Personally I don't think after the gigantic debacle that the Iraq war has been from the onset, there is just no way Obama could make it all 'good'. What is he going to do, put a cherry on top of it? So they say today they will leave in 2010 but that could be pushed back, and they could send more troops in. Or start another war.

They've been in Afghanistan since late 2001 and no sign of pulling out. Will it be five more years of war in Afghanistan? Or maybe ten? And how many casualties? If 9/11 was 3000 then Iraq + Afghanistan will in the end be more like 3 000 000. Maybe that's the ratio, for every American, kill a thousand 'rag heads'.

The plan sucks because it leaves ALOT of room for "Extended Stay"

He ramatazed though the campaign talking about how we were going to be out VERY quickly then we hear this crap.

Here is a tip. Iraq is going to be Iran's ***** they want it that way and it does not matter if we leave now or 2015. The only thing that will win this war is for oil to go down to 20 dollars.

What are we as americans" going to do about this mess, I here people talk all kinds of "crap".. But what dose all this (CRAP) mean?

1. Is there a way out?
2. What are the chances we'll fail?
3. why did we not pull out sooner?
4. What will happen after we leave?
5. What will the people back home think about it?
6.Can we aford to leave now?
7. Where do we realy stand on this matter?

We will be present in Iraq for a long time. Sure, time to pull out as many as possible. I think that most will be pulling into Afghanistan.

Yea that's right, I need more 're-education', maybe in Guantanomo or Abu Ghraib.

A bit odd but I kinda miss Cheney, at least he could somehow be held accountable and I think he even made statements to the effect that given the chance they wouldn't go to Iraq. Now with a new leadership and 'government' the slate has been wiped clean and nobody is guilty anymore, of anything. This is a part of the US 'democracy' that I find strange. I don't miss Bush because he was just Cheney's puppet.
