    Default PRIVATE POLL: Question; Do You Think We Should Get Out Of Iraq, Or Stay There?

    I know my opinion about getting out of Iraq is not a popular one among my conservative friends here on the board. But I've recently read more than one article where polls are cited that say people by majority want us out of Iraq, both democrat and republican alike. So, I thought I'd poll the board here. But I'm going to keep the who voted how private, so you can vote how you feel without worrying about being found out. Please vote the truth.

    The question is going to be this... do you believe we should begin pulling our troops out of Iraq immediately, until they're all home, or do you believe we should stay there, never to leave, in an open ended commitment? In more simple terms, should we stay or should we go? I know there's some qualifying people want to do, like saying, "we should stay until the job is done." Well then you would vote we stay, because as of right now, you don't think the job is done. If you think we've already achieved what we went there to do, then you would vote we leave. Discussion will be welcome, but how someone voted will remain private. So again, please vote how you truly feel. Not the popular opinion.

    Sorry bout that,

    1. I think we stay, and keep an eye on leaving, when things are stable enough for them to stand on their own feet.
    2. If we leave before they can have a viable government, that governs all the people, whether they are this kind of Muslim or that kind, we don't really care about all the differences.
    3. But seeing they are all three or four in a spiraling death grip on each other, we have to have it in consideration.
    4. Otherwise we fail along side of their failures.
    5. When their failures effect themselves in rebuilding their Nation, because they can't forgive their differences, it seeps down to the USA and our effort to start something good for them.
    6. If they can't get to the root of the problem, their own hatreds of each other, how can they ever work together as *ONE NATION*?
    7. Islam is an overly hateful religion, that all in all would better off being banned from the human race, for everyone's benefit.
    8. Even their own, Islam is killing them as human beings, and they in-turn are killing others who don't follow Islam.
    9. Islam is a crime against humanity.
    10. *Their hands are all stained with blood, and nothing good is under the sun and or will ever come from Islam.*

    Our job is finished now, so we should leave. What happens in Iraq is the responsibility of the Iraqis.

    1. Thats the nature of comedy.
    2. And human nature like wanting to see dead bodies when driving up on a car crash on the freeway in America, or any place on earth.
    3. I lol at my self from time to time, but what was said wasn't funny, it was a personal attack.
    4. And wasn't even original.
    5. I condemn gabo~obnoxious for doing it.

    I agree Jeff. Our job is done. We have no more good reason to be there. Let the chips fall where they may, and get the hell otta there. We've been there far too long as it is, not to mention we shouldn't have gone in there in the first place. And it looks as though the majority of Americans believe as we do too, like 54%.

    He's a sorry ass,

    1. Yup, that was funny.
    2. Someday he'll post in complete thoughts.
    3. I'd rep her, but I need to spread it around.

    I haven't voted. I don't really like the choices.

    However, I think the generals should decide.

    I don't give a shit if people know what I think about pulling out or staying.

    We ALREADY are pulling out, and I agree with the current strategy. A phased, well planned withdraw is the best policy.

    I did like Mr. P's final solution though.
    If ya can't prove it, don't say it.
