What kind of message will we send to the world when our "leaders" (if you can call them that) cause our boys to lose this war? Will it be a message that we are a patsy nation and we never follow though with what we say we are going to do? Or will it be a message that we are so concerned with being nice to everyone that we can't win a war? Will we be able to defend our homeland when they start attacking us because the terrorists set up shop in Iraq and start spreading propaganda about how we went in and disrupted the region and left, and now we need to be wiped off the face of the Earth? Who will be to blame in that case?

so sorry, but your entire scenario is not likely to ever impact the way i feel about the war in iraq - which never should have been started.
the war is making al quaeda stronger, not weaker - a recent govt report stated.
iraq has nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, as has been documented over and over again.
al quaeda is listed as the number FIVE reason why people are dying in iraq - but the bush admin and their shills present it as the number one reason - according to iraqis.
the iraqi parliament is taking the entire month of august as vacation - while our troops struggle to even figure out which are the bad guys and which are just hard working good people.
if some want to misjudge the usa based on making what would be the first logical decision about iraq (leaving) then they do so at their own peril.
AMERICANS WANT SOME FRIGGIN PAYBACK FOR 9/11 AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT IN IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!

Your leaders sent a clear message to the rest of the world. USA is the only country invading other country today and the only one who has done that in decades.
You are assuming that the war in being lost because the US army is being nice to the enemy. Have it crossed your mind that maybe the US army is unable to win this war?
To win a war you need a goal, what's the goal in this war?
What if I tell you that the goal is the war itself?
The war in Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism. Al Quaeda is there because the US army is there. The US army is fighting against the iraqui people because they don't want any more US intervention. They're not related to the terrorism but, if the war keeps going, they will start looking at it as an option.
Nobody needs to spread propaganda about how the US went in there and disrupted the region. The whole world knows that. Even the US people knows that.

Against the Iraq War however when you consider that we began it we ought to conclude it. Of direction there may be the probability that with Saddam in vigor we could have finally needed to move to conflict at a few factor. Who is aware of? I simply suppose the cash would were greater spent within the USA on home vigor progress. Mind you, I'm no longer a few fool who's blindly anti-War or anti-navy. Until all people on this planet ceases to be competitive there'll constantly be a necessity for a navy. As lengthy as nations compete for land and assets there will likely be conflict. People who crusade to finish all wars or do away with the navy are residing in a dreamworld.

I think the "message" Bush and his ilk sent to the world when they invaded Iraq was rather blunt and unmistakable: we will invade and/or destroy any sovereign nation we want to regardless of what the rest of the world beleives, for the U.S. is the mightiest and most superior (if not morally upstanding) God blessed country on the entire planet and nobody will EVER be able to stop us from doing whatever we damn well please, period!
If you think invading Iraq was the right thing to do and we should keep our troops there indefinately, if not permanently, then you are a naive and foolish person. Any rational and intelligent person with any common sense would know that this war cannot be "won" militarily, no matter how long we prolong this war with more and more troops. Diplomacy and negotiation (compromise) and immediate complete troop withdrawal are the only way we can peacefully and permanently bring this war to an end and rebuild Iraq, period.

If we never went to Iraq we wouldn't have to worry about being
a patsy nation as you say in your own words.. as far as terrorist are concerned, they have already set up shop and the propaganda that you speak about has been common long before 9/11

I think you are right....we have done more harm then good by going into Iraq. What's more I would much rather see that money spend here in America to make our country more secure. From the latest articles I've read we are now spending $10 billion dollars a month on the war in Iraq.

I think the message most of the world is seeing currently is that we have another Cowboy president who does not even posses the charm of Reagan. Register and vote people, and don't let your vote be miscounted. What ever Bubba (Clinton) did he had a bit better of a world image. We do not live in a vacuum.

We have already sent a bad message by attacking a country that was no threat to us.You can thank Bush for any repercussions from it.
