7. We are not getting out. We will be there for decades.
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 03:15 AM by sabrina 1
We have the biggest Embassy in the history of the world there, and several military bases. We've stolen their oil, slaughtered their people, and now we are moving on to the next phase, working on how to distribute the resources with cover from the puppet government we installed.

There are still 50,000 troops there, and a huge army of mercenaries, all of which is being paid for the American people.

It's interesting that you base your opinion on your perception of what a few people on the internet had to say about 'getting out'.

For most of us with a conscience and any familiarity with the rule of law, we always knew that if this country had any principles or morals left, we owed the Iraqi people more than we could ever pay back in several lifetimes. One of those things was to end torture. To instruct the puppet government we installed that the U.S. under a new president would not tolerate it. That the money we are paying them for their assistance in helping us establish a base in the ME, will stop if there are any reports of torture there. And if that doesn't work, explain to them that if we installed them, we can install someone else.

It seems to me that those who are unrec'ing this post are attempting to protect their own political interests rather than protect human rights.
