The U.S. Should Pull Out Of Iraq For Good
With me I think we need to stay a little longer, and being in the Marine Corps I would hate to just give away everything we have fought for already what do you think??

Yes they should, but unfortunately for the
rest of America that never wanted to go to war with them, and those that now regret it, it would now look like more of a stupid idea. The U.S. Is waiting for things to change in a way that they would have changed even if it's army wasn't over there so they can take credit for inevitable progress.

Of course it should. The US has committed crimes against humanity, mass murder, used weapons of mass destruction against innocent civilians, and started a war of aggression which is a war crime unto itself, the worst war crime according to the Nuremburg Charter with which the Nazis were convicted and executed.

I believe that the US should pull out of Iraq for good. We have absolutely no reason to be there. Saddam is dead. Bin Laden is not in Iraq. The US needs to stop focusing on everyone else’s problems and start worrying about our own problems. Things like education, healthcare, drugs, employment, and crime rates in the US are out of control. As a result Americans are suffering a great deal. We need to fight our own wars. We cannot help other people until we help ourselves first. We need to get out of Iraq and start focusing on rebuilding America.

Absolutely, we are not fighting terrorists in the 9/11 sense of the word. We are fighting Iraqi citizens turned to al-qaieda by our involvement in the invasion and occupation of their homeland. As far as the argument that it would be a civil war if we left, so be it. The two factions have always and will always have different views. Trying to keep the sunni and shia factions from fighting each other is about as successful as trying to get Palestine and israel to just "get along". Not to mention the lives lost and the exorbitant amount of money we have spent on this war. It is bleeding our country dry, so what does the federal reserve do? "We'll just print more money" they say, which only devalues our dollar and makes the cost of living rise exponentially.

In my opinion we should have never been there. The stats in history show that change never stays in countries like that and although I don't like seeing human degradation when does it come the time for the US to take care of its own country and its own people

I think we should pull out for good cause if we don't then the The Iraqis will never want to defend there own country cause they will have us there fighting for em..If we leave they will take a more promising role in there own affairs and not rely solely on us...Now President Bush hes a Fluke Qwack Idiot what ever u wanna call em hes it...He goes to war when there no Weapons of mass destruction I believe he went to war so he could get the Oil we all know the truth...and John Mccain he wants the war to go on even thought the war is so unpopular and yet people vote foe him kinda messed up i think...

The so-called coalition should withdraw immediately because it is not improving the situation by being there. In fact, it is making it worse. American soldiers, because of their poor training, indisicpline, cowardice and contempt for the lives of foreign Untermenschen, are killing innocent people in large numbers. The relatives of those innocent people are left deeply embittered. They often go on to become militants themselves. The notion that the militias in Iraq consist mainly of foreign terrorist elements is fanciful. For the most part, they are just ordinary Iraqi people who are outraged at the violation of their country by foreigners.

YES. Not only has it invaded another country its destroyed the American economy. I wonder what the bush administration had in mind, longer lines at the unemployment office perhaps, cause that's the only thing its achieved. My opinion has NOTHING to do with the soldiers overseas, they fight for their country and i respect the hell out of them for that.

 You respect mindless zombies who kill on the orders of dodgy leaders? Why? Do you think mindless obedience is a virtue?

Yes, once the Iraqis take over the functions of government, we need to pull out and let them live their own lives. Unfortunately, as soon as we do leave, they'll go back to the way they were before we arrived and chuck democracy out the window and that's one reason that Bush doesn't want to leave, he wants to make sure the form of government he is imposing on them sticks.

Yes, our presence has now created more harm than good. The Sunni and Shia are in a civil war and the US presence is the cause for Al-Qaeda in Iraq, before the US invasion there was no presence.

The military has done a great job, but unfortunately the policy side of the war has failed on all levels. If you want the US presence to continue in Iraq I want to know the conditions on which we can claim victory and leave. I have yet to hear from anyone on the ground or in the white house what the conditions for victory are. How will will know when we win?

I wish people who have no idea what it is like over there or have no idea what they are talking about should just stop talking.

I am not sure if i agree on why we went or not but i do know we can not pull out now or it won't benefit and everything that we did and lost brothers dads uncles aunts moms sisters for will be for nothing.

No one is there for nothing, you can talk when you look into a little Iraq child's eyes when they say thank you clear as day. I know that we are fighting for a reason. I would love to go back!

I hate when people talk like most of you cause you are telling me that i do nothing for a living!!!

 and what do you do when you look in a child‘s eyes in the USA who is homeless and starving because we owe the world bank so much money and oil prices are unbelievable and so on and so on and so on. We are there for the oil not the people, so lets start with our country.

I agree we should have never went in
but now that we have we cant just simply pull out . It would be like Vietnam all over again

and don't you think that we should talk to our military before we make any desisons

they knew what they were signing up for when we went into war.

And they did an interview with some of the veterans that were sent back because they lost legs and stuff and everyone of them said that they would go back in a heart beat if they could

dont you think it should be up to them weather or not we pull out or not.

 It is Vietnam all over again, the US has gone to war using vague threats. Vietnam was supposedly the stepping stone for the spread of communism, and now Iraq is the front lines on the war on terror. There is no difference, a bunch of lies are told to the public and some buy into it and become fervent flag waving patriotic Amercians and others do not believe the United States has the right to go into a sovereign country because they do not like how the country is being run.
