The War In Iraq Should Be Ended: The US Should Pull Out
In the beggining of the war we set out to kill the terrorists that threatened our nation, such a Sadaam Husein and Osama Binladen. We have already snuffed out one of theses threats and the other is constantly being hunted. There for we have no reason to be in Iraq anymore besides the Iraqi democracy, which isnt our buisness anyway. THE US SHOULD PULL OUT!!!

I think Bush lied when he said that America is near to win.
The US lost a lot of money, time and, what´s most important, human lives of young Americans!
Why did Bush went into Iraq?
1. Because he is looking forward to get the oil of that country
2. He wants that everyone thinks " great guy , he won the Iraq war !"

Bush doesn't want to help those poor people there!

That is the reason why I hope Obama to get the next president of US
He would bring us out of Iraq.

We didn't have the correct intell in the first place, we didn't have enough incorrect intell to fake as though we made a mistake by going in prematurely.

This war was, is and will continue to be one of the biggest mistakes in U.S. History. We had no right nor reason to go in in the first place. We were spoon fed a BS line about Iraq POSSIBLY having WMD's, and the American people ate it up. The reason this war was so easy to sell to the American people was because we were looking for some kind of retribution for 9/11, and Bush coincidentally had the cure to all that ailed us, invade a sovereign, benign country that had never attacked us or even threatened to attack us.

I don't think that they should have been sent over there in the first place anyway
At the end of the day, i believe it was all for money

Saddam Hussein never threatened your nation so there was no threat there to be snuffed out. Sounds like you swallowed the Kool-Aid on that one. However, your basic point is correct. The United States should pull out immediately. You are not improving anything by being there; in fact you are only making it worse. The fact is that your military uses force recklessly, killing many innocent civilians, embittering their families and turning them into violent militants. It is a self-perpetuating process. The longer you are there, the more militants you create.

 Do you think the Iraq military are just sitting there innocently while we kill everyone? My dad fought in the war and he has told me that they kill far more innocent people than we do. They send out young children of their own with grenades to blow up people on our side.

I believe that the process of pulling out should begin, this war has gone on far too long, and there were questions as to whether it should really have been started in the first place.

Saddam Hussein has, of course, already been captured and executed. However, George Bush stated that the purpose of the invasion if Iraq was to ensure that Iraq is a free country, able to govern, sustain and defend itself.

This was said back in July 2006, where Bush also said that "an artificial timetable" for the withdrawal of troops would confirm al-Qaida’s belief that the United States did not have the stomach for the fight or the perseverance to support the Iraqi people.
Bush Says U.S. Will Achieve Objectives in Iraq - 7th July, 2006

Is this a valid justification for keeping the troops there?

With the war having begun way back in March 2003, isn't it surely time to pull the plug and bring US troops back home?

No way we should pull out of Iraq!! If we were to do so right when Obama gets into office like he wants to, the terrorist regime would group together unhindered, and take the gov in a coup. Then, they would organize the people my persuading them that the hardships they are facing is because of us, and they would be right!! We have to eliminate the terrorists and then supply the country with the goods and services they require. I'm not saying we do it for them, we send the stuff and ask if they would like us to help because we are accepting that this was because of us and would like to help if they would let us.

That's what we gotta do.

If you don't fight the bad guys over their you will fight them in the states.
If the troops pull out keep your guns at home ready

Absolutely not. Pulling the war would be an extremely bad decision. It would not stop the war, it would only bring it to the US. Do you think the people in Iraq are just going to be like, "Oh, OK, you want to leave now? We don't mind that you killed so many people... Go ahead, no hard feelings." Sure. Like that would happen.

What about all the soldiers sent there? My father was sent as a soldier. I am lucky he is alive today. So many soldiers died there. If we just pull out now, their deaths would have been for nothing. How do you think their families would feel?

 Their deaths were not in vain. We eliminated many leaders of the terrorist cause.

I don't agree with celva_olva on that they will bomb us again, I think that they will bomb the nations around them. The United States is the thread that is holding together a massive firestorm. I'm a liberal, and it was a huge mistake to go into Iraq in the first place, but pulling out would be an even worse mistake.

Not only would countries attack each other, the different sects of Islams will attack each other. Then Iran will invade Israel, and religious wars start. Let's not move back into the Dark Ages, we need to stay in Iraq.

 No body bombs us, they jacked airplanes after years of warnings and signs and clues, and flew them into innocent people after receiving flight
instructions after being what red flagged, oh maybe not ,because we lack
a serious terrorist watch list. Afgan, maybe, with the right intell, Iraq...stupid.

The US should stay in Iraq. If we pull out now and don't help the government they set up get a strong foot hold, the Insergents will just take control again. Why quit now when we have come so far.

The US pulling out is one thing that shouldn't happen. This war on terror will be a long one, and a very long one at that. But just because we can't instantly 'win' doesn't mean we should leave. Yes, we have already dealt with Saddam, but there are still many other radicals that want down with western civilization. Many of these radicalists are in Iraq, so that's one reason that we are still there. We are slowly 'winning' over there and many Iraqis are beginning to move back in. So far, I think it was a good decision to go over there
