Good point, but they don't give a timeframe. Only Kucinich is actually saying he'll bring them home as a first act. None of them will do it until it is right to do so. Hell, they're lying about everything else anyway, right?

It would be a great thing.History in that area has proven that invaders do not hold on to the country or area that long.England was the last to loose control and the US has already lost control.The only reason they are still their is to secure the oil interests for private oil companies.If they want to secure the oil they should have their own private forces,for why should soldiers die ao account of them. It is a tribal area and people only know this way.The best is to pull all the troops out and close down the embassy.Anyway the country belongs to Iraq and by staying their rights as citizens are being taken away.Why should only American interests be considered?

Right now all we're doing is positive PR for terrorist organizations: "Look at the ugly invading U.S. Crusaders, they're here to rape your women AND your men, and kill your children." We give out money to independent contractors who have to turn around and hand most of it to the insurgency to allow the contractors to do what little work they can do. Of those contractors only a handful do any work at all, and of those only a handful do quality work. The quality work that is done by contractors who care about their work is so frequently destroyed by the insurgency that the good contractors might as well have done nothing at all. Finally, in so many regions basic services (such as water treatment plants and sewer systems), largely invisible to the press, have been ignored in favor of photo-op moments like rebuilding schools. This results in kids going to new schools but without clean water and with raw sewage in the streets. The Iraqi dam above Mosul has been ignored by all the contractors we paid $8 million [[EDIT: Sorry, $27 million [EDIT]] to work on it, which has created an unstable dam that will break soon and cause destruction on the level of Katrina in New Orleans. I doubt the children in the new schools below the dam will appreciate getting a new school by having to lose both the school and their homes from the dam breaking. We should leave because the Iraqis will gain more by our departure than what little they gain by our presence.

It's not a good thing.
