I want to pull our troops because I don't think we are fighting the right war. Last I checked, Bin Laden was in Afghanastan (sp), not Iraq. The cost is too great to fighting the wrong war. Too many lives are being lost for the wrong reason. We needed to be going after Bin Laden with all our resources until we seen his dead body with our own eyes. I'm tired of republicans making a connection between 9/11 and Iraq. What is the connection? If there is one, let me know. If not then McCain has some explaining to do along with Bush. Is Iraq just a "step" towards actually getting Bin Lauden? or does it have nothing to do with BIn Lauden?

The war was won years ago, let the slacker Iraqi government worry about winning the peace.

More people like you and I need to demand focus be in the right place. The Republican party wants to stay the course but we've been on the WRONG course from the get go. This needs to be brought up time and time again. They throw 9/11 in our face all the time we need to throw "what happened to Afghanistan why are we in Iraq back".

These guys have created a war out of nowhere forced others to get involved so we can look like the victim then we fight back to look like the hero ah la the SURGE! We've surged the wrong country.

The real job is now done in Iraq. We should get out and stop wasting money that can be used in the USA. America should also now reclaim money spent in rebuilding Iraq, either in Oil or currency. If America doesn't, Iraq will be rich and successful on the money made by American Citizens, while America falls deeper and deeper into debt.

Al Qaeda is where the US is. If for whatever reason we attack N. Korea Al Qaeda would rear it's ugly head there too. I wonder why that is?
