Republicons say if america leaves Iraq it will be a training ground..
for the terrorists. I would like to know what is it now. They have learned how to kill americans with better methods but the Iraqis can't seem to learn how to be trained to take over their country. So in reality america is training the terrorists...

1. Which it was not before we invaded. Good work, George.
George is a champion rainmaker in terror proliferation.

4. Yes we are. They are learning by doing. And as long as we keep
providing them juicy new recruits and exhausted multi-deployees they will keep taking classes in the field.

11. They don't have any allies...
because they wanted to control everything in the beginning and they ran all of the help away. This is there problem they want to control everyone in the world and it always has to be their way. They want to control us in our everyday lives but they claimed for all of these years that they are for limited government and people should control what they do with their own lives. These are the biggest hypocrites!

7. I'm starting to think our only hope is to install a strongman
kind of a Saddam lite. This neocon wet dream of a democratic Iraq is a waste of time, money and more importantly lives. The best case scenario for us right now would be a strong dictator with some ties to the US or at least someone that can force an end to the sectarian nightmare that we started 4 years ago.

I still don't know what to make of Bidens proposal to divide the country? I think that would leave the Shia with a lot of regional power and really strong ties to Iran, not a good combination IMHO.

8. We only have ourselves to thank for making Iraq the quagmire it is today.
Saddam was a mean, evil man, but his country was not developing terrorists with a hatred toward Americans the way it is now. So, in that respect things are much worse.

All the reports say we're in more danger now BECAUSE of the war. So, it makes sense that ending it would make us safer. We need to make changes on our own soil to protect ourselves. We can't do that in another country.

10. This is one of the things I can't understand about those who still ...
support this. They have cut funding for the police and fire in america. National guards are in Iraq. They want to leave the ports unprotected and there are many other things that they aren't doing to protect us over here.

13. Iraq is a Christo-Freedomacracy on the March
in just a few more months (144) it will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder (the Earth's crust will be wrinkled by God, placing the US east of Israel and West of Iraq) against Terror-Satanists (or Tssists as they should be called).

14. If a Republican says it, it must be wrong.
They really haven't been right about anything for quite awhile now. I'm willing to take the risk that they don't know what they're talking about. They're just serving up another helping of self serving bullshit designed to scare the sheep into line.

16. Not just terrorist
The US used it's most advanced military weapons and tactics in Iraq. Countries like China are certainly watching, probing and stealing what ever technology they can.
