Iraq handled like the presidency - with incompetence.

Thanks guys, you are just making me blush... but in a manly way!

And I totally agree with you. Doesn't matter if we leave, the fighting won't stop. The people don't know how to live without crime in their life. So us leaving won't stop any killing (other then American Troops of course) over there.

That is a tough question. I mean, when is it safe to pull out? I don't think it would ever be really safe for us to pull out of that country. Example, look at Korea. We have been there since the Korean War. And the North Koreans are still trying to fight the South Koreans. They want Korea to be one county, not divided into North and South. Why? Don't know, it's just the way of life.

Do I think we should setup shop there and have Camps like we do in other parts of the world? Heck no! I don't know how long this job is going to take, but as long as we are there we shouldn't get comfortable.

I just can't answer that question right now, things are just too hot over there to even speculate. As everything else in this world, it's going to get worse before it gets better.
