why do we want to leave iraq

[patsopinion]

with iraq war support clearly in the gutter what is the main bullet point for s leaving?
Is it the money?
Is it the complete distrust in the administration?
Is it that we went in under false pretences?
Why is it now everyone is saying leave Iraq when before these same dummies were in it 100 percent?
What changed?
Why is it that you think we should leave Iraq?

endless supply of insurgents and weapons...

we're piling political and corporate corruption on top of political and corporate corruption...

spending 12 billion a month which could be better spent at home in all manners...

let the people in Iraq take care of their own business. then there is no one to blame or point fingers at if they fail to create some sort of civil enviornment...

First off, I thought we never should have gone to Iraq in the first place. As to why we should leave, there are a myriad of reasons ranging from the wasting of billions of dollars that could go towards programs that could actually help with the security of this country to the fact that we went in with bad intelligence and we've been there for years without any kind of plan other than we'll step down when the Iraqis step up.

I used to always say I was against them goin in because Saddam was the only guy to hold the lid down on that boiling cauldron but once they were in they had to stay in no matter what.

I can't think of any good outcome and 12 billion a month is insane. If you can put aside all the lives lost for nothing, it's just too much money, unsustainable with no end in site. Haven't heard any better ideas other than cuting your losses. Left or Right you just have to be sad and disappointed.

March 16, Vice President Cheney, on NBC's Meet the Press: "I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . (in) weeks rather than months."

He was an asshole before he got into office. Was anyone listening to him at the time and actually thought it would go well?

Some of us were against it from the beginning. For me, it had nothing to do with politics. it was morality. War should always be the last choice, when there is no other recourse. That was not the case here. Human lives should not be wasted so casually. Blood is not so cheap.

I'm not going to get into an Iraq pull out discussion right now. I'm also not going to discuss how much I hate the whole "bullet point" concept. I just have one question.

When did Cuba become one of our "colonies"? If it has, it should make Ron very happy!

That's a military base on a tiny corner of the island. Not quite a colony.

Because it's a cesspool of negativity.
