A really ignorant statement. Russia does have troops in their own Iraq, it's called CHECHNYA. India has hundreds of thousands of troops concentrated near their own Iraq, it's called PAKISTAN. China keeps a weary eye over their own muslim population, which sometimes ends in bloody clashes. In 2004 China declared martial law in a Hui, (muslim), province, where the NY Times reported 166 deaths in an uprising. China suffered a major Muslim Rebellion, (by the Hui), in the 1800's. Today, there is only a delicate peace between the Hui, (muslim Chinese), and the Han, (traditional Chinese); but intense distrust and hatred between the two still exists. You just need to read a little more.
The Dems don’t care as long as they get the power they seek. They will then spin it that they had to send troops in to clean up the mess created by Bush. The mainstream media will agree.
Q: How long must the US stay in Iraq to prevent it becoming a terrorist Disneyland when we leave?
A: Forever.
Q: So one time is as good as another to pull out?
A: Well, yeah.
Neville Chamberlain is alive and well.
Here’s what will actually happen. Tancredo says this and it seems reasonable. The US will be in Iraq for a long time, although Iraq will be taking over security operations everywhere by Nov 07.
