There are some people who think the situation in Iraq is still going good because there seems to be less terrorism in the United States as compared to some other years. Or maybe because they haven't been informed a little more about the situation. Who knows ask people for there opinion =)

I don't know of anyone in their right mind that believes that what is happening in Iraq is going well.
That does not mean that we should play right into the extremists and the insurgents hands and just hand over a victory.
There is a reason that they are fighting us as hard as they are. They KNOW that if we are successful and if Iraq becomes a stable beacon of democracy in that region of the world that the people in their own countries are going to get wind of it and want the same freedom that is just waiting to sprout up in Iraq.
They are not making things so difficult because they believe we will lose. They are making things so difficult because they are afraid we may win. You can listen to all the tough talk all you want. Expect it. Expect those who are against us to make the conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan appear as awful as they can. They know that people like you are listening. They know that people like you do not have the willpower to finish the job. How can you WANT to give them what they desire?

look...who cares.
who cares about Iraq...
if you don't have anybody you know in iraq...its not your bussiness...yea, if you don't agree with it, don't support it...complain...but then shut the hell up--wat is the point of bickering and finger point about a lost issue?
yes, there are a lot of people deying...wat did you expect? we are patrolling the streets of a place that has a high crime rate and militia number...we are going to have casualties.
propose a pull out procedure...but then shut up. what happens happens...what is done, is done...and the iraq subject is past its prime.
and what is this about winning and losing? there is no winning or losing. all these mentalities of 'neo-cons' and democrats and that is all crap--we are NOT going to win. We are NOT going to lose...its going to be a stalemate...
we have lost reputation and have earned mass hatred for doing **** in Iraq..we did a good thing by elminating saddam...but look, kimmy has a nuke, which could obliterate any US city...
so wat now? does it REALLY matter? no ...we just have a lot of troops there and need to pull out --EVERYBODY SEES THAT-- and if you don't, you have a mental 'deficiency'---all your doing now is discussing a lost issue.
after we pull out of iraq...we should not 'win anyting'-we should not be looking to force freedom and democracy on every single corner of the planet...let dictators have their space...let cruelty spread...let it happen..stop trying to control everything...because its going to happen ANYWAY!
just have a practical foreign policy like China--let us realize we don't have a moral highground anymore and get over our moral 'high' and work to earn our resources and spread freedom and human rights as best we can WITHOUT going in and invading and killing a third of the population..
such as media, product infiltration...institutional programs, etc...we have a lot more power, money wise...media wise, and intellectually wise, to do things not only diplomatically, but wisely and strategically to reach our objectives, neutalize threats, help others, and be 'liked' by other nations.
So Iraq, is nothing compared to the big picture...its just another ***** in daily conversation.

We are seeing the war through the eyes of the media & terrorist propaganda. Most of the troops believe they are fighting for democracy then media goes in and makes our guys look bad. Who of US has been in mortal situation of blood-lust mob after you. Our only chance was to wipe out terrorists EXACTLY as important as hitler, after 9/11 not go over and play games.

Because people don't like to admit there wrong. They don't want to say the words, "I was wrong"

they've spent the last 4 years lying about it, kind of hard to wake up one day and say I've been wrong the last 700+.
