Doesn't this indicate that it's time for the U.S. to leave Iraq?

Question

Excerpt from Yahoo article:

"On Sunday, U.S. troops surrounded Youssifiyah and told residents over loudspeakers to stay inside, residents said. They then methodically searched the houses, focusing on possible secret chambers under the floors where the soldiers might be hidden, residents said.

The soldiers marked each searched house with a white piece of cloth.

Soldiers also searched cars entering and leaving the town, writing "searched" on the side of each vehicle they had inspected. "

I think it's time for us to leave and let the Iraqis deal with their OWN fate.

Brian- enjoyed the video.

I love pg- I hate terrorists too, but I think, unfortunately, that we WILL always have to worry about them- regardless of the war's outcome. Europe and Israel and other countries have dealt with terrorists for years, and apparently we have joined that arena- it sucks.

Aceman- I was shocked and dismayed by the image these words created- that's why i pasted them and asked this question. It is my right to feel this way, and it is your right to feel the way you do. But- I did THINK about what I was doing.

Answer 1

Who should we let deal with the world terrorism problem? The Iraqis lack the stability to hold their land.

Answer 2

If we do that the stability of the world could be at stake because as soon as we leave it is very possible that Syria and any other supper power in the middel east will take over Iraq and that can be a good thing or bad. We still will have to worry about terorists

Answer 3

WTF does this excerpt show. It seems like you just clicked on a random article, copy-pasted some text and asked a question. And no this does not indicate that it is time for the U.S. to leave iraq.

Edit: To the fool who says the iraqi parliament voted for us to leave, they didn't. Just because you write something on yahoo answers doesn't make it correct.'

Update: OMG this article shows nothing. Stuff a million times as bad as this happened before we went there. Excuse the soldier for checking peoples homes and making sure there wasn't a guy there waiting to blow himself up.

Answer 4

I'm only a citizen with no military training and only have the media, the biased media to tell me whats going on. This is indeed a horrible tragic thing to have happen and I hope they are safe, but for this to be the reason to pull out I leave that for those who know more about these things.

Answer 5

Are they POW's or MIA's but the press is not allowed to use this terminalogy like the Viet Nam scandel?

Answer 6

Regarding this topic there is only one thing that we´re never allowed to forget... the war is not a fight against terrorism, it´s a fight about oil.
And therefore they have to stay and go on dieing in Iraq. More than 3000 of our brave soldiers already died for this oil, so we have to keep it under lock... otherwise the war is as useless as the rest of the world is telling us for years...

Answer 7

We made this mess. We have screwed up royally on this one and now we can not leave until the country can stand on its own.

It's like I have always told my children and now my grandchildren. If you make a mess, you have to clean it up.

Answer 8

Oh....so you believe that we should run because we are interfering with peoples lives? I hope I never have to depend on you for anything. People like you will always be a failure with your way of thinking.

Answer 9

I don't agree. We can't just leave and let them deal with their OWN FATE..

The job is not done yet

Answer 10

No--- we need to hunker down in our bases their and ride out the storm .
