get out now and there will be a void, the void will fill quickly with Iran, Talaban and Al Quida, they then use Iraq as a giant training base, a center for terrorist to prepare to attack USA, Europe and Australia. Also other undesirables would be invited in such as Russia, China, Chavez, etc. This would open up the whole middle east to radical islam, the entire area would become a threat. countries in the area that are now western friendly would be over run by islamic radicals.Iraq would be a slaughter house thousands maybe millions of innocent people would be killed. the world oil supply would be in jeapordy..
we cant get out now, we have to get that country under control, get the Iraq goverment and military in total buildup,control and confidence, then we can go. We leave there now and all hell will break loose, we leave now and there will never be another opportunity for the people of the middle east to be free.

Not time to leave yet. I have been in the military for almost 10yrs now. I am currently in Afghanistan... With what I have seen here, we can not turn our backs. Not everyone is a bad guy and the areas that we have people at are happy we are there and driving away the Taliban. I think it would be a bad idea if anyone decided to cut and run. There are explosive devices all over the country and they need to be taken out too.... In May, the day before mothers day, I was in a vehicle that went over an IED (Improvised Explosive Device). Thankfully, I only got a few scratches and the worst injury was a broken collar bone. I have had Mortars, and Rockets shot at a few areas that I was at. And Still, for 4th of July I re-enlisted to stay in the military. There is still a lot of work to be done here and in Iraq.

God Bless America!

In My Military Time(Vietnam) we constantly were barraged with them saying "If we pull out Now, The Domino Theory will occur and Asia will to the Communists" Reality of what really happened --Communism fell,,,,so I don't buy that Line if we get out now they will follow us here. 9/11 happened and we weren't even there yet,,,By Election 2008 we will have some of our (how many, who knows?) Boys(and girls) Home,,,

This is a tough issue guys . I admit that I will have to side with Mike & Joe . After 25 years in the Military from Nam to the Pentagon I have seen a lot ( not all ) .. Smart money tells me to keep " My Guys " out of the middle East ( for any reason ) .. No reason to be there in the first place .

And let me just say that I respect differing opinions ! .. I guess I just saw to much at a bunch of different levels ( Govt. ) !

MM the domino effect did happen in SE asia, the commies took vietnam and killed millions, it effected the whole are forever. we leave the middle east now and that whole are will become Iranian Sheites, the whole region will be in control of oil and the whole area will be threatening the US and Europe.

Actually, the killing fields in Cambodia were stopped when the Communist Vietnamese defeated the Khmer Rouge. But, point well taken - if and when the US leaves a job undone, there is a vacuum, and usually it is a real bad guy who fills that vacuum. We need to finish in Iraq before we get out. Anything else is foolish, and will lead to worse human suffering.

I think it is time the USA reconsiders its policies in more general terms. In Afghanistan as well as in Iraq the former governments where US-allies, Saddam as well as the islamist Mujahedin who fought the russians.

Maybe the USA shouldn´t support any dictator as long as this serves US Interest (on the short run), so they wouldn´t have to clean up the mess they cooked for themselves.

I've seen recently that the govt is talking about pulling out of Iraq yet not much is mentioned about Afghanistan anymore. Either way, it's not a good idea, still lots of work to be done.
