If you agree that President Bush should pull all our troops out of Iraq, How can we make that happen?

Question

It has been almost 6 years since September 11, and are troops were sent to Iraq a few months after that. The situation in Iraq isn't getting much better for the Iraq people. They still deal with violence everyday, and only 25% of children go to school right now. I'm for peace in Iraq, but as the saying goes, you have to step back and let a child fall so he can learn to dust himself off and get back up on his own. We have done what we can, but we can't do it for them. They have to meet us half way, and stand up for themselves for their country to succeed. I say to President Bush, as Kenny Rogers character would say, You gotta know when to fold'em, know when to walk away....when the dealin's done. No more troops in Iraq!

Answer 1

I've been against the war since Day 1...everything moved way too fast, evidence wasn't solid and the world was not with us. Even the ones who were for the war did not bargain on us policing a civil war...which is what we are doing now. We have lost focus on the much bigger "terrorist" picture. Mr. Bush's lack of imagination is astounding...he did not weigh all the variables (intentionally or not) and put the US in a very bad situation in many ways.

I think what we should do, is pull out the majority of our forces, but maintain a strong special forces/intelligence op, working in conjuction with the new Iraqi government to monitor Al-Qaeda activities (which was supposedly what we were there for). Also we should establish lines of communications with the head clerics of the Sunni and Shia and try to establish what they require in order maintain peace, we should resist the urge to patronize them, b/c they have more power than almost anyone in Iraq. We should then work to strengthen our borders which are so porous it makes our stance on "protecting the homeland" laughable. There are no easy answers...and I can almost guarantee that no matter what happens...it won't be the right thing because there is no right thing to do.

Answer 2

The conflict in Iraq is uncontrolled. per chance the 1000's of troops that are going over there'll make some large difference, yet frankly, even as it is all reported and achieved, Iraq is under no circumstances going to be at peace. we've Iran making threats with their nuclear software. I have little question that pentagon generals are already planning an invasion of Iran as I kind this. We already recognize a provider job stress is being despatched to the Persian Gulf and that i I listen someone say they're planning on sending more desirable troops to the realm. protection Secretary Gates has reported he needs more desirable troops to be despatched to Afganistan. in the previous that is throughout we are going to lose 1000's more desirable in American lives and we are going to spend billions more desirable on attempting to gete a concern precise that we do not have began interior the first position.

Answer 3

Where have you been? The invasion of Iraq was in March 2003, not "a few months" after the Twin Towers bombing. And al Maliki has been in his position less than a year. It took him a few months (big surprise) to gather enough political power to be able to rein in some of his tentative supporters, and it's only been a matter of weeks since he's been able to work on groups like the Mahdists. Considering how many different groups he has to get to work together, I think you're asking a bit much. Gamblers don't quit the game just because every hand isn't a straight flush.

Answer 4

although i am against the war in iraq, pulling out would be chaotic, we never should have gone in the first place. If we were gonna go, we might as well finish it. We burned their house, we caused the homeless we'd be monsters if we don't rebuild their house. Used a metaphor to kinda say what i wanted to. We never shoulda overthrown saddam, as terrible as a ruler he is, iraq was better off with him than without. If we pull out now, we'd be monsters who decided to cause a mess and not clean it up.
Plus we want the oil in iraq, that is why we arn't in kuwait where mass genocides are going on, or in North korea, or in many other places that are worst off than iraq and may also contain terrorist activites. We choose the middle east because once we establish a good democratic government there, and they'll become friends with us. I'm sure they'll sell us oil and let the western countries control the oil again before saddam came to power.

Answer 5

Withdrawal from Iraq can happen any time when the pro-Iran are under control and without any arms.US troops is able to disarm the Shiites militia and stop supporting the current Iraqi government which is playing dirty role against Iraqi people by coordinating with Iran and militias by a brave and clear decision within its new strategy .

Answer 6

The Republicans will never know when to stop. They will once again have to learn the hard way. In fact Mr Bush said on CNN (Two days ago ) we may have to fight in Iraq for 60 to 80 years so according to Bush we will have 78 more years to go. ( I'm sure he met to say "War on Terror" ) So your Great Grand kids will be dying over there.

Answer 7

since nobody can change his decisions let the country bring a good president next time.a responsinle one who cares about his country and people than othert countries and their political problems.

Answer 8

You can look at each and every soldier and apologize for setting us up for failure.

You can look at each and every family member of a soldier who has died and apologize for the fact that have died in vain.

You're not helping at all. You're hurting.

Answer 9

The tribal people of the Middle East had not risen above their neolithic differences to align and form a lasting union of tolerance among themselves, as other nations of the world already had, when greedy foreigners descended upon those lands and began to plunder the oil there. Royalty and tribal elites were bribed. And, the CIA was used by U.S. oil interests, including those belonging to the Bush family, to deliberately destabilize the region for control and to prevent the people in the Middle East from uniting and controlling the oil themselves. Halliburton had the contracts to build the Al Qeada training camps. Our new Secretary of Defence, Gates, was the man assigned to teach the Al Qeada forces how to fight. Bush's oil company, Arbusto, is business partners with the Bin Laden family and, as a gesture of friendship, gave Osama's brother, Salem the Houston Gulf Airport in Texas. Bush and his family and his associates significantly helped to create the terrorists that our soldiers fight today. And, they deliberately contributed to the chaos and suffering of innocent people there. The people of the Middle East, betrayed by their corrupted leaders and weakened by foreign powers, failed to rise to the realities of the 20th century in time for the 21st. And, their future is grim. Middle Eastern oil production peaks in 2012 and ends in 2070. The plunder of Middle Eastern oil is now a desparate piggy-fest of who gets control of the remaining oil there. The societies there, so long destabilized, have disintegrated into episodic chaos and heightened religiosity as the quality of leadership plummeted. Foreign and local elite oil interests, concerned about security for their pipelines and oil fields now that factions of local power mongers, freedom fighters and religious fanatics threaten to disrupt the efficient flow of oil out of the land, placed foreign troops, including those from UK and U.S., in the region to ensure enough, but only just enough, stability to get the oil out. Many U.S. soldiers there now report that all they do is guard oil fields and a flow of oil profits that go to only a few people in the world. Even the plunder has grown chaotic with an estimated 500,000 barrels of oil going "missing" every day, securing someone's power in the future as oil begins to run out. Bush marches through the region and wants to invade Iran now to lock up the pipeline routes. He is asking this week for another $10.6 billion dollars just for Afghanistan. He has not said what he wants that money for, though. And, he refuses to state his "plan" for Iraq. He just says he has one. In order to have an initial foothold for the plunder march through the region, the U.S. pays Isreal $30,000 every year bribe for every man, woman and child, plus, has given them weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons which the Isrealis have recently threatened (then denied) to use against the Iranians. Those are the only WMD known in the region aften ten years of searching for more. The search for WMD is a propaganda ploy to convince easily frightened U.S. taxpayers to keep supporting the "search". It is a ploy because arms dealers and their activities are well known by U.S. intelligence. As a matter of fact, many of the arms dealers who sell weapons in the Middle East are associates and friends of Cheney and Bush who believe in the business of war profits. Now, with a Democratic Congress and worldwide disgust for Bush and Cheney's lying and plundering and unspeakably irresponsible plundering of our own nation's financial security while racking up the largest national debt in the history of mankind, there may be some reasonable approach that will be considered and some way to help the people of those regions who have been disarmed and are now at the mercy of roving gangs of religious fanatics and other factions. Bush stated during the Presidental debates that "there would be NO nation building" there, though. And, yesterday, he stated that he would make all the decisions about this war. He refuses to listen to the will of the American people or to our Congress. Remember, Bush does not represent the American people. He represents the oil interests and war profiteers. He and his gang have done nothing but destabilize and weaken the United States. Bush has aligned himself and his interests in the U.S. with the Christian Evangelicals, 40 million strong, whose leadership reported last fall in "Faith and Nation" that they advocate for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government if their religious agenda is not made into legislation. And, they are preparing to fight their neighbors. See the Jesus Camp video. Bush is contributing to the creation of even more terrorists in these Evangelical fanatics. Bush and his family supported Saddam when it suited them. They support whomever goes along with them or is most easily bribed. They support the Shiites now because they seem the most easily "managed" and exploitable or amenable to the "Big Picture". That may change from day to day, depending upon the vagaries of the chaos. To truly support our troops there, to do what's right, we need to get them out of that chaos. That chaos is a crime that the World Court will hear someday. It is a crime, not a war. Our soldiers did not cause the chaos. They are not responsible for fixing that mess. Our soldiers mean well. But, they are not wanted and their presense only makes matters worse, makes the chaos there worse, makes the chances worse for those people to rebuild something themselves from the chaos. The healing for them will not start until we leave. Bush and his associates will pay those people back someday. They will stand trial in the World Court for this monsterous crime. As for the victims, the women and children and innocents in that land, they have wealthy neighbors who will help. Or, they will not. But, ultimately, you are right. The violence will not stop until the people themselves chose another, wiser way to swim with sharks. Bush's grandfather, Preston, supplied at least one/third of Hitler's raw materials before President Rooselvelt and the U.S. Congress stopped him specifically with the Trading with the Enemy Act. What is it going to take take to stop George W. Bush?
