Should America get out of Iraq

[QUOTE="blackngold29"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="blackngold29"][QUOTE="filiwian"]They should because the situation continues to get worse and it's also affecting America's economy. The war does nothing but leave a trail of death and sadness. sSubZerOo

:| No the war is not helping our economy positively.. I don't know if you realize this but we are borrowing money from other countries to sustain this war.. The US hasn't done this for hundreds of years.. To make matters worse contractors like Haliburton and KGBR are ripping the United States government off for absurd amounts of money.

As I say again.. No it isn't.. This isn't like WW2 where it revitalized our industries in creating jobs.. Where the aftermath had basically only the United States standing their economic infastructure fully intact.. These contractors are basically ripping and funneling money out of the government and giving them huge debt.. Who do you think will be paying for that debt? The Citizens.

Exactly. The Iraq war is economically crippling for American citizens because the obscene profits are made by the weapons manfacturers and defence contractors etc. and with no substantial system for the re-distribution of wealth the average American citizen will not benefit from these ill-gotten yet crucia financial resources.

Doubt it. I honest doubt casualties will increase if the people they hate get OUT of their country. And we could have been out if we actually had a plan going in. And if Bush didn't lie his ass off and lose almost all his support by the people.

Experts have estimated if Iraq goes the way Yugoslavia did in the 90's (which is close to a sure bet, if and when we pull out pre-maturely), you are looking at casualties near 300,000. You should do a little reading.

Which one can only question of splitting Iraq into 3 seperate countries for the groups there.

I'm more concerned of it turning into a regional affair.

[QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"]In time, but not right now. It would be a logistical and strategical night mare if we pulled out now. In light of the progress the surge has made leaving now would be a very stupid idea on our part.SmashBrosLegend

Agreed entirely.

If you want to get to the bottom of the Iraq war follow the money. Profit is the dominating motive, it clearly isn't "freedom" or "democracy" or else America would be at war with half the world.

We would, but we don't have a believable excuse.
