Hey we invaded Iraq.. we caused the current problem,, before we went there one minority controlled the majority with an iron first and people were too scared to rebel.. people we tortured etc..
then gun hoe USA and UK invaded ( the right thing but for the wrong reasons!!)
Now the place is in chaos and Iraq people are sttling old scores.. killing the opposite "tribes"
we caused this problem and now we have to face up to the responsibilites and keep our troops there for a long time... ( just comparing it to the length of time UK troops were in Northern ireland..)
We should not withdraww untill problem is solved...

We didn't cause the problem, first of all.



If we withdraw then we lose the war. We will be killed by the terrorists after that and look like a bunch of loser wimps.



We must finish this or be finished.

The USA and UK will never leave completely(because they need

to protect the oil fields they have all but stolen)the USA will be

erecting large military bases all over the region for this reason.

You see how many bases pop up all around the gulf and in

Afghanistan in the future.Iraq is the first so called move in

the petrowars,Iran will be next(either by covert means or

more public means(this move will be shielded by saying

Iran wants nukes and we need to stop that happening)

In 2005 Iran changed from selling oil for dollars to euros

this will make the dollar even weaker, as it did when

Saddam did it in 2000(since America invaded Iraq and

changed the regime, oil in Iraq has to be sold in dollars

again)do you see where I'm going with this,its not a

coincidence is it.ALL THESE THINGS ARE FACT SO

YOU TELL ME,IF THESE ARE FACTS AM I LYING.



This whole war is about power, oil ,big money regen

projects and most importantly who gets control over

the last oil producing countries on earth.Iraq and Iran

will be the last two countries on the planet to run out

of the black gold in around 116 years time(stats from

British petroleum not me)

Hi Rup, first you are wrong to say it was the right thing to invade Iraq, the situation in Iraq was between Saddam and his people. What ever you think of Saddam the country was being governed in a reasonable way for that part of the world. The infrastructure included for schools, hospitals, housing and things were improving, there was electricity running water ect. All the ethnic groups were kept under control and even the Christians lived side by side within the whole community. Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction and yes he put down an uprising of the Kurds using Gas. I agree with you this was not cricket but was it ok for the Americans to invade by using weapons of mass destruction and cluster bombs and other weapons that are against all humanity was it alright for the americans to put Iraqi soldiers in concentration camps and to torture and humiliate the prisoners?. Who were the ones to suffer? is collateral damage acceptable when nearly a million people from the Iraqi community have been killed due to a war that was started in its entirety by the Americans and us British and the million fatilities do not include the wounded and Iraqis walking about with lost limbs. The war was to do with oil and israeli politics, our soldiers did not enlist to fight other countries wars they enlisted to fight for Great Britain and they are not fighting for us because the British made it clear we did not want thave any part in this war. British forces must be withdrawn and the Iraqis must fight it out to get a goverment that they want and not a puppet of America and Britain we would not have that so why shoud the Iraqis. BRITISH TROOPS OUT NOW.

i've got confidence she would. She particularly has no decision in the problem. we are spending something alongside the lines of ten billion money consistent with month in Iraq. protection rigidity kit is in poor shape and workers are exhausted from repeated deployments and extentions, which has an exceedingly destructive effect on our nationwide readiness. There are different issues in the worldwide that are much extra pressing. Even wide-unfold Petraeus freely admits that there is not any protection rigidity answer. inner forces that we can not administration are making it impossible to realize our goals. i do no longer mean to intend that i think of Hillary is by some potential enlightened, yet pulling out is becomming much less a rely of decision and extra a rely of necessity. we can not sustain our operations there and proceed to shield our u . s . a . on a similar time. era.

Yes we invaded .. we should have never left in the first place as the first withdrawal only made things worse .Saddam was an evil man and i agree with him being taken out .Iraq is turning into a civil war they are fighting amongst themselves .We did not cause this problem dictarorship and ingrained belief did innocent kurds dies at the hands of a mad man and no one did anything .Ireland is a seperate issue and i doubt we will withdraw until stabilty is evident

what you gotta realise is when we invaded it was for many reasons other than to help the iraqi's ,youll never tame a country like that it doesnt matter if were there for 15 years or 2 weeks nothing will change ,other than making the situation worse ,and also now with all this medalling over decades and decades there are roughly 100,000,000 radical islamis on the surface of the planet around 10 % of islamics the minority by a long way but a huge number none the less ,there goal is to rid the world of non muslims (WE GAVE THE RADICALS THE SUPPORT THEY NEEDED THROUGH OUR ACTIONS AND IT WAS DONE ON PURPOSE).our govenments at the very tops our run by world banks ,these people in turn that own the banks are lucifarian worshippers that gather in there creepy secret societys that go back centurys ,they control our governments and they see us as cattle and cannon fodder ,by the way this is no joke .click on this link http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=786048453686176230&q=terrorstorm,watch the docu film and be informed .laters.

This is a serious problem. The Americans and British have little to Gung - Ho to say the least. Now you have on going small factions who are not just killing the troops but killing their fellow compatriots as well. I can see why no one opposed Saddam Hussian but after all he put into power by our then present leaders who financially backed to fight other parts the Middle East. What more can i say than the maelstrom was really caused by our present superpowers.

There is no winning of this war, coz that`s not possible. The U.S has put themselves in a situation, in were they are forced to keep the Iraqis in check. The minute they leave the, iraqis will revert to their old ways (sectarian violence

Stabilisation of the country will probably never occur. Due to never ending disputes between insurgents.

What a load of bo**ox !!! There is no winning and losing of war. Only what profits are made and numbers of people killed. Why do so many people allow themselves to see war as a game or competition where one side wins and the other loses. I mean how do you even judge victory ? War is about impressing you values and opinions onto that of another with a differing point of view. Stand aside. Any leader who butchers or oppresses a people should be removed and then forces pulled back. If another despots comes in do the same. Very quickly the despots and more importantly the people will stand up and refuse to let a vicious dictator or group come to power again. Remove the threat to outside countries and then allow a people to control themselves. Trust me they would very quickly learn to control themselves.

or.....



think about this. those tribes as you call them have been at war for thousands of years, with one form of dictator or another. ours is a different system, and it works for us. thiers works for them.



so why should more us and allied troops die in a country that WILL revert to its former ways, just like the rest of the region once were gone.



i think its time people who think americas nose should be up every other country's *** worry about the problems we have right here at home. gang wars in our streets, no control, poverty, pollution, homelessness. once were perfect, then we can go casting stones at the way other countries live.



also, if we werent so dependant on oil right now, do you really really think we would be there?

because the iraqi people want america out:



Poll: Iraqis out of patience

By Cesar G. Soriano and Steven Komarow,USA TODAY

BAGHDAD — Only a third of the Iraqi people now believe that the American-led occupation of their country is doing more good than harm, and a solid majority support an immediate military pullout even though they fear that could put them in greater danger, according to a new USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-04-28-poll-cover_x.htm



if americans believe in democracy, why don't they listen to the iraqi people? because typical of hypocrites, they only listen to the people when it's in line with what america wants.

The problem will never be solved........I think it is stupid to have our young men over there getting killed. FOR WHAT? What if you had a son ........would you want him over there fighting? And if the country became peaceful, it wouldn't last long. All those countries are always in turmoil.....we need to mind our own business and take care of our own people.
