What part of TERRORIST TRAINING GROUND does the moron author NOT understand? His draft-dodging "hero" BJ Clinton set REGIME CHANGE IN IRAQ as US policy. President Bush had the stones to do more than give the issue lip service.

Yo! Mikey! And were you prepared to invade Waziristan [Pakistan]in pursuit of UBL, with all those troops you would have saved by not invading Iraq? You know, the nuclear armed Pakistan? You know, with Iran to your rear?
Mr coren spends too much time looking in his rear view mirror.
Where did this article come from?
Not removing Saddam and not having sanctions = Iraqi WMDs within a relatively short time.
How did they determine that I voted against RINOs as a result of the war in Iraq?
Hey, where's your compassion, conservative?!

Good post. This isn't a pure left-right issue. There are Freepers who support the intervention and those who oppose it. I respect both positions but come out against keeping more than half of our ground forces (in-country, refitting or preparing to deploy) there indefinitely. We may need our Army and Marines for other contingencies. And it's not fair to the 1% of the U.S. population that is serving in the military and their families. Two tours is enough.
One sometimes has to sit back and look at the Art of Writing.
There are many points we can all agree on. But the underlying assumption is wrong.
So we end up scratching our heads and wondering, yeah, so what?
Huh?
Of course, the writer also thinks Ike was the greatest American President of the 20th century....

In other words it is better to just let them live in tyranny? What kind of moral equivalence is this out of sight out of mind attitude? Let alone the fact that the terrorism that will breed in Iraq will come descending down on US cities as surely as the planes on 9/11.
The terrorists played our media perfectly. They are natural constituents along with the demonrats.
We are there because it is in our best interest to be there.
Democracy might be a favor to Iraqis, but it is also the best way to stop the terrorists in their tracks. The terrorists know that - that is why they flock to Iraq. They have no choice - if we win there, they lose forever.
It is frightening someone so ignorant can have articles published...
Saddam violated the 1991 Articles of Surrender for 12 years and he attempted to assassinate a former POTUS. He deserved to be taken out even without 911.
Post 911 there was NO CHANCE for any responsible POTUS to let his terrorist ties go unthwarted. He was working on getting Nukes and who is to say he wouldn't provide/sell one to the highest terrorist bidder? Once again POST 911 there is no way a responsible POTUS takes that kind of chance.
The post Iraq war has been a nightmare but that is because we suck at nation building and the terrorists KNOW our nation gets tired of extended conflicts. The election proved them CORRECT!!
As George Bush said, we must not waver, we must not falter, we must NOT FAIL!!
IMHO....the consequences of losing would be catastrophic.
