Iraq's Parliament calls for expulsion of U.S. troops

CW5 Jack Cardwell alright, now the discussion is cooking with oil. The hard questions have to be answered.

I say the same.

Lt Col Charlie Brown yes, so true. But, hopefully, the powers to be considered that we are dealing with a culture of people that will spill blood until the very last drop is drained. Their centuries old Allah, pride, and power trumps everything in the line of fire.

And they deserve everything they have coming to them. The Bush Administration made the mistake of thinking that the Iraqi people would be grateful for our ridding them of a tyrant they were unable to rid themselves of. Instead they turned to looting their national treasures and blamed us for not doing more to stop them! So much for believing that they would be like the Germans and Japanese who immediately set to work rebuilding their war torn country and reinventing themselves as allies and trading partners. Some folks simply aren’t capable of governing themselves... and they are best ruled over by tyrannical Islamofascist regimes — like Iran!

I have a rather pessimistic slant towards this conflict - it was a mess when we got there, and it will be a mess when we leave. I don't think we can fix this. It's like a poker game with crappy cards - and you still keep betting.

Alright, CPT Jack Durish this is what seems to be the other side of the coin.

There's never been a better opportunity for us to pull out. I'm all for a good fight - but this isn't one. Cut our losses - and go.
