Time for Congress to have another 100 hours agenda and some more hearings.

1. Yes. Kicked.

Hope the murderous boy-king is squirming in front of the cameras come SOTU . . .

2. I don't recall ...

Shrub campaigning in 2006 to end the Iraq war or getting our soldiers out of there.

3. You are right..however;

he campaigned on continuing the war and removing Husein, well our soldiers did that...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

So it's time to bring them home they have completed their mission.

But the truth is out now, it was not about the Iraqi people and removing Husein it was about the oil and trying to control the region.

Welcome to DU!!:hi:

4. Look at these graphs comparing Iraq to Vietnam:

So far, Iraq has actually had more casualties for the same time period.

6. WTF? Are you saying it's good that 25 soldiers were killed?

Or that hearings will be held? Please explain, or I'll have to conclude there's something wrong with you, or that you belong on some other site, not DU.

8. I am saying ...

let's waste more time having hearings and 100 hours agenda's while our troops get massacred in Iraq.

9. My reply was directed to the now-deleted post,

which was apparently intended to stir the pot and make DU look bad. The poster has been deservedly tombstoned. I'm not disagreeing with you at all -- we don't need months of hearings to figure out that Iraq is in the toilet and we need to get out ASAP.
