Exit without apologies (SEATTLE TIMES CALLS FOR EXIT FROM IRAQ - NO NEED TO BE THERE)

The Seattle Times ^ | 7/7/05 | Editorial

...here's a link to the previous editorials leading up to this one. The title is "Shackled by Gitmo."

This adds to my rage today.

[summer]

Post prayers and messages here for our law-abiding friends in London

The war caused untold suffering in Iraq

And, under saddam it was all rainbows & unicorns.

[Not A Snowbird]

Sigh...

And they wonder why I refuse to read the paper.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Imagine that. Tony Blair is standing fast, and these guys want us to abandon him. If we ran today, Blair would be left holding the bag. Gee. What a SELF-SERVING rat-jumping-ship idea! Shameful.

[Paradox]

Somehow, I think this is going to be embarassingly overshadowed by events in London today..

[popdonnelly]

Great timing. And leave Iraq to Al Qaeda. That's what happened in Afghanistan after the Soviets left. Don't these people ever learn anything? There's no reason to take them (the Seattle Times) seriously.

[My2Cents]

I suggest the US withdraw from Seattle...There's no reason to be there.

[3AngelaD]

Nice timing, wimps.

[bella1]

They obviously just woke up or certainly they would have pulled this editorial today of all days....no wait...never mind.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Yeah. I guess they just had bad luck on this timing. Just as Jesus comes like a thief in the night, so can Truth.

[Red Badger]

Typical liberal response, Create a mess, Declare victory, Run away, let someone else pay the price to pick up the pieces.................

[popdonnelly]

It'll be embarassing - if these guys are capable of embarassment. And it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

"Our military, a mix of regular and reserve forces, did all that was asked of them. Too often, they were ill-served by failures to adequately equip and prepare them for the war and its aftermath."

This is sooooooooo bogus. The American soldiers in Iraq are the best equipted and best trained in the history of our country. Further, the author says there were NO terrorist havens in Iraq before the war. Actually we found a terrorist training camp in Iraq complete with an old 747 fusilage to use in practicing hijacking techniques. Since we know of no indiginous terror groups from Iraq, just who does the author think was using this terrorist training facility? Never, ever, trust anything a liberal says.

[conservativewasp]

COWARDS!

[My2Cents]

Why are these people against democracy in the Arab world? That's what they're saying. They're saying that it doesn't matter if we pull out of Iraq, the job half done, and the provisional Iraqi government is overwhelmed by Saddamite insurgents and Islamists. Frankly, the editors or the Seattle Times are dopes.

Bed wetters

These people at the Seattle Daily Worker are absolute traitors.

Enough said.
