There is no considence that Iraqis gave us until 2011 to withdrawl. Thank God Obama isnt as stupid naive and just plain simple as all of you seem to be. Brandy...as someone thats actually been to Iraq....you should be as smart as our current president elect and make the arguement that its not time to pull the troops out just yet..but to wait until the iraqis are prepared to take over their own security.

We pulled our troops out because too many were getting killed, not because of any pangs of conscience. ******************************************************************************************* Get a clue, pal. The fact is we never lost a single mi8litary engagement with the North VN and that includes the Tet Offensive which was a DISASTER for the North in spite of Walter Cronkite telling all of us differently. The reason we left with our tails between our legs was because the liberals in ther Congress cut the funding for the troops and we had no choice. They were cowards then as they are now and their cowardice cost the lives of 2 MILLIONH South Vietnamese who were slaughtered by the North as they swept into the South after our leaving. As for the losses of the B-52? In TOTAL we lost 15 aircraft for the entire war while using this aircraft to bludgeon the enemy into negotiations. In fact had we not run like chickens because of the liberals, we would have secured the victory and peace. This is admitted by no one less then the leader of the entire NV forces, Gen Giap in his book. Suggest you read the book and stop making a fool of yourself in front of the world.

Osama won't have the time to do anyhting since he will be trying to figure out just what he is doing in the WH in the first place. never has a individual been so galactically unqualified for a position of power. He will have to begin campaigning IMMEDIATELY if he has any chance of re election. And even then he will AGAIN have to depend on the liberal media to cover up for him and once again bullsh*t the American people. That Zogby (a Democrat) poll said it all. Only TWP PERCENT of those voting for "The One" new ANYTUJING about him or his back round, including his scandalous associations. The terrorists are dancing in the streets because they know they have a free shot at us. Everyone knows Dems are cowards, won't fight and will make any excuse to avoid "upsetting" the savages who want us all dead. What planet are you from?
