President Talabani, maybe it's acceptable in your culture to send your young men and women on suicide bombing missions but rest assured it's not the case with American mothers and fathers. We are getting sick and tired of sending our sons and daughters to be blown up for your hell hole of a country whose current existence is strictly to make wealthy men of those vultures that manipulated a weak American President into a regime change and are now robbing the American taxpayers blind in perpetual reconstruction projects.
You say "U.S. forces would remain in the country as long as needed - ``no matter what the period.''"..........guess again! We have elections coming up and we'll toss out on their a**es those that think they can stay on the FREE pony ride forever.
We just had THE big election a tad over a year ago. Nothing was said at that time about a withdrawal by the winner of said election.
Do you have a child/spouse/family member in the military? We do not "send" them anywhere. Our military is ALL VOLUNTEER. They are ADULTS and they CHOOSE to go.
Referring to THE President as weak only exposes your ignorance of the man and the job he is doing.
varon, your lame Cindy Sheehan-like rant doesnt represent most mothers and fathers in America, doesnt represent the best of Freepers, and is both offensive and cowardly.
America will NOT bug out on Iraq. We did the right thing to liberate Iraq from Saddam, we did the right thing to stay the course and set Iraq up as a democratic Republic of Iraq, and we are doing the right thing NOW in grinding down the terrorist groups fighting against us.
Those who counsel adandoing of Iraq are wishing the doom of America's pre-eminence.
