Thanks, does anyone have claims to these lands? Because I doubt even if we helped Ireland they'd let us jump in willy nilly. You know I actually don't care about this, it really is irrelevant to what's going on in Iraq regardless of what comes of it.

If Ireland became its own country, the fields would be in their waters.

They'd probably revolt, which would've been the best answer to their problem if the US hadn't stuck their nose where it didn't belong. Tons of nations have ruled the way they did and tons still do. Why haven't we done something about them? We should really pull out, we're just continuing to lost more credibility and more money. I mean I know its way way way way way too late and continues to get later at least we can show we're not a bunch of stubborn idiots. Thousands of soldiers dying because all because one man is too proud to admit he made a giant mistake. Even if we do launch a democracy there like our supposed plan was do you think Iraq is going to be thanking for killing as many of them as we did?
I don't even think we even plan to pull out, I realize Obama and Clinton are running around saying they're so opposed to the Iraq war and they're going to pull us out but Obama also said "All options are on the table for Iran" didn't he? They're not very anti-war at all Hillary was all for it until it became popular to be against it, so with typical democratic loyalty she bent over and switched sides, she'd even helped fund it. If we're so interested in pulling out someday why are we basically constructing the biggest foreign embassy in the world right in Baghdad? The War Against Terror is a complete lie and front for our government's own sick needs.
Oh and tkpb938 since you're concerned about our national debt I have a question for you. Do you think Bush, Rove and Cheney are losing much money from this or the good ole' tax payers of Americas are? This is just the UK's Arab Facade all over again.

We have already been thanked for stepping in. You see on the news that Iraqi's are against us being there. Have you met any? I have, and I have been thanked for our actions there. I have not been to Iraq, please don't think I am saying that.
If you read about the situation that I started this thread about, you would know that a revolt is what cost 5000 civilians their lives in an hour. A few civilians attempted to revolt against the government, and thousands died because of it. Much the same as Russia under Stalin, those who were even thought to oppose the government were executed. There were other reasons for going to war, but the biggest reason I support the decision is because of Halabja. I would support a war against any genocidal government.
