The Democratic message for the Iraqi people.

When the Democrats are elected, the money will stop coming, in six months, and there will have to be elections in Iraq. We propose that the people vote on whether they want the occupation by American troops to continue, if there is no money coming to the sheiks and tribal leaders? The Iraqi people are not poor. They have oil. Let them decide what they want to do with it.

2. Great Idea!

Let´s show the people of Iraq how to have an efficient and effective election, so that their voices can be heard, we are truly exemplary and they will be thankful for our sound advice.

Since the population of the United States doesn´t have anything to say about the occupation, at least we should let the population of Iraq decide.

3. Thanks Angela...

Also, the Democrats should state this before the general election, so there is no doubt whatsoever what the American people are voting for. This will help to disarm the Republican attacks that are sure to come once the surge is over and the mess is left in the lap of the Democrats.

4. Will the Dems stop the privatization of oil? The permanent bases??

Kucinich is the only one telling the whole truth about Iraq, I do not trust the others to do what is right for the Iraqis.

The Iraqis do not want our 'help'- they want us to get the hell out, ALL of US!

We could do a lot toward recovering our economy if the next president holds the war profiteers accountable and finds our missing and stolen billions.
