"Iraq Official Says Country Still Needs U.S. Military Presence

Saturday, November 08, 2008


BAGHDAD —  Iraq's deputy prime minister said Saturday his country still needs the U.S. military to ensure security and warned that time is running out to approve a new security deal with Washington"

If we withdraw, there's going to be a lot of empty chairs around the table in Iraq. That's change you can believe in. Remember why we didn't run out on them after we won.

Get out of Iraq. Get out now. This was one of Nobamas promises. I want him to follow through with it. We can be losers again like we were in Vietnam. Thats what the majority of Americans want, right?

True, but no sense making it easy for them. You guys who served in 'Nam didn't have a choice, had to fight with one hand tied, and weren't appreciated when they betrayed you. I remember how they lied about you, saying you lost the war, accused you of all kinds of horrible crap, and spit on you when you came home before the job was done. How many innocents were slaughtered when that happened? Millions? I remember I was a snot-nosed college kid volunteer when slant-eyed babys named Ngyen from Saigon arrived at Terminal Island in Long Beach. Thrown onto the last helicopters out before the city fell by their doomed mothers. Hundreds of crying babys in neat rows on mats on the floor of the gynasium. I'll never forget.

These guys signed up to vindicate that wrong, and got to achieve the victory you were denied by the anti-war left. I'll not betray them to prove a political point. I'll not let irresponsible bitterness cost the life of even one innocent. That would make me no better than them! If Obama does, then shame on him and everyone who elected him. I intend not to let them forget that.

IF they leave Iraq right now.. it will end up like Somalia, infested with dissitents and terrorist groups, killing at their leisure. this is what happens without laws.

We now own the mess we created over there. That's what happens when you continually meddle in the affairs of other nations.

The Iraqi people should have revolted against Sodamn Insane. We could have shipped them weapons, and maybe some air strikes, but this war was a mistake from day 1.

I never believed there were WMDs. Never have understood why we went in, but I have a theory or two.

We should have put the resources into Afghanistan.

BTW, Where's Osama?

biker, you're absolutely right. We do something that the people wouldn't do for themselves, we got rid of that tyrant. It's high time they took charge of protecting themselves and spending their own money.

I wonder what President-elect Obama thinks
now that he's getting first hand security
information. It will be interesting to see
what he actually does when he takes office
in January.

Obama will probably do just about anything he wants since he has so many democrats in the house and senate to back him up. I hope he is not as radical as I think he is going to be. Does anyone know what to make of the chicago criminals Obama wants to place in our government?

Obama:
I hate to see what he and his wife will do for the rest of AMERICA. After they have over taxed and run ILL into the ground.
Why hasn’t anyone ever talked or told anyone about this man and his wife being a hater of AMERICA and its people?
From what I understand the Obama’s has always been "ashamed" at being Americans
The Obama’s FLAG BURNING!
What a disgrace to all the veterans of AMERICA they gave there ALL for GOD and country……….
Someone said (Obama and the democrats deserve the same respect they have showed President Bush over the last 8 years.)
For my self I also never had any for them!
I don’t care if the Obama’s were green with red dots.
They are still raciest toward AMERICA.
They have brought shame and disgrace to AMERICA.
And now we have this going to the White House!
This is a sad day for AMERICA.
Later ARDBOY
