    No debate there. The answer is never. The US has troops in Japan/Germany 60 years after WW2. We do NOT leave nations we occupy unless one looks to the Vietnam debacle.

    It’s true that his hair is whitening at a rate much faster than any seen before.

    Anyone supporting withdrawal, answer this:

    What the is going to happen to Kurdistan and most of the Iraqi secular left, when we leave and the militias have free reign?

    What America …
    What America doesn’t know is that most of the in the service were either forced to enlist by their parents, escaping from the law, or too stupid to stay in school. I was in the Army and I assure you, there are no heros. We drank, everything with a hole, masturbated at every chance, and mocked civilians. We did our duties well because we had to, otherwise we didn’t give a about anyone but ourselves. No heroes. Only stupid expendable rejects of society. USA toilet paper for me,

    I just wonder if these people even know what a brigade is

  13. Ok people listen …
    Ok people listen here and listen good. Support it or not don’t blame it on the President as i have. But it is to my mistake in doing so. They are doing what they are being told to do. and either way Afghanstan and Iraq hold Terroristic (spell?) Leaders. We happened to take down the Ace (Saddam) Bin Laden is Dead thats for sure! His videos were created a while ago and just realsed now to make you morons think he is alive.

    yep the U.S won …
    yep the U.S won every land war in vietnam, but we still lost the vietnam war. the U.S vietnam war is equilvilant to the afghan soviet war. We also left vietnam because of the press.

  17. you are an idiot. …
    you are an idiot. we won every major land battle in vietnam. we beat the outta the commies during the tet offensive. we slaughterd them in hue. we made them run north in Ia drang. thanks to people like Walter Cockrite, america didnt like vietnam. and why in the should we wait for american civialians to be killed to do something? EVERY SINGLE US SOLDIER VOLUNTEERED. one main reason we left vietnam is because of the draft. pissants like you were afraid to go.

  18. you cant say that …
    you cant say that hussein did not have wmds. he had the capabilities to make them, and had used them. dont believe the misconception that wmd means nuclear. it doesnt. it means nuclear, chemical, biological. Weapon of Mass Destruction. anything that will cause mass destruction. hmm, an airborne agent in nyc, sound pretty massive, doesnt it? resaerch saddams attempt of exterminating the Kurds. he used wmds. mustard gas.

  19. I supported the war …
    I supported the war on Afghanistan. They were harboring bin Laden, who supposedly was responsible for 9/11, which I disagree with, but yet that was where they should have gone. The CIA tricked us into believing the WMD crap. We never did find them did we? No. Then it became Hussein. He’s gone. Now it’s to create stability. Look. Those people have been fighting thousands of years and will never stop. They just created a new Afghanistan after the USSR left. Now warlords and thugs will take over.

  20. One reason we left …
    One reason we left Vietnam is because after the Tet Offensive, it turned into an unwinnable war. So many people are dieing over there now. Is it really worth it? It’s their country. Let them fight for it. Well let me ask you this. When you see your friends and your family going over there and dieing, are you going to still support the war? The war is a waste of money. Great. We should do that. Not retaliate. Sit and wait for them. Then when they come here, we blow the out of them.

  21. thats dumb for 2 …
    thats dumb for 2 reasons. one, vietnam fell again after we pulled out, and the iraqi troops are even more spineless than the arvns, and two this started because of our vietnam strategy. they planned on us being spineless and not retalliating. we HAVE to stay. we HAVE to get UN backing, thats the way to fix it, get UN behind us.

  22. stop the war at …
    stop the war at middle east.are you crazy?what if middle east attact US later.if us stop war at M E iraqi and other gla forces will save their budjet and then they will attact US.

  23. wow biden pwned at …
    wow biden pwned at 3 mins

  24. where is Obama’s …
    where is Obama’s answer? WHo edited it out? And why?

  25. What people don’t …
    What people don’t seem to understand, is that if we pull out right now, we leave ourselves in the same position that we did a few years ago. We need to take care of the sitiuation before we leave and set up some form of government or diplomatic understanding that we will not have to deal with another 9/11.
