I wish they could all come home today
Withdraw all miltary personnel and equipment.
Spend the trillions earmarked for continuing conflict on building hospitals, schools and roads.
Anyone who thinks what we've done was a good idea is clearly not thinking at all.
I'd say let's support the troops by parachuting George W. Bush and Dick Cheney into Sadr City, so they can provide some hands-on leadership.
The time for smarter decisions was four years ago, now we have to straighten out what we've made or go on paying for it for decades.. wait, that's what we'll be doing either way, isn't it?
I hope "taking the fight to them", turning Iraq into a war zone/training ground is really making us safer.

IMO, we stand with what we have on theground there, we do what we've been *saying* we were going to do (train Iraqi forces to take up the duty of policing their homeland, yet undone because our Guv'mint doesn't trust the Iraqi regime in place (because said regime isn't willing to bend over and let Uncle Sam do the driving)), ancd then, if we *must* continue the War on Terror (reg, TM, copy), we use the *actual* intel to find the *actual* terroroists, *not* the *invented* intel.
Non-sensical ravings...
Apologies to Messrs. Brooks and Wilder for non-contextual appropriation of the line.
Give the "surge" a chance. We owe that to our troops. If it fails, as seems likely, bring them home and impeach Bush and Cheney.
widehead, the problem is, that simply buidling schools, hospitals and roads, contractors often find themselves attacked, they would need soldiers to protect them from insurgents. Besides, they can't just withdraw all troops like that.

Voted : Withdraw money and troops
But do so gradually, as opposed to an abrupt cut and run.
The Spammer strikes again...
