Does anyone recall how long we stayed in Germany or Japan after WWII?  We still have a great presence in these countries and I would hope that we will be in Iraq for a long time too.  We need a foothold in the middle East to actually “stabilize the region.  Or we could let the politics and negative press ruin everything, and just “cut and run”, just like we did in Vietnam or Korea.  I vote STAY!

Do you really think the Bush Administration is going to pull out.  I think they will leave the iraq skirmish in place for the following reason.

With the bad republican track record of the last two Bush terms, they will most likely loose to the democrats in the next election.  If the new administration pulls out or remains, it will be a disaster.  It is a no win situation. 

It is a disaster now that the bush administration wants to saddle the next administration with.

We can’t just pull out, what about Halliburton’s profits?

Bush: “There’s bombings, bloodshed and civil war in Iraq.  Water and electric utilities are down and the country is in complete shambles.” 

Chaney: “Good.  I think our work there is done.  Let’s pull out and move on to Syria.  Then Iran!” 

Now I get it.

As Ahnold would say: “It’s just like Vietman and the Korean War and these type of things.”
