Why shouldn't the US withdraw all combat troops from Iraq?

Answer 1

because the mission isn't over.

ps...what part of all volunteer military don't you understand?

Answer 2

I believe the we should withdraw as soon as possible. However, as much as we want a complete withdrawal, the Iraqi army is not ready for us to leave. We should set a timetable for them to learn to do certain things. It would be something like this:

1 Step one--Learn that the man across the street is your countryman. He deserves to live as much as you do. Find some interest in common with him.
2. Work with him and together the two of you will form not gangs, but groups that help other Iraqis to find what all of you have in common. Then from there, you find out who are doctors, teachers, priests, and see what others had been doing for a living. Then you as their leader ask the Americans for help TO GET STARTED in this project. It could be building a school or a hospital. Get the Americans to teach you what you don't know. They will be happy to. Iraq is your country.
3. After the Americans start teaching you (the Iraqis) how build and how to plant and how to recondition the soil (put new nutrients into it so the crops will grow better) and then the Americans will help you (Iraqis) repair your cities and your houses and your farms.
4. The Americans will show the Iraquis how to hold free elections and they will supervise them at first, but they will, at the same time, be showing the Iraqui people how to conduct an election peacefully without starting a war. The Americans will tell the Iraquis that the winner of the election must not be overthrown. If the people are dissatisfied with the person who won, they can get together and vote for someone who they think will be better the next election and this first candidate will be defeated. No one will kill him or his family.

At each of the these steps, the American presence will be lessened and at some point instead soldiers with guns the Iraqui people will see Americans distributing food and water and other Americans helping to build houses, hospitals, and schools. At some point, probably after the winner of the election is peacefully inaugurated, the American troops should all come home.

Answer 3

Being a father of a wounded soldier in this war for oil and Halliburotn profits, we need to get out now. The Army can not take care of their wounded(google Ricki hardyman)we had a terrible, experience at Walter Reed. We should let the people of Iraq settle there own differences( that has been going on for over 1000years)

Answer 4

The people that want the war to linger has no regard for the lives that already has been lost or maimed and the same people could care less about tax payed money going to waste trying to liberate a 3rd world country that has had nothing but war dictatorships and Muslim extreme fanatics since the beginning of time.That will never change for the next thousand years!

Answer 5

Funny logic. Why keep murdering Iraqis? Because otherwise they'll kill each other and make my gas expensive. Who are the terrorists again? (the Iraqi people overwhelmingly demand the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops, furthermore they support attacks on american troops. The US is an invader just like the Germans in WWII)
655.000 remember that number because that is how much closer to Hitler you are. (without of course forgetting the 4m you killed in Vietnam, fundamentalist terrorists!)

Answer 6

Hmm, what part of National Guard reads US ARMY? If we are going to police the planet we need a draft. This is the only practical way to spread some of that death and dying around to the upper ruling class for Bush and his cronies kids.

Answer 7

For one thing I don't think the Iraqi government really wants us to pull out in mass.

However if the Iraqi parliment voted for us to go now I'd say let's go home.

Come to think of it the Iraqi parliment is going on two weeks vacation. Myabe we should give our troops a two week vacation and all their equipment and supplies too. Send them back to the States and not send them back to Iraq unless requested by a vote from the Iraqi parliment.

Answer 8

The only reason i can think of for not make an IMMEDIATE withdrawal is that the country would fall into chaos. But we should start withdrawing.

But that is the only answer i could think of for YOUR question!

Answer 9

Regardless why were got there we now owe the Iraq people our support to put the country back together. Leaving before they are stable and able to protect themselves would be un-voluntary slater of there country. Terriorist forces would return and our 911 problem would be small compared to what would start happening next.

Answer 10

Because we would lose what we set out to do.Those who have given their lives and those who have came home maimed would have done so in vain.And if we fail to make peace in the middle east you will be paying $20 per gallon gas. A loaf of bread will cost $10 if you can get it. You ready for that?

Answer 11

A QUESTION BACK @ CHA.....

In London and other parts of the world are still having problems with terrorist and suicide bombings.

Could you live every day of your life here - looking over your shoulder wondering where the next bomb might be if such as what others have to live with every day of there lives as they do over seas?
