Maliki want the US to start withdrawing.


Quite the contrary. He's the one that wants us there. He wants his government stabilized before we withdraw. Anything else would be suicide for him. That's just an assinine statement Char, and you know it. Your dillusional, just like the rest of the Howard Dean goosesteppers.

Saddam is gone. The WMDs were never there. Every year we stay, things get worse in Iraq. Don't these facts all argue for our ending the occupation? All the legitimate goals, if there were any, were reached in the first month. After that, it was up to the Iraqis to run their own country. Bush and his satraps sure blew at it, didn't they?


Didn't your mother ever tell you if you make a mess, clean it up? That's what we're doing. It is up to the Iraqis to run their own country. But they can't do that at the moment without our help. But you would have that government over-run and destroyed because a Democrat didn't put them there. Hell, Bush didn't even put them there. They were freely elected. They are asking for our help, and we're giving it. Again, you and the Dean goosesteppers don't know what the @#%$ you're talking about.

Vietnam is like Iraq in that it was an invasion born of lies, an entirely unnecessary military expedition that hurt the US and the host nation severely, got progressively worse despite (or because of) our presence, and eventually were continued against the clear will of the people of both the US and the occupied nation. It is time to go.


Thanks for the Democratic talking points. I'm sure your buddy Dean instructed you well in how to utilize them.
