Actually, it is the Democrats who want to send in more troops to Iraq. Bush is fighting against terrorism. When Clinton was in office, he ignored it, and led us into the world we face today

You seem to be confused because of a lack of research. And "still" in Iraq? Please! In historic comparisons, we've been there no time at all. Another small adjustment in manpower? Why is there news here? Troop levels and mixes have never been static. The difference here is just one of degree, and not much of that. You might want to do some research on 4th generation warfare to figure out where things are, and what kind of conflict we're in.

We are in Iraq because Bush is stubborn, self-centered, and does not listen to anyone, including his advisers. If he were to pull the troops out now, he would be admitting that he was wrong from the start and he would go down in history as a president who lost a war. Ted Kennedy may be a drunk, but two years ago he said the war in Iraq had the potential to be another Vietnam. Good foresight, Ted! Let me have some of what you're drinking!!

Saddams death would be the perfect time to announce a pullout of our troops! Saddam would not have been executed without them. It's the only chance Bush will get to make this look like a victory. But somehow I won't be surprised if Bush misses this opportunity.

The UN put 17 sanctions on Saddam and he ignored them. They placed the sanctions because he had recieved mass amounts of petrolium and after he got it, he stopped letting Weapon Inspectors from the UN and every other nation come into Iraq. So someone gets a ton of petrolium and stops letting people look at what hes doing w/ it, isnt it common sense theyre up to something? (Thats what the whole, 'Iraq has WMD' thing came from)
And you know what the funny thing is? We KNOW he got that petrolium and so does the UN and Britain. But its not there anymore, in Iraq. When we took over Iraq, there was no petrolium or weapons made of it to be found. So SOMETHING was up, and when he relized what was going on he shipped it over to Syria.
