all the president said in that speech is that we have to stay in iraq because we are afraid to come out of iraq. every fear mongering situation that he came up with is HIS fault, and he should be hung in public for putting this nation in the dilema we are in. he stood at that podium and told the world how bad he has fucked things up and what tremendous danger he has put us all in and then told us that we have to stay because we are afraid to leave. EVERY republican better go sign up TONIGHT and fight for what ONLY you believe in. if you voted for this clown you owe it to the entire nation...and the rest of the world to go help solve the nightmare you have gotten us into. it is not fair that people are dying every day because of you and your beliefs when you dont have what it takes to fight for your agenda yourselves. didnt george bush get 62,040,610 votes in 2004? why should we have to cut back troops when so many people are so thrilled by the idea of war? shameful. shameful. shameful. i would think an army of 62,040,610 couldprovide enough breathing room for the iraqi government wouldnt you?

you will never have iraq as an ally. maybe the ruling gov't that we eventually install will be friendly to us and work with us. but i do not think for one second that for all of those hundreds of thousands up to one million iraqis that we have killed, whatever the number, will their families and descendents ever forgive our country? will they ever respect us? i doubt it. they will wish death on every single one of us and our descendents.

i am really fearful that the war on terror will become a generational thing, passed down from father to son, to his father to son etc..

Turn that entire scenario around and think of Iraq being the United States. Would we have respect towards the country of Iraq killing a proportional amount of people here in the United States? Yes I would pass my disgust towards Iraq unto my children or they might just see it and feel it for themselves what was happening to their country.

Also I'm sure the US would want Iraq to implement an Iraqi President to rule over this country. Talk about puppet leadership would we be comfortable with another country Iraq choosing our leaders implementing rules and laws that benefit an occupying country the US?

This is something I could never live with, neither should the people of Iraq.

Bush is on TV in America, if anyone cares.

I watched it...pretty much the same ol' thing...

I do find it interesting that he and other war supporters "know" what will happen "if we leave"....yet they have no clue how long this will last, or how to end it, or even how to define it...

I liked how he lowered the bar again...saying we'll come home when we see "success"...I wonder, who defines "success"....?
