What am I missing? Could it be that the answer to my first question is “B”?

Well, it sure as hell ain’t A.

Americans have a moral obligation to finish what we started and make sure the job gets done right.

This raises the obvious question… are Democrats:
A. Americans, or are they
B. Soul-less automatons whose prime directive is permanently set to “gain power” no matter what the cost to their country or any other?

Why doesn’t someone ask Obama… isn’t it now obvious that a bipartisan commitment to win the war is the most honorable and fastest and safest way to secure the blessings of liberty for Iraq, and the blessings of being home with their families for more of our warfighters?

What am I missing? Could it be that the answer to my first question is “B”?

As for Americans gunning people down, the vast majority of the deaths in Iraq have been caused by the militias and AlQaida, not American forces. So if they are going to hate someone for killing members of their families, it would be more likely it would not be an American at all.

The truth is I am sure the Iraqis would rather not see armed men in the streets. I would not be surprised if there was not some presence there for some time, but no one wants to have a heavy military presence in that country any longer than it absolutely necessary.

Sigh.

Why do liberals hate the Iraqi’s?

Coming from a Muslim-scum-who-worship-a-pedophile-moongod conservative, that ‘hate Iraqis’ line is pretty funny.

Muslims lecturing America about moral responsibility?

Why do conservatives hate the Iraqis?

Muslims lecturing America about moral responsibility? Innocent Iraqis condemning our bloodthirsty troops? Swooning over Obama in Baghdad? Misinformation accomplished.

but as one said, the Americans have a moral obligation to finish what we started

I thought that they were supposed to finish what we started as they stood up and we stood down. Muslim ingrates. Oh my well.

Even the Iraqis have no clear conception of the answers, but as one said, the Americans have a moral obligation to finish what we started and make sure the job gets done right.

They owe us, we do not owe them.

And, no, I am not going to kiss any korans for saying that.

Does it matter that US troops want out themselves because it is too safe and too boring?

How many troops re-enlisted In Iraq on the 4th of July?

See ‘CNN headline’

It’s the liberal Dems in New York and California who will end up paying for the war, cs.

The least you guys could do is say…thanks.

They want us to pull out of Iraq… but yet they aren’t asking us to pull out of Kuwait or Saudi Arabia or Japan or Germany or South Korea or Afghanistan so Why do they HATE the Iraqi’s?

Withdrawal itself is not unpopular among Iraqis; a lot of them would like Americans to leave.

And the faster the IA steps up to the plate the faster the withdrawal can begin….

by Bush and our exceptional military, with zero help from the Dems.

Not only with little help, but they were/are actively engaged in losing this war in order to gain the presidency.

Total sacks of excrement!

On a practical not: we’ll have air power and adequate ground troops to protect and guide that air power in Iraq for many years to come. Other than that, ground pounders in the cities will likely be gone within a year. War won… by Bush and our exceptional military, with zero help from the Dems.

The New York Times has a balanced and interesting article on how Iraqis view proposals to get American troops out of Iraq.

The New York Times is not a single entity, but of course employs a great many people who usually skew left. Watch this author’s work and see if they are indeed a real journalist, acting like a journalist, not the typical liberal advocate that the NYT employs. If this person is out of a job there within a year, I don’t think I would be too surprised.

We should be talking about building permanent bases in Iraq, not withdrawal.

The New York Times has a balanced and interesting article on how Iraqis view proposals to get American troops out of Iraq.

Are we reading the same article? It answers every little Obama criticism with a love affair to him. Then it gets to this:

Many Iraqis hate American forces because soldiers have killed their relatives and friends, and they say they want the troops out…

“Of course I want the American forces to leave Iraq,” said May Adnan Yunis, whose sister was killed, along with a female and a male co-worker, when they were gunned down by American soldiers while driving to work at Baghdad International Airport three weeks ago. “I want them to go to hell.”

The three were “gunned down” because they were shooting at soldiers. The article mentions violence and only a few small security gains.
