The Iraqi's have made an agreement that the US troops should be out by the end of 2011. You are deluding yourself if you think every soldier will be out of Iraq by then. Combat troops, sure, but there will always be a US contingent in Iraq. Just like Germany, Just like Korea, just like everywhere else we go. We like to have bases allllll over the world. It helps when little situations come up. Easier to keep the hardware close to the trouble spots.

Democracy doesn't mean you always get what you want. Haven't you figured that out yet? I wanted someone to lead the country that cared more for the country and less for politics as usual. I got to choose between McCain and Obama. Damn.. maybe next time.



gunned down by US troops? Doubt that. Unless they were shooting at the soldier's first, I have a hard time with that one. Link away though. There's truth to everything you can find on the internet, right?



1- the judges in the case were Iraqis, not US. They made the decision on the case. Their country, their law, their choice.

2- I don't think Saddam should have been tried. I think he should have been shot when they found him. I think his trial was intended to show the Iraqis that even he would get better than he offered when he was the leader. Was there really any question that he was going to die once he was found? I mean seriously. Everything he was tried for was basically war crimes and genocide. You usually don't walk away from those types of charges...... kangaroo court or not.

All you are saying is a fair trial I guess? The outcome would have been the same. He did some horrendously bad things. He deserved the ultimate punishment they had under their law. Plain and simple.



Farce.... depends on who you talk to. Depends on what you are fed. Depends on what you believe.

As I said in a previous post, there are two sides to every story, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. You believe the left, others believe the right. I find myself in the middle of it all.
