Just how long did you want us to stay? Forever?
Think of it this way, Obama gets to promise to leave Iraq AGAIN! It worked very well and helped get him elected the first time. The Dems now need a boost and what better claim can they have than to AGAIN leave Iraq if elected.

That's pretty good. Hadn't heard that one before.
Lives are a sunk cost? Nice... And i have heard it before but not when talking about human lives.

Lives are part of the cost...That's for sure.

And that's not a good reason to keep sinking lives into it.

Go put your life on the line.

You got it backwards like usual. I was talking about the christian and other minorities lives that will be gone if we dont stop the genocide in iraq. But you lefties dont care about that at all. All you think about is the short term picture not the long term which is after isis kills christians there they will work their way over to here. Maybe not in a few yrs but soon enough. I care about all human innocent life. Even yours.

That doesnt make sense. You either care or dont. This isnt like saying i like cheese sticks but not enough to buy them. You either care that these people will be killed and stop it or you dont care if they get killed. Because no one else will come to thier aid. We signed a treaty after ww2 to stop genicide. This is genicide! We must stop it.

Lets make it real my fellow detroiter!

Lets say a group of dearborn muslems decided to make dearborn and lets say detroit from 6mile rd and north to 8mile rd a muslem city. No blacks, jews, or whites allowed. You either leave, pay a tax to them, convert (if you are chaldean) or die. Would you be ok with that?

What about the lives of Armicans who are in more danger now that we've invaded and occupied soverign nations which has nothing to do with protecting our borders.

So when is mike0618 going to the Middle East since he cares so much? Or is it you care as long as you don't have to go. Let others die for your beliefs mentality.
