and I want those who support staying in Iraq to either enlist or have their children enlist or STFU!!!

1. Pretty much...if you support it then go enlist

and if you think you're doing something back in the states that is more important than going to enlist for what you support...well, then you and Cheney have something in common...he had better things to do too. I'm just saying...

4. maybe they could work on energy independence?

8. "better things to do" can and does include many things

some even more valid than others (though a matter of opinion) BUT....it's still the exact same excuse.

3. let them have their civil war

More and more it looks like the only thing that was preventing a civil war in iraq in the first place was having a bastard like Saddam ruling with an iron fist.

Doesn't matter how many more months or years our troops stay there ...they have been fighting this fight since before america even existed.

5. The killing stopped in Viet Nam only after we left

unfortunately it looks like we will have to learn the hard way

10. It'll probably happen with Iraq too

11. Also in French Algeria after they left.

Algeria also saw a huge down turn of violence after the French left.

Historically speaking we lost 24,000 more people in Vietnam after Nixon came on board
looking for his peace with honor philosophy trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, when staying the course for stability.
.
This is a colonization through a corporate mask.
With our four permanent major bases in Iraq, do they think that this colony of Americans
living in their country will not be attacked?

When the British left in many of their colonies violence in those colonies also went down



If these bases are not looked upon by the world as imperialistic then
I need to start a new cool-aid campaign.

6. This one is very dependent on how the question is phrased

That question, for many, is likely to be no if the question is: "Should the US immediately evacuate all its troops, support personnel, and contractors, leaving behind no American presence, and this needs to be carried out in an emergency fashion without regard for any consideration other than the physical security of departing Americans."

Obviously, one might want to avoid a direct replay of the fall of Saigon with desperate Iraqis and third-country persons holding onto the skids of departing American helicopters.

However, when the question is asked, should there be a time-table for the disengagement of U.S. forces from a combat role in Iraq, the majority response is affirmative.:bounce:
