What a load of sh*te!!!!!
‘Bush ESCALATED THE WAR during this dim majority... which will be a short-lived majority. We are not going anywhere.’
Maybe so, but we’ve got more years of Dem left than Bush. I hope you are right, but after your last election I am nervous at the prospect of your next presidential election.
‘I often find comments from fellow freepers with regard my country really touching and makes me proud of the solidarity our great nations share.’
Hear, hear. Well said that man!
What many US freepers forget is that Britain has two pro-war parties whereas the US a pro and an anti one.
We have been there from day one and will be there until the end, but that end date will be chosen by America, not by Britain.
“So now, the British Military is going to throw away all achieved?”
Says who????
May your day and your family be Blessed!
Probably a liar who wrote the article.
.........
“Talk to freeper David Osborne. He’s there now.”
Why?
There’s many freepers that have been there, myself included (3x).
This report is - as we say in Britain - a load of ol’ bollox!!!!
“I hope and pray you are correct...Leaving the job undone creates more chaos, from these terrorists. Witness the attacks in both of our nations.”
So what differentiates leaving the job ‘undone’ to it being done???
In my experience with the Iraqi people, even if the job was left ‘done’ it would be ‘undone’ within 5 yrs!
Yea, probably!!!
Harry would be giving the party of Democrats today _____
well you all know what I mean.
Sounds like it to me as well.
Millions of us are working on making certain that dims lose... and they will lose. 3% approval rating tells it all! Even Bush is at 38 to 44 % approval.
LLS
Whatever is the most negative. That’s their definition of news. How can it be good for a society to mainline negativity every day?
I agree, it is in no way a certainty, but my gut feeling from my experiences there tells me i’m probably right.
Yes, it may take 20years for an available solution, so again, with talks of withdrawals, I fear i’m right.
I don’t claim to be a strategist of any kind, and I don’t see any way of preventing Iraq descending into chaos upon withdrawal
Ultimately I think if the Iraqis always go back into fractionalism after us expending tremendous resources to bring stability.. then we have to look at option 2, installing our own strongman. Letting him build up a powerbase of iraqis connected to his regime.. then let him take it from there, with us keeping bases there and intervening incase of a coup de tat.
I, as you, believe if we withddraw now, it will be chaos for the people of Iraq.
Installing a Saddam-like strong-men and keeping him in power through our tax dollars and blood and treasure, eh? Is this to be the imperial future of our great American experiment in liberty? Thanks but no thanks. Those of us who support Ron Paul have a different vision, Rather than create just another cynical old-world empire, we support the limited governmnet principles of 76.
That's the same argument that the leftists used to make against welfare reform e.g. if we take peopel off the taxpayers teat, there will be mass starvation and riots. It didn't happen. It is time to et the Iraqis off welfare, and let them stand on their feet. The status quo (parliament just went fishing) ain't working.
