Iraq's pres (the new Saddam) say they can take care of themselves.... I say, great! Bring our heroes home and let's be done with them. Our main intent for invading the middle east was Osama bin Laden NOT to invade an unarmed, unrelated country.
The only offense Saddam ever commited agains America was to insult Lil 'w's daddy.

Why? Because Iraq's allegedly "sovereign" parliament (sorry, that was funny so I had to take a moment to laugh) hasn't passed Bush's oil "sharing" (wow, is Bush funny or what?) law that gives 95% of Iraq's oil revenues to Shell, BP and Exxon for THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS - or until all the oil in Iraq is pumped out of the ground - whichever comes first.
This is verifiable fact that anyone can look up any time they like.
So the questions is, would anyone like to make an *** of themslves and argue that this stupid, illegal, criminal war is NOT about oil. Go ahead, knock yourselves out.

Because we have a long standing policy of only recognizing political decisions or democratic selections if we like the result. If we don't like the result we declare it non-democratic.
Palestine -- democratically elected Hamas. We declared Hamas terrorist and refused to recognize them as duly elected.
Iran -- democratically elected Ahmadinejad. We declared Iran a rogue state and called their leader a dictator.
Iraq -- when their parliament voted to oppose US continued presence, we declared the minister who put forth the proposal a terrorist and had him expelled from parliament.
And on and on.

We haven't left because our President keeps saying that we need to stay until we are victorious. What he's failed to give us is his definition of victory. Basically what hes trying to do is run out the clock so that he can share the blame of the inevitable failure of Iraq with the next President. I don't think it'll work though.

He didn't ask the US to leave. He just said that should we vote to leave, the Iraqis would manage. That's a far cry from requesting the troops to leave.
What do you expect him to say? "We're incapable of protecting and ruling ourselves?"
Saddam tried to assassinate Bush Sr., but that's not why we're there.

huh?
when did iraq's president ask us to leave? i don't recall hearing that at all...just the opposite actually.. he has said repeatedly he needs our help.. should we now just abandon them after we made promises to see this through?
unarmed country? wait...
didn't saddam attack his own countrymen with gas? didn't he allow terrorists free access to his country? and actually encourage training camps to be set up?
i said it before and i will say it again...
saddam bad...very bad man....

Sounds like a U.S. withdrawal may happen soon, what with this current news. I too say, great!
