We are certain that there is not a weapons program there, Saddam is out of power and dead and there is a democratically elected governemnt there, with a constitution. Weren't those the reasons for the war?
What more can we realistically hope to accomplish? And how?

I read that Bush said the Americans will stop being there when the irakian government will ask this to them ... i don`t know if tihs is a pretex or not, but this is the official story. On my opinion, US has economic interests in the region, and this is why people are dying every day.Think about the pretolium and about weapons and you will see that i may be right.

mission non-accomplished ...
We are still there because Bush is stubborn..and that's very dangerous for a nation to have a leader that can't recognize his mistakes and correct bad decisions when needed. It's never too late to save lives, I am not American but every time I hear that one soldier died in Irak my heart bleed, I feel pain for the families, for the nation, for all of us.
The idea to save Irak was a great one, but the western world don't realize how tribal wars anchered in the roots of these people history. The US army is just in the middle of an internal war that has nothing to do with them. Believe me, those people have been fighting each other for centuries and even superman from America can't save them from themselves. They have to find solutions their own way.
Yes Saddam was a bad guy. But you know what , by removing him from the power all the US did was to open the race to the power all over again for those two main group, and blood will be shed until one of them wins it over like Saddam did.

Yes those were the "reasons" that were given to the American people. Those don't seem to be why we went in though.
Now there's a civil war that the us should not be involved in, and Bush will not let us pull out, and the Democrats will need to submit and send more money or they are condemning the troops over there to death.

B/c Bush knows when the Americans leave the country will topple to the terrorist and I'm sure the government will get over thrown and civil war will be imminent...Bush will really look like the bad guy when that happens...almost makes Saddam look like cake

Iraq is the centerpiece for political substitute in the middle East. we can't even could desire to attack Iran if we can stabilize Iraq. they are going to fall from interior. We have been greeted as liberators....Iranian insurgents have been waiting to maintain Iraq destabilized long sufficient for Civil conflict to erupt. A loose Iraq with the final Iraqi receiving his fare proportion oil gross sales verify (as in Kuwait) will destabilize the Iranian government to the place they are going to concern an insurrection among their very own peoples.

Not a damn thing we can accomplish....As soon as we leave it is going to be an all out civil war..There is no way Bush and his little clan can think we can flush out all the Insurgents...There are more born every day...It is ludicrous to think that the U.S. can save Iraq...What a waste of time,$,and most important American lives...

Disagree. We had two objectives: 1. Remove Saddam (ding). 2. Defend the nation until it can defend itself (buzz). The job isn't finished yet, but we're making progress.

I thought the war was to secure oil. We obviously failed that objective. We're still there because leaving will allow the region to deteriorate into further chaos.

This was never about "our" objectives - not you or I or any of the people who have commented. This was about the objectives of a special elite: oil companies, military contractors, high-up politicians. What have "we" gained from our meddling in Iraq? What have they gained - not sure at this point.

In order to accomplish objectives, you have to actually state some objectives...
