I'm always seeing a bunch of questions on here as to why we need to leave, well here is the reasons we should stay...
One, Iran will increase its power and begin to dominate the world's oil flow. That means, if Iran tells Gulf Arab nations to charge $100 a barrel, they better do it or risk Iran undermining them with terrorism. And Saudi Arabia will be the No. 1 target. All Americans will be at Iran's mercy then when it comes to oil. Think about that.
No. 2, Al Qaeda would also benefit. It would proclaim a great victory over America and set up shop inside of Iraq, working out a lose agreement with Iran. Al Qaeda terrorists then would have another sanctuary, like Afghanistan before we took out the Taliban.
No. 3, no one could stop Iran from getting nukes because of the oil threat. So they develop doomsday weapons and give them to whomever.
So you can see that allowing Iraq to go under would be a catastrophe for the world.

I could not agree with anything more! Absolutely!
Finally somebody throws it out in an undeniable way....thank you!
Anyways, we cant leave, he is right, we'll face greater danger giving up on multi fronts...c'mon. Our troops....what they went thru, what they did, buddies they lost....wtf? I've spoken to a few of todays soldiers, that end is not respectable.
Our international image is already bad enough!
Lets keep our vigilance for those who try or do hurt innocents...we can change details, and plans...but we gotta give the people of Iraq that...try to give them some sort of biulding blocks!
Thank you for the punch-in-the-face question! C'mon America, all it takes is to keep focused here and not throw it all to the lions.
Salute to American and allied troops, you are all hero's!

All I see is that you are hopelessly ignorant of how that region works. 1. Iran is already a member of OPEC and thus already has a say in the cost of oil. Your assumption that Iran is at war with the western world is none sense. All you have to do is see who Iran's targets are to see their interest in the region. They target Israel and support all shite organizations like the shia in control of Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Iran have always gotten along so your fears probably come from media hype. As for Al Qaeda they will wear out their welcome soon after the US leaves and the civil war plays out. Al Qaeda doesn't belong to any tribe and thus is an outside group that arabs love to use and throw away once they no longer serve the tribes needs. The question of nukes isn't complicated all you need to realize is that Iran is not crazy they have a plan for respect and dominance in the region and probably involves nukes but not for use by terrorist groups as nothing is served by such an attack as this would bring down a massive nuclear response from the US. However just by owning the nukes they will always have equal respect as any nation at any negotiating table something they don't now enjoy. This country is going to be a big power in this region get over it!

united statesa. won't be able to - and could no longer - go away Iraq until eventually Dick Cheney has a rock-sturdy, iron-clad association in position to get carry of all of that OIL swimming below Iraq's sands. With the help of the hot authorities (which he helped set up), Cheney and his best acquaintances at Exxon-Mobil receives richer and richer and richer, inspite of what number of human beings die in the technique. If Bush believes we are going to be out of Iraq through 2009, why is united statesa. progression the biggest embassy in the international on a 104-acre web site in downtown Baghdad, overlooking the modest headquarters of the hot Iraqi authorities?do not youngster your self - we are going to be there for decades, or until eventually each and every drop of OIL is sucked out of that land. PREDICTION: earlier spring, 2007, we are going to also invade Iran for the very similar reason: all those wealthy fields of exact-available OIL. The insurgents will turn this right into a Civil conflict earlier the top of this 12 months. They recognize we are in straight forward words there to thieve all their OIL. the in straight forward words those who do not recognize the genuine actuality is the yankee voters who've been brainwashed through Shawn Hannity, Ann Colture, bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh, the Republican party's personal Nazi-inspired propagandists. -RKO-

The problem is we can't leave or stay. Either way it brings a catastrophe. Iran is a major threat. Bush wants to finish what he started by the time he leaves office. So most likely we will see more and more going over to fight in Iraq, which is going to be the one last push. Altough this will only lead to more problems. This war is World War III. It has only just began.

There might be some reasons why we shouldn't leave Iraq, but what bothers me is that why don't any so called conservatives feel any anger to the fact that we should have never been there. Here are some reasons why we should not have been there:
1. there were no WMD's
2. Iraq was NOT an imminent threat to US.
3. It was not our place to change a regime. No one asked us too.
4. The Middle east was more stable with Saddam in Iraq.
sounds crazy, but he did not like Iran and he kept
them in check more than we have
5. the war in Iraq has weakened our efforts in the fight in
the real war on terror and any response we man need
to make to Iran
You people were so mad a Clinton for lying about sex that you felt he needed to be impeached. You spent years trying to get him on charges in "whitewater". when that didn't work, you went for a sex scandal.
why is it that none of you think that Bush needs to held accountable for this mess? There are thousands of dead and what do we have? a less stable middle east and a reduced ability to answer to Iran. Where is Bush's punishment?

Well said. People like to keep whining that there were no WMDs (But forget about the satelite picture showing big trucks heading to Iran before we invaded)
That Iraq didn't have ties to Al Qaeda, but I feel that wasn't true, even if President Bush claimed they hadn't had connections to Al Qaeda.
Saddam Hussien was a terrorist to anyone who disagreed with him. And his sons were even worse.
I give up arguing with people about it, since people are stubborn about their opinions.

It make sense and I agree with you but the fact that there are coalition's military personnels dying out there, and who wants to make this kind of sacrifice for this horrible country (and horrible people) anyway ?
Read the paper watch the news listen to the radio :
These guys say that they actually enjoyed life under Sadam Hussein.
Urgh, get outta here !!!

Very good question, however they are only assumptions, who know what will happen when we leave. I do know the Iraqi people are unable and unwilling to defend themselves....I believe we will never have a 100% pull-out a reduction in troops but not a full scale pull-out, remember after WWII we still have troops in Germany.
