should the u.s. pull its troops out of iraq?

Question

im doing a debate and I need some help with this topic. can n-e-1 help me answer this question??

Answer 1

Yes, because BUSH sent them in.

Answer 2

The reasons to keep them there far outweigh the reason to pull them out. There are a lot of issues going on in the middle east right now. So just saying pulling the troops out will create peace is a misnomer. If we pull the troops before the security forces are ready, the radical Muslims funded by Iran will overcome them and turn Iraq into a Radical Muslim state. Now guess who will control the oil in Iran and Iraq? What is to stop Iran from them Nuking Israel and taking over Saudi Arabia next? Then the oil which we all love and need will be in the hands of radical Muslims and they can shut it off or charge what ever they wish. Now you may think this is okay, but take a look around you and see what contains petroleum products and the energy you use on a daily basis. You think to yourself, we need to become self sufficient in oil. Well you have the liberal democrats blocking and inhibiting any exploration or expansion of our oil fields. So we are in between a rock and a hard place. On the other side of that same side of the coin you will have countless thousands and thousands murdered who will not convert to the Radical Islamic ways. Women will lose all their rights and go back to the 1st century, just as they were forced to do under the Taliban in Afghanistan. These are the reasons we must stay and stabilize the region. I think they are worth it, don't you?

Answer 3

What is framework of debate?
Is the question as you wrote it?
Pro or Con?
What level of education are you at?
#1 Rule! Put your personality away.
Understand who is doing the judging, your peers or your educators.
Debate is when ideas are supposedly under atttack, and not the individuals!
Never generalize about the topic, be specific, and no matter what do not put your opponent or better yet let him put you into your personal opinions corner, for then you, as a person, are being attacked not the issue.
Read the answers to questions on the issue within yahoo itself and you will see the use of words and phrases of "anti-patriotism" as a negative and "patriotic" used as a positive so Rule Number
Know that whichever side you are taking, pro or con, that" it is under attack".
Know the "kind of attack" you are facing.
If you happen to know the personality and opinions of person you are debating this will help but watch for tell tale clues like facial expressions, hand gestures and tone and loudness of voice.
Note: if the opponent is a peacenik or super patriot, religous fanatic, relatives in Iraq or whatever.
This will give you a feel for your rebuttles.
It is best to defer to your opponent on who goes first, and then to be prepared to make your defense fit the attack. You don't want to be talking of religon when the opponent is talking of laws on books.
Here is the toughy, "Know how to follow through."
"You must be gentle but telling", go for the juglar by watching any indecisive points , pick the weakest first, then gradually go to the more telling points, get the thought out that he is wrong once and possibly wrong in all .
I will lay you odds one or the other of you will use emotionalism as a tool asnd that is dangerous ground in a debate for it worksd on weaker minds but not reasonalbe minds.
Probably work well with pre and highschool level if students grade but teachers may think differnet.
Break the question down.
First off ""Should"
Moral? Economics? Foundation for asking? winning or losing, death of Iraquis or death of Americans.
The U. S., why are we there? legal jusifications or moral justifactions, what is wished to be accomplished, oil fields or human rights?
Pull its troops. All or part? Where too?

Answer 4

NO. If we leave the insurgents will take over which will give Iran control over the country. They already have a plan for this in the event that US pulls out. Iran is the same country run by a man who wants to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth and said the Holocaust never happened. The same man that has been supporting Hezbollah.

And if we pull out now, thousands of Iraqi civilians will continue to die and them even more because we are not there to prevent it. Pulling out now would prevent American deaths for the time being, but we would be back in just a few years to fight World War III where we would be LUCKY to only loose 3,000 Americans.

That basically sums it up. But if you want to know more feel free to email me.

Stefan F: You are about as wrong as you can be. Saddam wasn't letting UN inspectors look where ever they wanted when they were searching for WMDs. Which is what he agreed to after the Gulf War. The "War for oil" thing is about as dumb as it gets. Saddam was hung for the death of thousands of people, not because Bush just didn't like him.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe this because we are not having a war we are policing a state. Here in the united state we need a full police force to maintain our high crime country, this means that we will have to train a police force, CSI agent, detective or investigators, FBI like system a CIA etc. In another word we would have to fully develop a whole other nation and for this country it took over 400 year and we still have a lot to be desired. I believe we should pull the troop out and boarder the country and let self development take place if this don't happen it like letting a baby sleep in their mother bed until their 18 it just cant happen.

Answer 6

I think that we should give the Iraqi government one more year (and no more) to step up to the plate and govern their own country...and that's actually being generous. After all, it takes the United States 6-8 weeks to train a soldier. They've had enough time to get their stuff together, and train an army and police force, and take over complete rule themselves. Its beginning to look more and more as if the members of the Iraqi government are simply enjoying the money they are getting from the U.S. people, and are too lazy to want to do the work themselves. So, we give them one more year, then leave...if the animal excrement hits the rotary environmental enhancing device after that, it was their fault...not ours.

Answer 7

Expand on this:
1: US Military duty is to protect USA.
2: Troops in Iraq are threat to terrorists bases in Middle East.
3: Troops in Iraq pull terrorists resources from attacks in USA.
4: Describe consequences to civil population and law agencies to have attacks similar to what is happening in Iraq only place them in major US cities, Washington, NY, LA, SF, Columbus, Denver, Dallas, Seattle.
5: Describe possible attacks ie car bomb, suicide bomber, suicide team with sachel of hand grenades in Mall of America on busy day.

Should we pull troops out of Iraq. Not only no but h3ll no.

Answer 8

Yes, we should. It is an illegal war. Congress had no business giving the president unlimited power. No middle eastern country had anything to do with 9-11. Bush himself stated that. Law says, you can not go to war in another nation that was unprovoked. 9-11 was an inside job...stated by people in the know. Our government paid bin Laden LOTS of money(through Pakistan) to take credit for 9-11.
Bush is using our troops to get the middle east to fall so they will fall to the New World Order easier.
Look up Steven Colbert....his comments speaks volumes!
Also get the book "Constitutional Chaos" by Judge Andrew Napalitono. He is a very WISE man!!
You could also go to youtube and query your subject. There is a wealth of information there.

Good luck..and hope I have helped.

Answer 9

There is a simple answer to that.... Yes they should. Why? Well, you can check out for example the casualties that the US army gets every day, the amount of cash out of tax-payers money(80 milion/day if im not mistaking),or from another viewpoint we can say that this invasion was put in practice for the economic interest of the Bush fammily, when Saddam refused to listen to the good mister Bush, he pulled the plug and handed the rope, what is next? When Tony Blair will refuse something, England gets invaded(ok, this is to much, but lets just imagine)? Since 2003, nothing has been achieved, people in Irak have the sam shity lives they had before, and American soldiers die every day.... for what? for mister Bush and his offshore accounts....

Answer 10

I'm torn. On the one hand, this could be a vietnam, where there's no winning.
On the other hand if we pull out there WILL be a genocide.

Answer 11

Contrary to Bush's lies - the mere presence of our troops there are actually embolding the enemy - and causing many of our troops to be killed unnecessarily!
