President: Iraqi forces to take over by year's end

Great news if it's true. I don't mind the U.S. pulling out of Iraq, but I want it to be on their terms. The Iraqi security forces need to be properly trained and eqquipted.

Commander: UK may cut Iraq forces

Even with all the shit that's going down in Baghdad, it's nice to see that progress is at least being made in one part of the country. If the Iraqis can control the south with just a small British force, who knows, it may give a boost to the rest of the country.

Ya, and when the Korean war was over we were going to pull out and let them settle it too. We will always be there now for one simple reason... it gives us a political foot in the Middle East door. We want a presence there and now we've got it. We'll hold on there like a fat kid holding onto his piece of cake.

and THAT was exactly the reason why the US went in. NOT WMD, not a link to al-quaeda, not Saddam nor the oppression of human rights.

what do your secret sources tell ya r®?!

I know why we went in.... I've been to the White House... I know what they know. I will simply say this... There is a little truth in every lie. Everyone is right, to a certain degree. There are ALWAYS degrees of truth.
