Iraq pullout scheduled for 2006

[Psycho4Bud]

The secret British government memo, published in the Mail on Sunday newspaper and confirmed as genuine by officials, said Washington hopes to cut the U.S.-led force in Iraq from 176,000 troops to just 66,000 within a year.

It also said military leaders at the Pentagon in Washington and the regional Central Command, or Centcom, were keener to pull out than those on the ground in Iraq, suggesting discord among top American brass.

Britain, Washington's closest ally, says no firm decisions have been taken yet on any cuts and the memo refers only to one possible scenario.

"Emerging US plans assume 14 out of 18 provinces could be handed over to Iraqi control by early 2006, allowing a reduction (in allied troops) from 176,000 down to 66,000," the memo said.

Like they been stating, when Iraqi forces are able to handle the situation on their own or the Iraqi Government requests it, we WILL pull out of Iraq.

sure if that makes you feel better. near the end of the vietnam war they were seeking all sorts of "honorable" exit strategies.

I haven't heard of the Iraq war being compared to Vietnam since the elections.
Just the notion of us pulling our troops out kind of takes the wind out of the Industrial Military Complex taking over the country...doesn't it?

i enjoy the dems using the vietnam comparison,makes them look old and worn out.another reason the american people threw them out of office last year.another reason we are gonna pick up 3 or 4 more seats next year.

[pisshead]

who will 'pick up' more seats? the socialist conseratives, continuing the policies of bill clinton? no doubt. 'liberals' should love george w. bush, and it appears that you do.

im not a dem! or a liberal! im assuming youre referring to me.


i wouldnt vote for either. i'd throw my vote to nader any day. if you think two stuck up upper class assholes whove never had to work a real day in their lives and are completely detached from reality gets my vote you're sorely mistaken. i dont like bush but just because kerry hasnt ruffled my feathers with his bullshit i'd jump up and vote for him either.


and if you think hillarys' going to be getting any positive threads on my behalf youve got another thing coming.

he's too shallow to see anything beyond left and right.

he needs to get together with the people who call me a republican when i bash bill clinton. there is no left and right, it doesn't make sense. it's child's play. what's that quote from mein kampf about propaganda being directed at people so even the most simple minded can understand it, and the most intellectual can 'debate' it.

[nicholasstanko]

thanks to corporations barraging us with psp's and double sided dvd's we've become complacent and apathetic.

nothing bothers our lives so we dont give a fuck. its so two-sided. we can either vote republican and be against terrorism or we can vote democrat and be a bunch of freedom-hating cowards. it only leads to one false solution and the american people buy it hook line and sinker.

you think theyre just guessing at an attack in canada...MY home...bush and mI5 will take good care of me and my people. after the cn tower or subway system gets bombed then watch as NORAD sails across our half of the continent and sovereignty goes down the drain. of course none of the far-right here cares because who gives a fuck about canadians?

we'll just let bombings happen and let bush and martin and blair take care of us so we can get back to our xbox live.


our experience playing halo 2 isnt going to protect us from mortar shells and warheads.

And here I thought the possibility of troop withdrawl from Iraq would bring on happy time for all.....

What a wonderful world we live in!

P4b i think the misinterpretation youve made is that liberal mind-sets dont want to fight.


you think blind pullout after our asses have been shown is a good thing. IT'S NOT. i want troop withdrawal but i want peace officers put in their place. you know the same limp-wristed pussies that do nothing to stop african genocide.

That way, if insurgents start shit theyd be fighting guys that wont shoot them unless fired on.

i want a war PLAN. you know as well as i do that the dissent didnt start until AFTER war was waged and people realised we were flying blind. the people that oppose the war in majority just want a better plan to fight. NOT just jump in guard the oil reserves...prove osama right on all his accusations...lose respect internationally...and talk about pulling out when its clear that the war cant be won.


im down with plastering baby killing jihadists all over the fuckin ground. straight blastin caps in they asses. not shooting guys that just want to protect their homes from obvious imperialism.

when we have a plan...youll have my support...and a whole cache of bullets riddling all the punk ass bitches of the world.
