Well I havent been following this thread so skipped some of the messages so forgive me if i say anything already said, but the reality is were not going anywhere. We are staying in Iraq in an attempt to "stabilize" the middle east. Has anyone seen how many US military bases are being built to this day in Iraq? If Iraq had the oil reserves of oh say Syria would we have gone and occupied? I dont think so. And from everyone ive heard that isnt A bush spindoctor Saddam was embroiled in inner state affairs the last years of his reign. All that talk of him uniting the middle east under one flag and taking control of its vast oil reserves, not since the iraq iran debacle. Iran was weak militarly when the Shah abdicated and the situation fell in Saddams lap but the whole reason Kuwait was even invaded was to pay the massive war debts from the iraq iran conflict, not another attempt to conquer the entire middle east. installing governments favorable to our needs in crucial places, like Afgahnistan (hotbed of terrorism) and Iraq(hotbed of oil). Too bad the Shah was kicked out of Iran, was good while it lasted though. But hey we still have the Saudis wrapped around our little finger so it cant be too bad, and everyone still has to trade in dollars when it comes to oil for now anyways. Get the Iraqis on their feet and get the military out of there. Honestly without a brutal dictator in Iraq the country is going to be in constant turmoil. Remember India. Everyone moved to their own segregated area, and now you have India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. These people in Iraq should just form three sovereign states and be done with it. Its better then babysitting a bunch of religous fanatics whove been fighting for 1200 hundred years, think that ****s gonna stop cause we said so?
