Experts Differ on How to End Iraq War

Started by washingtonindependent · 10 months ago

Ever since Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told Der Spiegel magazine last month that he wanted U.S. troops to withdraw from his country in 2010, momentum in the Iraq debate has shifted toward those who favor extrication.
Even the Bush administration, which long argued that setting a date ... Continue reading »

    Know that we are going to end this war, will they give Obama credit for the push to end it? I hear nothing on the news about how Obama was the one with several other Repub like chuck hagel an a few more who was pushing for this to take place! Their is a stark difference between Mccains plans to stay in Iraq for a long time, and Obama's plan to be out in 16 months! It's about time that America knows the trueth of who would and could lead this country in a safe respectable way!Obama's trip to Iraq gave the Iraqi leaders the boost and courage they needed to speak up to Bush/Channey/Mccain about with drawing. Now, I figure it's time the media tells the American people the trueth on who it was that has broughten this war to a very close closure, and who started the ball rolling! I think for once Fox news should be fair and balanced, as well as cnn!

    It is also time to realize that the iraq people won't and can't stand on their own unless we as the invaders get out and let them take the lead! It will stand or fall on their own merrit! but Americans cannot afford to hold them up and prop them up for ever! It's already cost us more than we should have given! America should not be in the bussiness of building nations, only assisting nations to stand on their own two feet! If mccain could, he would keep us there forever just to have a war rageing. It what fires up his heart and soul! He jumped on the Russia/georgia war like a hungry tiger who must be feed to come alive! He scares me to death in thinking he could be allowed to lead this powerful nation!

    Lets think about this?

    Do you really think when push comes to shove the American people will vote for McBush?

    McCain is the man who voted to send our bravest to die looking for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.

    McCain is the man who does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein.

    McCain is the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies!

    McCain is the man who put our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card.

    McCain is the man has adopted virtually the entire Bush agenda, often reversing long held positions and compromising supposed core principles. From Iraq, tax cuts for the wealthy, broken promises on the deficit to opposition to SCHIP, tax credits for health care, overturning Roe v. Wade and a right-wing Supreme Court, without question John McCain represents a third Bush term.

    Get real!

    Our only hope is Obama.
