But, but, Mr. Biden...it was an ‘illegal’ war wasn’t it? That’s what your boss and his friends said, didn’t they? Well, Mr. Vice President, what do you have to say now about it? Then he himself, wanted to divide the country up like a pie; whether the Iraqis wanted that or not! Good grief!

Now they want to claim credit for what they claimed was an ‘illegal’ war! grumble, grumble..

when the “combat mission” ends on schedule Aug. 31”

We need a pool on how long it will be before Iraq reverts after Aug. 32.

I am talking in a political sense, which is the gist of Biden's claims and the topic of the thread.

Don't ever even suggest that I would take away from our troops or the ISF.

Read things in their contexts before attempting to correct me.

For all intents and purposes, the combat mission really ended last summer.

And after September 1, troops will still be here. Just not as many as in the past.

Even after December 31, 2011, the U.S. will maintain a presence here, both military and diplomatic.

What a freaking joke these people are.

Sick beyond belief.

They hinder the war effort for years, then take credit for the war actually being won by others prior to taking office.

Exactly. For U.S. to “win” the Iraq war on terror, we have to stay in Iraq.

Hopefully we won’t see a repeat of that helicopter scene but this time on the roof of the Baghdad US Embassy.

Ya think the Muslims can handle democracy?

Obama calls for immediate withdrawal from Iraq

Associated Press
CLINTON, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is calling for the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. combat brigades from Iraq, with the pullout being completed by the end of next year.

“Let me be clear: There is no military solution in Iraq and there never was,” Obama said in excerpts of the speech provided to The Associated Press.

“The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops. Not in six months or one year — now,” the Illinois senator says.

The average Iraqi does not care for the kenyan... I got this from several friends that have been there for quite awhile.

LOL - I dealt with naysayers on here back in '05 and '06 when this place was freakin' insane. I kept saying that we were going to prevail, and several FReeper reviled me and called me delusional and other such delights.

Now that the U.S. has clearly won this thing, I still get the gloom-and-doom crowd.

I guess there are some who are (not so) secretly bummed out that we triumphed in this one?

Go figger. ;-)

Hark! What was that sound outside?

Why, it was silence!
