45% say they would support a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq

but we better make up with our nato buddies and the un and ask for some help pdq

I did not support the invasion. But now that we have eliminated any semblance of order in that country, I think we have an obligation to protect them. And God help us if it turns into more of a quagmire than it already is...

Whoa, you are not the last liberal in texas as long as Iam here.I did not support the invasion and fellows employees seemed unconcerned and uninterested that I began to question my reasoning and emotions, but nah... I was right. Now we pray that it ends soon.

45% of the American public doesn't know what they're talking about then.

I agree with you, comradeibllyboy. Time to bite the bullet and bring in NATO and the UN.

by giving it to formerly U.S./now Cayman Islands-based oil corporations. It will be tougher for him to give the oil to his special intrests if he allows the U.N. to help us.

Also, he seems to want to install an Iraqi government who will allow these Cayman Islands-based oil companies to walk all over the Iraqis. We need to help the Iraqis set up a true democratic republic that allows the Iraqis to vote and fight by changing minds instead of assassinating whatever dictator is there. Provisions for a free-press, free-speech and a fair vote must be there and the Iraqis need to decide most of the rest. Their government needs a strong foundation with strong checks and balances to make it as hard as possible for a dictator to take control, that we help build, for them to build the rest on.

Then we need to pull out and buy some of our oil from the state-run Iraqi oil services (you can't privitize the oil, because who would you give it's ownership to? The Iraqis, but if all the Iraqis own it, then that means that it might-as-well be run by the government that they will own so that they can vote in changes to how it is run and how the revenues will help support the other public works such as water, police, fire, road building/maintanance and power).

land of the free...lot of banks, drugs, you name it..and the place where they hide all the cash...lot of things happening in islands..

Canada...
we are already trying to clean up the American mess in Afhganistan....

More troops.

Then hopefully people will begin to see that the administration knows very well that many more troops will be going over there, and just hasn't been telling us.

Some other very interesting data in that poll, especially the pretty substantial fall for Lieberman among registered dems. I wouldn't mind seeing him continue to fade until he's out of the picture.

:eyes:

Kick the US out and bring in the UN.

The UN is worse than the Democratic party in terms of letting a wretched little man screw things up for everybody.

now lets get the hell out of there.

Those people are gonig to need to learn to defend themselves if they don't want their cities destroyed.

Don't blame us, just because we happen to be the ones who destroyed their nation.

for Chimpys lies. They should be ashamed of themselves. Right? Right!

I'll bet my last peso if only the families of the troops in Iraq were poled the numbers would be much higher,maybe 99%.
