I don't know about other Americans, but I want the 50,000 troops that are left in Iraq OUT OF THERE, and within a year, and NO EXCUSES. I don't care if the Iraqis go at one another on a king-size level....it should be their war now, and we should get out. Should we have gone in? No, we should not have...but the Iraqi people, especially the Shites had complained for centuries that they were oppressed and Saddam had used an iron fist toward those who opposed the government.

Everything Republicans cry that they want, we have "HAD" for the last 10 years. Including the first two years of Obama's Presidency.
