m1a1mike (below) When the US becomes a military dictatorship, I'll agree with allowing the military to dictate foreign policy.

Until then, ALL public servants work for me.

The problem is that it all depends on personal profit and lose!

If others are paying the bills and you are creaming off the profits then there is little incentive to conclude that the reward (Iraq) is not worth the cost!

The decision makers are not laying down their lives and not becoming out of pocket in this!

It's hard to say. Taken to an extreme, if Iraq finally stabilizes it could be a useful support point for peace in the Middle East. The other extreme would be a complete waste of time, lives and money for nothing as the region resumes another dictatorship that dislikes the US (or any government that made our efforts worthless).

We, as normal citizens, don't have enough information to make an informed decision.

At the point the sacrifices and efforts of every person who served in Iraq are sacrificed in the name of partisan politics.

Let the people who served there decide when to quit.

It never was worth the cost. The war never should have been fought. As for reward, what "reward" are we going to get? We can only hope to slow down the human and economic drain this war is inflicting on us.

I concluded it in 2002. By mid-2005, a majority of Americans had concluded it. At this rate, on January 20, 2009, the only American who will not have concluded it is George W. Bush.

The benefits to the Bush Administration's defense and oil industry 'base' will not disappear as long as the war continues.

And the Saudis will continue to globalize their brand of radical Islam.

The close to 3900 US Troops killed, the hundreds of thoundsands of Iraqis killed & the millions & millions of US dollars that have been lost or unaccounted for I don't think is worth the cost. I don't see how anyone could answer it has been worth it. PS. I'm a US Army proud Vet.

Never. It is foolish to put a price on freedom. We have enemies that have to be defeated, regardless of the cost.
