I'm damn happy the troops are leaving Iraq...

[cynatnite]

It took too damn long and cost too many damn lives. The suffering we caused Iraq and our own troops will last for generations. The scars will never go away.

I'm not declaring victory here. That was never meant to be considerig the lies and manipulation that got us in this obscene war in the first place.

I'm just damn happy that this is one war we can declare is at an end.

1. My exact feelings

My nephew was one of the lucky ones - he came home alive without physical scars.

[Booster]

3. My nephew also. After 3 tours over there he retired from the

Marines with everything intact. Thank God. Mr. Obama finally did it, but it took a little too long for me. But, I repeat, he did do it.

4. MIne only had one tour

and he was very lucky - he got out just after Falujah before it got significantly worse.

7. I'm with you there.

peace out.

8. They're not leaving... it's impossible.

Because of all that oil.

I mean, it may happen in practice.

But can it happen in theory?

9. The Iraqi gov. got independent or perhaps more dependent on Iran

11. I want a total of collateral damage and expenses...
