Zarqawi is DEAD, Troops are coming HOME......? If not, why not?
Will the man turn out to be a Crown of Thorns echinoderm..."kill it" and it spreads even more...?

Bush and Rummy making it a big deal on TV....and its good news for THEM...but what of the Troops? Ya just know them "Insurgents" are ticked no end and retaliate with something other than a ChuckyCheese luncheon.

BRING THE TROOPS HOME SOON......

1. I don't think
our presence in Iraq has anything to do with Iraq. I think it is all about Iran now.

5. Thanks opihimoimoi
Been reading for awhile. Actually signed up about a year ago. Other posters actually say what I am thinking better than I can.

2. Why would this bring them home?
The war against the people of Iraq has nothing to do with Zarqawi.

9. We don't span the globe militarily
for the troops to come home. They are the global police force. Without them, the UN couldn't function, if it even does now. There are resources civilization requires(not just energy, although secondary to energy), and they are there to keep things up and running.

Some may "come home" eventually, but we're not leaving. Danger, no danger, war, peace, it doesn't matter.

10. It's just pathetic the way the U.S. MSM has jumped on this
Zarqawi story. Remember that the same institution that has promulgated the "Zarqawi is dead" trope is the same institution that lied and covered-up about Hadditha for at least 6 months. So why should anyone believe the U.S. military when they say anything anymore? Their credibility has gone to the same place as the BFEE's: the shitter.
