60 Minutes ran regular episodes on the dangers of Iraq, our own government continually discussed him and fretted about his capabilities. It doesn''t matter what President is in charge, or what party, I would have supported a Democrat who ousted him as well.
So, the old "WMD" ploy you use on me doesn''t hold water.- Reply to this comment
- With the knowledge that Barack will be President and Hillary his Secretary of State, Iraq voted for three more years, Bush is not relevant to them anymore. I''m curious how you will post when Barack and Hillary does not pull out the troops and uses those three years.

- A sign of things to come now that we''''ve agreed to the latest "troop withdrawal plan", that is p***ing off the Iraqi people that want us to leave RIGHT NOW.

We''ve agreed? Read the article, the Iraqi''s didn''t have to agree to anything with the U.S., it was the Shiites and Sunnis who voted.
-In exchange for their vote, the Sunnis won a major concession from the pacts largely Shiite supporters; a national referendum on the agreement will be held by July 30. -
