ohh and btw good for iraq not allowing US troops with fucking immunity! That should stop.

No one should have immunity for rape, murder etc.. US tropps or any other army, people!

It offends me to think that the US "help" would be up to that simple detail and that you would go away because of that.. it's kinda bad and it shows what USA thinks of other countrys.

Oh and btw if it was up to me the 150 arms "sellers" could go away to, lots of people sell weapons..

Alright, we're gone from 1 country. Now how many more to go? I think we should be gone from all of them that aren't U.S. soil

Yeah, unfortunately this ain't going to do anything for him at the polls. Maybe if he pulled 'em out in 09...

Wondering what will happen to defense budget?


Will be increased OFC. Because we don't have to pay to ship equipment, food, and other resources across the ocean we can now afford to invest that extra money in new military technologies while keeping the same amount of armed personnel at home though we still won't protect our ports or boarders with said military personnel.

Didn't he also say he'd close down Gitmo within a year? He's had trouble keeping his promises, so I'm pessimistic that it'll happen. Would be awesome if it did though!

Edit: I just realized that more people are gonna be jobless now -_- oh boy

It already happened, unless agreements are broken.

Edit: Regarding Iraq. Guantanamo is a whole other story. And for reference: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

Hope they don't just hire more mercenaries just so they can say they pulled out their troops.

So he should have just pulled them out right away consequences be damned just because we lost the political will at home?

Starting the war was bad, pulling the rug out from under the Iraqis just because we couldn't be bothered anymore would have been worse.

On the serious note.
Would the american economy survive without the war? Weapon industry had been keeping the economy alive for the past few years.


Heh, since Canada exports 5x more oil to the US than Iraq, I'm ever dilligent in watching our borders... only a matter of time before Stephen Harper gets declared a "regime facist leader" and America invades to take out weapons of mass destruction that they've put there in the first place.

And though it's been said war is good for an economy, I suspect with the way US business is outsourced that all they were doing was lining China's pockets...
"power overwhelming"... work, dammit, work!

well no thats all they had there which is what the problem is.


Im not sure peopl etruly understand what damage people have done to iraq ... compare the literacy figures and university figures to before the war and now.

'What we sacrificed to create' is soemthing I don't understand. I don't think we have created all that much in comparison to what was destroyed.

to talk of creation out of war is a bit contradictory. All youve created is a generation of people who know the west killed their families. In 20 years time when they are blowing the fuck out of us ... remember why.

I don't think its been said that war is GOOD for an economy ... sure it drives it. The only thing war is good for is the people who make weapons.

But you are literally burning money on really expensive fireworks.

My my, it is true that the sight of Liquidian commoners leaves me with the most displeasant feeling. Not even aware of the complex links generated by Kissinger's realpolitik... shameful!

You do realize that the war in Iraq, while not 100% about finding WMD, was for more than "business" and "oil" right? If it was about oil we sure as hell wouldn't be sitting on $3+ oil prices. The war with Iraq technically never ended from when it was started in the 1990s when Iraq invaded Kuwait and we had to go in to not only kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait but also to keep the Saudi's, our allies, from getting taken over by a crazy dictator. The Gulf War never actually solved the problem that was Saddam Hussein since the coalition, mostly made up of the US, left before taking over Baghdad and chose to allow Saddam Hussein to remain in power instead of pushing for his capture. They figured he would get overthrown but instead he cracked down hard and stayed in power.

The Iraq war about putting an end to a problem that was never finished (Saddam) while using the vast political and social capita that was afforded to the Bush Administration due to the 9/11 attacks. Did they lie to everyone for the real reason we went to Iraq? Mostly yes. Did they go for mainly monetary reasons? No.

This is kind of interesting.
I mean you have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, there's talks of "the threat of Iran" and then you pull out. In starcraft terms:why break a solid contain.
Although I'm happy about it (still not sure what this war was all about), I'm having hard time imaging U.S.A changing it's political focus from "taking over the world" to taking care of it's own business, economy and people. Anytime soon at least, and there's still plenty of time until election time...

Well I guess we'll have to wait and see what the next international crisis will be.
