chevysoldier Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Glad to have most of our troops out. Now let's see if they can hold their own country...I'm curious as to how different the bases are now than how I remember them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew95gt Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Now if he can just get them out of that shithole called Afghanistan we would be all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod38um Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 While I like this.......... I cant help but think that Iran is ready to pounce on Iraq politically speaking and exert much if not total control. I worry that by pulling out now, it will just cost more in lives and cash by having to go back later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I think thats great, I hope all of our men and women are back very soon. I think this has all been drawn out way more than its needed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Love this but I really hope that we didn't pull out of there just to put them some place worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 How many people caught the news that leaked out of Great Britain? That some of the last troops out of Iraq diverted to the Jordan-Syrian border. Training troops and insurgents, I think. But also might have been the air controllers and equipment, setting up for air control operations at the two Jordanian military air bases.Why not, the British and French have troops there and in Turkey doing the same thing.This news is claimed to be suppressed in American news sources.

Beegreenstrings Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 dont believe everything about this. There will be boots in the sand over there for years to come... If we pulled out, it would go right back to the way it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 We have caused a total clusterfuck over there, that country and its people cannot be changed or reasoned with. We have lost too many of our soldiers and other civilians over there, spent too much money that we obviously don't have........... and all for what?

chevysoldier Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 dont believe everything about this. There will be boots in the sand over there for years to come... If we pulled out, it would go right back to the way it was.Just like every country. We have just started leaving Germany in the past 5 or so years.We have caused a total clusterfuck over there, that country and its people cannot be changed or reasoned with. We have lost too many of our soldiers and other civilians over there, spent too much money that we obviously don't have........... and all for what?They only way to change the Middle East is to change the new generations. The majority of the older people won't be changed.As for being a clusterfuck, I don't think so. Iraq held it's own elections, people can start to come out and express themselves, don't need to fear reprisals the way they used to... It's amazing to talk to some of the Iraqi's about how much better their lives are. It's an awesome feeling to know that you made someone's life better. You just don't hear about that on the liberal news.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
