Does anyone else get very irritated when politicians say immediate withdrawal from Iraq is not an option?

No! What I get sick of is the wussy liberal leaders who seem to forget the fact that they supported going to war! The entire world believed that it was the right thing to do! Stand up for your decisions and help the US win this one. Don't create a failure like you did in Vietnam...

This war would be over by now if our military leaders were allowed to fight a real war. The "free love", politically correct liberal hippies won't let them destroy the enemy with all our firepower and win this war. I think John Kerry's words were - "We need to fight a kinder, gentler war." Huh!?!? What a dumb ****! War is exact opposite of kind and gentle.

The decision to go to war is something that must be avoided at all costs, but once the decision is made, we should go all out. The terrorists in Iraq should have been blown to bits by air strikes from our B-52's. Instead, we send our troops into harm's way and they have to fight hand-to-hand....

This is what happens when you have flip-flopping "make love, not war" politicians running the war....

Regardless if it was the right thing or not, we cannot leave until there is a stable government in place.

No. It shows they occassionally face reality.

maslyn_jl

No, it tells me that they are realizing the reality of the matter. THEY CAN NOT JUST WITHDRAWL THE TROOPS!

Yes, they said the same thing about Vietnam. & look what happened in Siagon!

No, I breathe a sigh of relief that they recognize the repercussions of immediate withdrawal.

No. Usually those people speaking have a reason for saying it. But because you disagree doesn't make them wrong.

Well its not and most people should realize that, how could we immediately evacuate all our troops from Iraq in one giant swoop. We have neither the equipment to do this or should we do it even if withdrawal was the correct action since it would place the troops in extreme danger in this type of move besides putting contractors and Iraqis who support us in greater danger.

i know that some have a little common since when i hear it

Yes, instead of wasting lives over there, why not bring 'em all home, and protect our own borders and let them kill themselves. We can't fix the world...

Dan

NO... Because an immediate withdrawl would leave Iraq unstable.

I get more frustrated than irritated. Unfortunately, I have to agree with them, and the fact that there is not an easy solution is extremely frustrating. I am tired of picking up the Army Times every week and immediately checking to see if any of my friends I have made in my career died this month. It's getting old.

It is only my hope that we as a country, as a military, and as a government learn something from this mess. Let's not allow history to repeat itself.

I get upset when someone with no understanding of the situation or the ground truth implies that withdrawal is the solution.

If one can *logically* look at the war, who we are fighting there and what they will do if we retreat, they will support our efforts. If one listens to the soldiers risking their lives instead of calling us 'brainwashed idiots,' then they would not support pulling us out.

Harvey

No, I agree with them...as do the majority of service members over here.

It really doesn't matter one way or the other. It will all end the same sooner or later.

Yes it is frustrating to see how disconnected they are from the American people. We had no business being there in the first place. It is an illegal undeclared war of occupation with no plans for withdrawal. It is a march to empire and now we have the massive forward basses to project power in the region. This whole thing is so insane it defies belief!

*RaMi*

I do!! It's frustrating! I think its time to bring them home :)
