Reply #59: why not leave [View All]

The suggestion that the U.S. just "up and leave" is assinine and incompetent!

You're suggesting to pick up our toys and leave after spending 100 million dollars to go there in the first place?!

If the U.S. were to do that with Iraq, we'd have to do that in every other country we have troops, which means we wouldn't have anyone in those other countries making sure all the wack-job neanderthal militant crazy socialist thugs can't grow in power and attack us here at home.

On top of that, the United States is the only country out to protect the United States, partly by removing wack job thug militant regimes, instead of doing business with them, like half the U.N. member countries.

Nobody bitched when Clinton sent NOT ENOUGH TROOPS to Bosnia, (we're STILL there by the way), as a "Peacekeeping mission". But a "Republican" doesn't dare do it! "Because all they care about is money and power!"
