I had another posting on another site before I saw this. It's about time!!! anyone who thinks it is against our soldiers is just nuts - We want to save our soldiers from dying for nothing - If we don't stop this insanity there will be another wall covered with the names of the lost & children touching the names of their dead parents who died for Bush Cheney & co. Iraq is a civil war - not political in Iraq itself - let them kill each other without our soldiers being their cannon fodder

There have been many protests, very little media coverage. The corporate takeover of OUR government won't allow the news to get out. BELIEVE IT.

Just a reminder....Neville Chamberlain was the British prime minister that announce that he had achieved "Peace in our time" by negotiating with Adolph Hitler. He had the best of intentions but millions of people were killed. Having not learned this lesson, I can only assume that these protesters are committing a treason against this country.

I guess there were no Republicans in the demonstrations. Those are the warmongers who want to continue the occupation of Iraq amidst widespread humanitarian and refugee crisis.
For all practical purposes, more than half of Iraq has already been bombed out of existence.
Hope we will see and end to this crisis on 1/20/2009.

This is the war started by the Zionofascist under the Born again Christian leader George W Bush to steal oil and to protect Israel and it will not end unless this war is redirected against the Zionists and the Neocons. This war is going to bleed the world to death.

When we pull out, the Turks will drop out of NATO and take the oilfields in northern Iraq while chasing down the PKK. The Iranians will take the oilfields in southern Iraq, test an atomic weapon in the Iraqi desert and test long range delivery systems into the Indian Ocean... it's only a matter of time... maybe 5 years at the outside... but, so what if it is 10?
I would also submit that the same general sequence would have followed had we left it alone and those players had become convinced that Saddam was bluffing with WMDs.
I'll leave it to your imagination what will follow... I can assure you, it won't be good... to the point that it will make what is going on in Iraq now look like a Sunday School picnic.
War is hell. Always has been and always will be. The key is to avoid the inferno.

But we HAVE left the Iraqi people to fend off outsiders, and the outsiders are US!!! The funny thing is you know it too. Without missing a beat you then go on to say "WE DO NOT BELONG THERE." I can see you're having some perceptual/conceptual issues here.

Hey Sniper. We have our difference and really dont like each other but, I have to agree with you on that one. Regardless of how you feel wether this war is justified or not, we are stuck their for a time being. We sturred things up in the middle east really bad, and to just walk away would be foolish. I support any action that can efficiently bring this occupation to a end, so therefore I support the protestors, hopefully they will pressure our leaders to do that, and our soldiers who have sacrifices themselves for this war, regardless if it is right or wrong.

It's amazing how the right wingers can ravage a country (600,000 dead, 4 million refuges) and still claim the moral high ground. And all they have to do is call anyone who disagrees "liberals". The policies that they call liberal in the U.S. are exactly what they are pursuing in Iraq, under the guise of nation building. Nation building was always bad to them until now. I guess it's ok if you add a some bombing, killing and torture.

it would seem the stategy is finally having an effect.
those on far left are equivilent to islamo-facists
in their fervor.
congress dems, & politicos would end it because any
victory now would help republicans.
nobody wants war. to pull out would be madness.
bush messed up. (as he did w/the borders).
but we have to do the right thing in iraq.
i support the troops. this war will be generations induration. without unity the us will fall.

The sooner the misguided idealogy that was the 60's fades into obscurity the better it will be for the world.
The U.S. would not be in Iraq if Sadaam had simply
1. Not tried to "save face" by killing the Kurds in the north
2. Not tried to "save face" by doing the same to the Shia in the south
3. Demonstrated the disposal of the Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear weapons he posessed.

And the US would not be in Iraq today if Bush and his cronies had not lied about the "weapons of mass destruction" that they all knew did not exist.

This war is all about oil theres no two ways about it . If Iraqs main product was bananas we would not be there.Additionally oil or petroleum is a finite resource once its gone its gone and we will have to find some renewable resource to replace it .Why wait why arent we spending even just a small fraction of what this "war" is costing on finding and developing more efficient ways of producing renewable fuels ?
