Meh,..i think bush should\'ve stopped at afghanistan. i too wanted the u.s. to take some action, when he went into afghanistan i was all for it, even to this day, but as soon as he announced iraq, i was against it from day 1, saddam was of no imminent threat to us, the guy we needed to keep our focus on was and still should be osama bin laden, y\'know the guy actually responsible for 9/11?...not some washed up dictator who was as harmless as a kitten to us....even he and osama hated each-other.....you don\'t even hear the words osama from anybody in his adminisrtation at all.
I too thought that bush was the best prez for the job this last election, because at least he does what says, but he also is very stubborn and arrogant,...how can he say in his speech that he wants an iraqi gov\'t that answers to it\'s people, when he himself doesn\'t listen to the citizens of the united states? If it wasn\'t for the dems getting control, i\'m sure he would still be stating that we are winning in iraq..:rolleyes:
But as much as i hate to say it, we cannot let iraq fall into an even deeper hole. if we leave the chaos will spin outta control, and if unchecked, i do believe that in some shape or form this thing will present itself at our doorstep. thing is tho, what if this surge in troops doesn\'t work? then what?.... i say get ready for the draft, this thing has already discouraged young folks from goin\' in and gov\'t are already talking about how they want to beef up the military in general.....and if this war continues on this path, don\'t come lookin\' for me, cause i\'ll turn into a jehova witness quick as hell!...
....in all seriousness tho i also agree if we leave maybe these iraqi soldiers will step up if they have to do it on their own, then again, i\'ve also heard stories of iraqi soldiers running and retreating in the heat of combat and leaving our troops to fend for themselves, it really is hard to see a solution for this one, iraq is one terrible mess....
