They say we would lose if we pull the troops out
What would we lose? The neocons would lose tremendous face but the USA would lose nothing. Our military accomplished every goal set out for them. We made sure there were no WMDs to be used against America and we eliminated Saddam who was "supposedly" a threat to America. We accomplished our goal. We lose absolutely nothing if we bring our troops home now and let Iraq police itself..We gain much..The appreciation of the world and possibly even a small bit of respect for doing so. We gain the money thrown away on killing women and children in Iraq and can use it for women and children here in America that need health care or other necessities.

1. And likewise what would we win?
And who will step forward and surrender? And surrender what? Oh the lunatic pro life conservative bastards will lose face at being totally fucking wrong to the tune of millions of lives but it is time to put the adults in charge and put an end to our involvement.

2. What happens in Washington and Iraq does not determine whether
those lives will have been wasted.

What determines whether those lives are wasted or not is if the People were to forget.

I, for one, will NEVER forget. Therefore, their lives are not wasted.

4. The question should be will we win by staying?
When will we win? We have been in Iraq for over 4 years and we still haven't won!

5. And don't forget the 3 or 4 trillion dollars spent so far
If we don't "win" it will have been wasted.

China must be loving us more than ever. Dubya is the best thing that ever happened to them.

6. Bush is a loser and I don't claim him. So I've lost NOTHING.
We can only regain the world's respect if we stop this war and return to decades and hopefully century's of peace.

Peace is a winner!

11. We took out Saddam so we won that. We are not going to
get the people to love us. This is not the second world war where we went with many others to aid countries that had been invaded. We are the ones doing the invading of another country. That means something
