If we pull out of Iraq and bring our troops home Iraq would be taken over by either Iran, Al Queda, Taliban or a combination of all three. All three are terrorists organizations and would love to control Iraq. It would become a safe haven for terrorists and become a base of operations for terrorist attacts against you, me, our children and our grandchildren.

If we leave now we will never go back. No President would ever be willing to stick their neck out and put troops back in and have a military presence in that country again. (just what the terrorists want)

We will NEVER win the war against terrorists! We will always have young men and women die in an effort to guard our families and our homeland. The best we can ever hope for is to hold the enemy at bay, maybe just long enough to find out where they plan on attacking us next and hopefully, just hopefully, stop another 9/11.

Very good post Mike. I would agree. As long as we lead our way of life (and there is nothing wrong with that despite what some of the Dems will tell you) there will be people that don't like the way we live (see..Islamic fundamentalists) and want to hurt us. Like I tried to explain to JW (probably to no avail) that either we have SOLDIERS making the sacrifice or we sacrifice our women and children again like 9/11. I will pick the soldiers 10 times out of 10. I guess JW see's it another way.
