This occupation has gone on far too long. End it now!

 
WTFDYW [TotalFark] 2008-08-10 03:09:18 PM  
We need to start getting out. IMHO, slowly getting equipment out and troops and moving them to home and Kuwait to see what happens from there. If shiat starts to hit the fan, we're still there close by to intervene. But yes, let's definitely start a withdrawal slowly, but steady ASAP.

Those Iraqis are sure getting uppity, aren't they? They must be getting bad influence from somewhere . . .

'Due to Barrack Hussein Obama going to Iraq this past month, it seems that his elitist 'cut-and-run' defeatist attitude has rubbed off onto the Iraqis. Now, they are claiming that they don't need this great country's help in stabilizing their freedom. Mr. Osama has not only shown his arrogance in his inflated mindset that he is president already, but he is turning the Iraqis away from freedom and into terrorist-emboldening liberals. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we should expect from an inexperience, ethnic democrat: people shunning away the assistance of this great patriotic country. I weep for this country's future, and you should be concerned about your children's future as well, should this ni...bigger threat to this country than terrorists ever gets into that White House.'

Iraq demands timeline for U.S. withdrawal
But U.S. officials insist there is no agreement on specific dates

i.e.
"Dude, my party has been over for 3 days. You need to leave now."
"Hey, man! Let's invite some friends over! I still have some beer left!"

Demanding personal responsibility is a pretty heroic task when you're on the gravy train.

Americans seem to think that Iraq's destiny only matters to America. They forget that the people who are directly impacted by whatever happens there are the Iraqis. That's what is so disgusting about the whole win/loss, victory/surrender talk being proffered by so many people. That frames the destiny of Iraq entirely in terms of America's reputation. The reality is that thousands of people live over there, and they should have every right to control their own destiny.

keytronic 2008-08-10 08:27:53 PM  
This bodes very badly for McCain. Kind of kills his whole "lose a war to win an election" line if the Iraqis and the Bush administration are agreeing to a US troop withdrawl that is very simmilar to one that Obama has been suggesting for months.

 
dangelder 2008-08-10 08:28:01 PM  
Look, if you come into my house, you have the right to say when you should think about possibly leaving. Anything less would be being a bad host, and that's not American.

the terrorists will get the oil
it will embiggen the terrorists
now all they have to do is wait us out

did I miss anything?

Funny how a McCain 16 months timeline is a win and an Obama 16 month timeline is a lose.

So we're out of Iraq in 16 months,talking to Iran,sending more guys to Afghanistan to shore up against a rising Taliban and making strikes inside Pakistan to go after AQ. Just what Obama wanted to do.
That's leadership.

It's not up to them though. For all we've done for them they should at least show some gratitude. And they're in no position to demand our withdrawal.

I'd love to withdraw, but we have to make sure the job is done. While our boys are doing a great job over there we just aren't finished just yet. Withdrawing would let us move our focus to Afghanistan/Pakistan/Iran but as I said, we aren't finished in Iraq yet. Cut and running like the libs are promoting is not an option. Iraq is becoming more stable by the day and leaving now would be catastrophic.

Simply because an Iraqi official realized A) what a lame duck GWB truly is & B) if McCain is elected, the Iraqi people are stuck 4 more years of disastrous occupation. It does my heart good to see a gov't official taking notice of reality & then running with it.

If GW is in office when they set up the agreement. They have a democratic government. Looks ok to me.. Will you Obama lovers stop calling it an occupation. Normally you dont get to ask those who, are occupying to leave. If it was an occupation, it would have ended alot sooner and alot less messy.

An occupation is the extended presence of numbers of victorious troops in a defeated country. It is an occupation. Unfortunately, General Shinseki's estimate of 300,000 or more troops necessary for a successful occupation and rebuilding of Iraq is proving correct.
