I read all the threads and links with due diligence! You just cannot dispute the facts and learning where to get them is very enlightening! Bet we get more facts and truths here than any source I have (well, that I know how to use well).

I cannot support wreckless abandonment, but it sounds good at times. To think, the civilians and others, left behind in Iraq and how many troops that will take. I am not sure, what will it take! Can't we have Haliburton pay for them! Oops! they are having trouble with the service they have hired to take care of their own! I just have no answers!

I feel we have done a terrible thing to that country, yet I think on a much smaller scale than a President would! Plus, a more compassionate one. In the big scheme of things, if we used 'weapons of mass destruction' as a basis for war, we could do it anywhere. It seems the U.N. let us down and a 'small thinker' took Texas justice to fix the Iraq situation. So, we now know, that hasn't fixed anything and we do have a responsibility to put the country back in the state of function it was in, prior to war. But, I read and hear conflicting statements from the actual citizens of Iraqthat stayed. Like katrina, a lot are still displaced!

I really wish they had some sort of fair panel of Iraqi's, from all walks of life form a unified type of Congress to give feedback of what is being done to their country and how they feel about it!

What did we do in Viet Nam when we left? I do not seem to remember. I don't think I've heard much talk about it! We were so happy to have our soldiers home.

There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, cause we stayed there and made sure there was mass destruction of Iraq! When the mission was done, we should have been finished, then! Hindsight, 20/20!

I admire getting this information: to know where Obama was when the vote went down! I wondered where the heck he was, without any vote! I feel that is cowardly! He was not a good choice compared to all the brilliant choice's we had to choose from. Not every choice was perfect, but that is life. We have the one that was a little more popular than another. As opposed to: Which of all candidates was the best! I learned, I do not like a super delegate deciding! I wonder if the results would have been different, if the super-delegates got together and picked the best Democrat of all the candidates,if we would have had a better choice or even a different one! It came down to money vs. money and a choice and popularity. Like High School!

This coming election is very important and I have no clue who I will vote for and wonder, will it make a difference? I do hope to continue to become more enlightened through these threads! Thanks for voicing yours, I admire you that have the courage to state how you feel and what you believe! No one is wrong! pr:thumbsup:

We don't even know if our press is being allowed to give us all the facts of this 'war' to make good decisions with. From begining and all the way through it! And that ticks me more than anything!
