first off, there is no group called "the terrorists"... so who exactly are these people and what is the name of the group that will be attacking and taking over Iraq... where will they come from... where are they now (a huge army amassed along the border somewhere waiting for us to leave?)
I don't really get the logistics of terrorists taking over iraq and how that would happen...
al-queda is mostly destroyed according to Bush and Rummy... were they lying? they shouldn't be able to do anything near taking over a country...
the current elected government of Iraq is very Iran friendly... why would Iran attack if the current elected government is more than happy to work with them now? you don't need to attack people who agree with you and think the same way you do.
I just don't really get the logistics of how terrorists, who ever they are, could take over a country, especially since Iraq has several thousand trained/armed army troops, according to the goverment.
how would it work?

susan r... everyone in Iraq is a muslim... so we're trying to bring democracy to terrorists who we are at war with?
But Bush said most muslims aren't terrorists, only the few extremists... was he just confused... maybe you should write him a letter and set him straight...

EDIT: I meant to say "several HUNDRED thousand trained troops"... that's a pretty big difference... sorry

freemanba: let's say it's real... 12,000 vs. 150,000 Iraqi troops (that odds are have better training, better weapons)...
I would take the iraqi army in that one... just me...

Will a terrorist group take over if we get out of Iraq? That is a good question. If our government is waiting to make sure that no terrorist group will move in and take over we will be there for eternity. No one will ever be able to remove all the terrorist cells that exist because once one is depleated another one will rise up. We will never know what is going to happen until we get out of there. When will that be? I wish it is sooner than later but that is not my decision to make. I just wish they would do something so that our guys will quit getting killed over there. Bush accomplished what he wanted which was to get Hussein out of power. The rest of this is just politics to try to make himself look good which it has not. There was never any WMD found or even any proof that any existed so why are we still there? You are correct in saying that they have their own army and trained at that so why don't we get out now? I wish I had an answer for that.

Al-Queda just sent out a message either today or yesterday saying they are 12,000 strong, are winning the war in Iraq, are glad Bush's party lost the election, and that they want to make all Americans submit, and blow up the Whitehouse.
This is probably mostly propaganda, but I'm sure Iraq would at least be a nice place for a terrorists to have some R&R. It seems they don't really want Iraq, they want the Western World.
At least this is what I think.

pulling out of Iraq has no bearing on whether or not we will be attacked by terrorists. It's very doubtful that any terrorist considering an attack is even in Iraq at this time or ever. These low life terrorists are located all over the world. Everyone needs to know that and be aware of that. Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror. Sure, we are fighting some terrorists over there, but it is not THE war on terror.

Iran would come in like a fire storm. If you thought when the north Vietnamese came into the south killing hundreds of thousand was bad this would be unimaginable, rent the movie killing fields if you want to see what cut and running dose to the people, lift behind

Terrorists are already there. By our actions we practically invited them to Iraq. Not that we don't have them here in the United States.

Right. Technically they are not terrorists. They are insurgents to the American presence. They are not dangerous to us on the homeland. And if they were, they would have easily been able to attack us already because they are running rampant and uncontained for the most part.

If they wanted to come here and mess with us, our being in Iraq would have not stopped them. Bush just used that crap to scare us to support the war.
