Actually, President Bush should state unequivocally that the U.S. DOES seek and WILL maintain permanent military bases in Iraq, as he should have done from the beginning -- as the MAIN reason we're there: to DEMONSTRATE to all regimes in the region exactly what will happen to them if they continue to support and supply terrorists, to get them to comply by INTIMIDATION INSTEAD OF additional military action, and to obviously be in position to do something about it if they don't.

Remember, Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi made it clear that he decided to disarm due to our terminating the regime in Iraq, NOT Afghanistan: "I will do whatever the Americans want because I saw what happened in Iraq, and I was afraid." And Syria has pulled out of Lebanon.

In contrast, pulling out of Germany might NOT be encouraging to our Nazi enemies, so THAT would be a better pullout to consider doing at this point in time, doncha think?

Our 60-year presence in Germany and our 50-year presence in Korea rightfully make people nervous that a half-century from now American Marines will be living on a base in downtown Baghdad.

It seems to me that it makes Germans and Koreans nervous when we talk about leaving.

Yesterday’s overwhelming Senate vote to require detailed reporting to Congress on Iraq and make clear that the United States will not stay longer “than required” puts Iraq back on Congress’s agenda.



Um, didn't this lose in the Senate?

Typical ignorant BS. These people simply do not get it!

What's it going to take for them to understand how this works? A dirtybomb in the subway car they happen to be riding on? A plane crashing into their house? What? Ugh...

MORON ALERT!

Have any of these delusional nutjobs ever tried to write "Exit Strategies" for:

Pit bull attacks
Avalanches
Bear Attacks.
Shark attacks
Tornadoes
Hippopotamus attacks
Rattlesnake attacks.
Avian Flu infestations...

Some things do not lend themselves to "Exit Strategies", otherwise, we would have the wisdom of 6000 years of civilization and wars (and presumably "exit strategies") to choose from.

We are painfully being driven to extinction by ignorant imbecile children.

Here is a strategy for exiting that some don't seem to understand. WIN THE CONFLICT BY DESTROYING THE ENEMY!

Finishing the job does not include leaving armed units of al queda on the loose.

Wimping out only encourages those fighters and they know Americans cannot stomach too much hostility and bloodshed when our troops are involved and the media is against America.

Lets take this sh@@ one step at a time.

First - President has already stated we will leave. BUT, you jacka@@, if the legal Iraq Government ask us to maintain a base in Iraq, you tell me why we should not. Think stupid

Second - If Iraq wants to sell us oil, why not. This is the most stupid of all your remarks.

Third - Hey, nut, it will be up to the Iraq Government to allow any allies or so called partners to remain in any capacity in their land. Dumb.

Fourth - That will be Iraq's problem. Not ours. President Bush only said we will help establish a democratic type of government in Iraq, and it will be up to the Iraq's and not us to create a viable anything. Got it, nut.

Fifth - What in the hell do you think we are doing. We have build a very strong Iraqi army and police with hundreds of thousands of personnel. We already working on increasing the caliber of their training. Where in the hell are you.

Oh, forgot, stuck on stupid. (forgive my typing errors, I'm just tired of this piss)

Okay, here's my strategy:

1. Kill all the Sunnis
2. Kill all the Shi'ites
3. Kill all the Kurds
4. Repeat the process in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, et. al.
5. Lease the empty land to the Mexicans sneaking across our borders in "search of a better life", while simultanously dismantling the US welfare system.

Should keep us busy for the next 50 years or so...

The goal in the war on Islamic terrorism should be this and this alone: total victory. And total victory means not having to fear being attacked by our enemies anymore.

To sum it all up the exit strategy of the Rats is to cut and run like Billy Jeff did from Mogadishu.
They don't care what happens afterwards

I've changed my mind about pulling out of Germany. Next battle in the war on terror may be Battleground Europe, and we need to stay in theater. Much as I hate the idea of pulling the French Chestnuts out again, we have vital interests in the region.

Dear Editors:

It is time to cut and run in Iraq.

Bush and virtually every Democrat, world leader, and intelligence agency came to the conclusion that Saddam had WMD. Since Saddam’s WMD have not yet been found, that appears to have been a big, but honest, mistake. Nonetheless, the Democrats’ lie that “Bush Lied,” has stuck with the Average American.

Democrats and the Media have convinced a majority of Americans that 2,000 dead soldiers is too high a price to win what Al Qaeda calls the “Central Front” in the War on Terror. It is immoral risk our troops when the Average American doesn’t believe fighting terrorists is worthwhile.

Rather than waste another soldier’s life defending our freedom against terrorists, let’s follow our Democrat Senators’ advice: cut and run, and turn Iraq over to Al Qaeda in Iraq. Bin Laden can come out of his cave and run the place.

Watching Democrats’ lies and cowardice cause Western Civilization to capitulate to medieval thugs proves Al Qaeda was right; Average Americans are unwilling to defend themselves.

My recommendation: study the Koran. Weak Americans should bow down to their superiors, the Islamofascists who can successfully dictate an American surrender through the Democrat party.

Right?

Current military plan is to go to 92K by the end of '06, right?

Isn't that an exit strategy?
