I’ve read where the Kurds, the Shia, the Sunnis, the rest of the Iraqis, the Iraqi leadership and regional leaders don’t want us to leave, due the the caos that would ensue.

In fact the only people who want us out are Al Qaeda, the Taliban and the Democrats (read that marxists) in the United States and their global fellow travelers.

Wouldn’t you want to find your party’s name on that infamous list? Not this guy.

True. On both counts.

What I find appalling is how many anti-war people there are on FR. Some of them are quite vicious.

I get personal attacks just about daily on FR now from the anti-war crybabies, simply because I am associated with OIF.

Disgraceful.

It would help all of those groups if they started an internal PR program showing what kind of life, water power, sewer etc. etc. exists in the Arab emirates, Dubai and in the Kurd North, as way way to show what COULD be the life of an Iraqi with good government - not fighting factions.

What does the “12” mean next to your name? Days until you leave Iraq?

Yes, for leave. I'm taking a brief vacation and will be back here sometime at the end of August or early September.

It's getting closer and closer... :-)

I have not lost my resolve. Scary Reid may think the baddest Military in the history of the world has lost the war after losing 3,500 Troops in four years, but I don't. Heck, we lost 290,000 in four years of WWI and we won that.

What we have here folks, is a bunch of commie traitors who are putting their Party (or KOS) above our Troops lives on the battlefield. Not only the lives of our Troops, but also the lives of the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shias.

Am I wrong, or is this TREASON?

We can win in iraq and we can win big, if they turn our troops loose and let them fight this war .it’s not just the dems, we have some republicans in there too that need to be addressed . They are the ones helping to fill up the nation with the enemy and loose this nation that our troops our fighting to protect.

Thanks. ;-) I work with the heroes. I'm a civilian contractor embedded with the military on an Iraqi Government transition mission. It's crazy, frustrating, a tad dangerous and I love it.

Cheers.

I do that, too and then I see my glaring typos, cringe and usually post a correction. Sometimes there are typos in the correction, too.

Don't you go challenging my Typo Champion title, now. ;-)

They sure do... just the wrong ones IMO. And I hope our troops kick the collective ass of the troop’s they support.

Notice there’s never any mention that the people of Iraq would like Al Quaeda and the Taliban to just go away. Somehow Nancy Pants and company forget the families of all the car-bomb victims when she decides who to demand get out of Iraq.

Yep, let’s make all the defenders of the Iraqi people leave so can perpetrate another killing field.

The left is cursed (and so are we) to never remember their mistakes of the past that cost millions of lives, so they can repeat them at will.
