You've repeatedly said you want our troops to come home. Did you think that would miraculously stop the jihad? Do you think we are fighting this war to conquer the Iraqi's?
Please.........explain to me what you think will happen if you could wave a magic wand today and all our troops were home..........what would the world look like then?
It's easy to sit back and say "bring our troops home", but I haven't seen your plan for what would happen after the fact.
Well, Kurtsprincess, just because I say I want the troops to come home, I need to devise a plan? Says who? Says you? I have not said that I want them to come home now. I like Russell Feingold's idea of giving a date certain that the troops will leave Iraq. By not having a deadline, it gives some the Iraqi soldiers no incentive to learn how to defend their own country. At this point, Kurtsprincess, I don't we are going to "win" this war and leave there with the Iraqis having a democracy. I think this will break out into civil war. I am not hoping this happens--I am saying that I believe that is what will happen.
We went into Afghanistan because they were harboring terrorists--it was appropriate to fight that war there.
I won't discuss the war on terror and how it relates to Iraq since I don't see a connection.
