The foreign forces have to finally run from iraq with their PANTS OFF do you agree?

I'm sure somebody used em to describe Vietnam.   I think, though, that the issue they're talking about is our responsibility to provide stability in government. The removal of Saddam created a very real power vaccume in Iraq. (question of right/wrong in doing so aside) Simply leaving after getting Saddam, would have drawn even more condemnation from the world. The world would  be screamin at us for NOT doing something to help them. As it is, they're screaming at us FOR doing somehthing. Whether or not what we're doing is effective, is another story.

I take it you are one of those military experts that never served? Hey, you should be a Republican politician. The USA will pull out of Iraq when the hostilities have ceased and there is no threat from Iran and Syria. We do not hear much about it, but most insurgents that are not from Iraq enter over the border of Iran and Syria. The USA and Canada will be in Afghanistan, until the last al Qaeda is tracked down and killed or cartured. No women pres or pm, especially in Great Briton. They learned from Thatcher. US will not have a US president for another 20 years. I would get lower than a snakes belly or run the other way no matter where I am shot at. Some people do do extraordinary things in a hostile situation that you would not normally do.

We need to finish what we started, not just show up for the party and leave the cleanup for someone else.  I doubt there will be a full military pullout for a long time.  Personal opinion aside, if the US is truly a government of the people; then, we will be there as long as the majority of Americans believe we should be.  A silent voice is an uncounted voice.

you know, i think we have got some more important things to do before we leave iraq.we should make sure that the situation will not get bad when we leave iraq.you are right, the police and iraqi forces are trained but you know, the situation is so sensitive, we should be sure about iran, syria and other goverments who support terrorists and tell them not to be involved in iraq and its affairs and then we can leave with the honor of victory.( i am an iranian citizen and i respect the US soldiers very much and i know US as a country which i have always wanted to live in)

Probably not for at least ten years. They need to sort out their human rights issues, treatment of Kurds etc. Also military would have to be totally seperated from the state. It would give the EU some pretty dodgy borders e.g. Iraq. yes but not until it sorts itself out

I would love to say yes it is. But we can't leave now with the mess Iraq is in. I don't think we should have ever gone over there, we did. We can't leave them with this Chaos,  they have nothing in place to deal with any of this violence.We have to finish what we started. If we leave now, it only makes us look worse than we already look. I think it will be a long time before our troops can come home, unfortunately.

They have caused enough problems over there. If they want to continue getting killed and continue killing then they should stay. If they really are seeking democracy for Iraq (which is none of their business in the first place) then they should leave now and let the Iraqis govern themselves and set up a new constitution and start living a normal sovereign life like any country !

Yes. An exit strategy. It will go something like this. We give Iraq a time-line to get their government "in gear" and running, telling them it's their responsibility to get the violence under control. A year passes, nothing changes. Now the onus is on them instead of us. We give them a few more months and tell them if no changes, we start withdrawing our troops. Nothing changes, still uncontrolled violence everywhere. Around April of 08 we start pulling our troops out, and then both parties can place the blame on Iraq for not gaining control of their own country, dismissing any part they had in starting the cause of the violence.

Yes, our military involvement in Iraq will end, whether it's called a war, police action, or whatnot. At the very least, a president -- likely not the current one -- will simply declare victory, or mission accomplished, and then pull the troops out. Very much like what occurred in Vietnam. But if we settle for this sort of "victory," we may well face dire consequences as a result. \n\nI certainly hope we are able to bring our troops home after they have truly accomplished their mission. Are they very far away from doing that? From the news reports it certainly seems a distant thing.

transfer them to Iraq

Believe me, you aren't the only one questioning this. I think it will take as long as we're willing to put up with it. They will have to learn a whole lot quicker, when we pull out.( or they will take their weapons, and go home )

THE ONLY REASON THE EMBASSY IS NEEDED THERE IS BECAUSE OUR TROOPS ARE THERE,OTHERWISE THE GLAMOUROUS EMBASSY NEEDS TO FADE AND LET THE IRAQI'S DECIDE THEIR OWN FATE AND LIFESTYLE.NOT THE U.S. OR OSAMAMAMA DECISION.I BELIEVE THE IRAQ'S WERE ALSO IN LINE WHEN THE BRAINS WERE PASSED OUT.

Could we defeat them? Yes we could. Do we currently have the balls to jump in a furball with them and stick it out to the win? No, we do not. Witness Iraq and all the mewling and whining even after it was carefully explained that it would be a long, expensive process.\n\nShould we? No. All we need do is show that we have the guts and determination to finish what we started in Iraq, they will back off.
362565
I think that we will be there for several years to come--at least 5.  Or until a new pres. takes the Oath and yanks them all (our troops) back. \n\nI don't think we will ever completely leave Iraq.  We still have bases in Germany, Japan, and many other countries. (Of course, they are our Allies now....maybe one day Iraq will will one of our Allies, too.  Wow, that's like imagining to live on the moon!!)

Ask when are we going to get out of Iraq.

I think the end of 2008 is when the U.S. military should start leaving.  The Iraqi military will be in control of 75% of Iraq at the end of the summer and probably 90 something percent at the end up 2008.  They could finish it from there.
