Don't send more troops to Iraq! Get the hell out now!
The lives of the Iraqis and Americans will improve tremendously if we just pack our soldiers up and get out. We can pay to rebuild what we have destroyed. It will be a hell of lot cheaper and save more lives if we get our military out of Iraq right now.

All this carnage is taking place just so the Bush regime can save face. They lied about Iraq as an imminent danger to the US, they were wrong on all counts about the political climate in Iraq. We can't wait for the media to put the pressure on only we can do it. The families of the dead, dying, and maimed soldiers must face the reality that their losses were based on a lie to benefit the political career of Bush and political agenda of the neocons. It never was about fighting the terrorism that spawned 9/11. The invasion of Iraq was an opportunistic war crime.

You think you should be afraid of terrorists?

You should be more afraid of the returning soldiers who will be suffering from the evil of this war. You can't invade another country and kill innocents and do what we did to people and remain sane. It is just impossible. The Spouses, children, and relatives of the returning men and women will suffer immensely just as they did when the Viet Nam vets returned home.

PEOPLE, PLEASE GARNER THE COURAGE TO PUT PRESSURE ON YOUR GOVERNMENT.

DAMN the press!!

3. Sara Beverley, I'm with you.
I love my sister and her honey/husband who is closing in on 60, I think, but her honey is still experiencing PTSD from Vietnam and it's affected their marriage. It is all mental, he is a great guy, and I guess my point is war/combat/PTSD sucks, shouldn't happen.

6. I so agree! Out of Iraq now!!!
Bring the kids home. We need to focus on protecting THIS country as in here - as in our territory. Dickey can do without the profits.

5. Things are going quite nicely in Iraq
The people are showering our troops with love and affection. Our brave leader, King George, reports that 80% of the country has embraced our compassionate conservatism. It's only a few isolated cases of outlaws causing some minor inconveniences, so no need to worry. Go back and watch more Fox News and sleep well tonight in the knowledge that a major invasion of our great country was foiled thanks to the courage of King George.
