The US will never leave Iraq. The corrupt Israeli lobby in Washington will see to that. Over sixty years since the end of World War II, the United States still has troops and bases in Germany. The US has troops and bases in over 100 countries around the world. Over a half a trillion dollars a year is spend on “defense” in this country. The US is not interested in helping people but in CONTROL, to further their corrupt agenda.

Weapons of Mass Destruction = WMS? Not sure how that works out. Sadam’s Iraq had made attempts to build nuclear weapons, and all intelligence at the time suggested he had stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons. The fact that they were not found is fortunate, not regrettable. Regardless of what weapons he may or may not have had, the Iraq we know today is almost undoubtedly a better one than the Iraq ruled by Sadam.

get the fuck out of there!!! leave that people alone.

u have destroyed one more nation, i hope u are happy now!??!

It’s clear to anyone with knowledge of world political and economic affairs that this is about power and money. Nothing more, nothing less. The essence of American, British and Western European strategy is to dis-empower peoples and countries which have raw materials and technology that threaten their dominant economic positions.

Looking back in history the Europeans colonised and enslaved sovereign nations in order to further their agenda. Nothing has changed. The spin is just a little more sophisticated, the weapons are a lot more powerful and the bribes are bigger.

To survive you need to play by the rules of the bullies. If you feel strongly about American foreign policy, stop buying their products or doing business with their companies. Do the same with the Europeans, China, Japan, Korea, Burma, Australia, New Zealand…

There’s nothing worse than a hypocrite! If you wish to make a point hit them in the pocket and arrange your life to live without their influence. Don’t just complain and do nothing.

How do you know when a politician is lying? You know when you see their lips are moving. When it doesn’t make economic sense to them they move on to something else.

Remember, every country gets the government they deserve.

when i saw that photos, i felt sad.for both side.for the people of iraq and the military troops of america.the children and women crying of whats happening to their country…and the wives of soldiers who cry for the loss of their husband…why is it happening to our world??

@Jane

Yes, those terrorists are the ones sitting in Washington and London. The USA and UK have a long history of meddling in other countries affairs.

The USA, UK and others have no right to invade a country just because they don’t their politics! If that was the case then why are you guys waiting to invade China, virtually all the African continent and most of South and Central America.

What a bunch of hypocrites!!!

Hi Jane, I’m from South Africa, way down south in a beautiful place called Cape Town.

Sure, why not. It’s john[AT]cheerful.com

soldiers go where they are sent and do what their superior officers tell them, however I don’t think it is a coincidence that so many ground forces are having mental problems because they are being asked to do stuff they should never have been asked to do

my dear, cuntry is based upon my peoples subjugation(the african american) and the virtual anihilation of the native populace which has been carried on before and after the constitution was written,so how the fuck can such a facist state,with such warped and contemptable ideals of democrcy bring about democratic change anywhere,before it embraces democracy within its own boundaries!!!!!!!

that’s just sad … so sad .. i think that US will never get out of iraq … US will never leave anyone alone .. that’s for sure ..

what kind of peace that US is calling for when it’s the one whom starts wars in diffrents part of the world ..

ei John…i sent u mail…did u read it???

The point of occupation in foreign countries of unstable or questionable balance of powers is to proactively prevent direct attacks on US soil. I am an American soldier in Baghdad, Iraq. This country has come a long long way in the years sine we have been here and I was witness to the countries first valid election.. people turned out by the thousands with more hope and conviction for their new freedom to choose than Americans do. We came to this country to prevent all of you at home from having to suffer this war on YOUR doorsteps.. if they have to suffer it on their doorsteps then that is fine with us. And this war has made a positive difference in the Iraqi culture and their sense of self, as witnessed by me and my brothers in arms. If you have not been here to see it, your opinion does not matter.

To the American Soldiers,Marines,Airforce,Navy
Thank you for your service ,sacrofice,bravary,courge
Thank you for keeping America safe and keeping me safe
for the 7 years I was there as a privite contractor.I seen
first hand your firefights,your protection your unselfish acts
of heroism Iam damn proud to have served along side the
best AMERICANS WE HAVE!!!!! God Bless each one of you!

I’m still trying to figure out how the US and Britian can exist in isolation from the rest of the world, as so many people seem to believe is possible. If we could, just leaving Iraq might make sense. I am also aware that some Iraqi’s benefitted from Saddam’s regime and would like to see the Ba’athist come back. There are people here that would gladly kill Americans and Britians. Overall, it seems to me through direct observation that these people are a small minority and most people want to live in a peaceful and stable society.

Saddam’s legacy would have been Uday and Qusy Hussien. Uday would have teenaged girls kidknapped of the streets of Baghdad so he could rape them. A compasionate man, he would have the girls killed to spare their families the shame of having to deal with the rape. Qusy preferred to feed people to the lions in his personal zoo. I can say this wasn’t a peaceful society I’d like to live in.

I wish I was so smart as many of the people commenting with such certainty on right and wrong, good and evil and the conditions here in Iraq. In the mist of it, I can’t see what these people see. Must be they have lots of fancy book learn’n.

Bullcrap Ibrahim. Under Sadam’s regime the iraqi people had no idea where or how many weapons he had hidden. I have been to these old munition cache’s buried in industrial yards etc.. AND you sure as hell did have all the pieces required to make a weapon of mass destruction, your country just hadnt gotten around to putting the pieces together yet.. because we intervened. Also, your people are not ‘buying weapons to defend themselves’ from Americans, thats a straight lie. Under the SOFA agreement (status of forces agreement) that the US agrees on and revises with the iraqi security forces, the iraqi people are not allowed possession of weapons inside city limits without a permit.. enforced by your own military and police, so you are right – you don’t have weapons. You dont have them anymore that is. The US military has liberated your country from unwarranted murder and control by a tyrant, ran your country for you long enough for *us* to rebuild *your* security forces, and have now handed over full control of your country to your own military and police. We have done our job, thats why we’re pulling out. If you want peace now it is on your own shoulders to prove it.

You have your stats wrong and your claiming you know what the problem is? That 1,000,000 casualties your referring to is civilian casualties estimated by 1 (one), thats 1 with no zeros, report compared to the dozens of others, including surveys done by the iraqi’s themselves, that estimate much much less – between 100,000 and 500,000. Specifically that total (its actually 1.2 million with a error of +/- 2.5%) is attributed to the Opinion Research Business survey, which includes ALL deaths – violent, nonviolent, enemy, coalition, american, caused by action due to coalition AND INSURGENT military action, sectarian violence, criminal violence, lawlessness, degraded infrastructure, poorer health care, etc. Moral of the story? Know what your talking about before you open your damn mouth. You think you know what the ‘problem’ is? Did you even read the survey you decided to vomit up on this page like you knew what you were talking about? Have you been to Iraq to see the changes? People like you.. sitting in your little house with your little idea about what you think is going on and the little bit of courage you can muster up to bash people that sacrifice for you when you have *no* idea how things really are.. people like you are the problem. destroyed a whole country? we built this place from the ground up to what it is today. killing innocents? my platoon has not fired a single shot in 280 days here. know what your talking about or shut your mouth.

AMERICA THE LAND OF THE PUSSIES.

Dropping bombs from the sky and killing innocent lives is nothing more than a cowardice terrorism act. Feeding the masses false information through the media like CNN, Fox etc is nothing more than a propaganda.

Go Fuck yourself AmeriKKKans!!!

So that’s all you guys have? You were presented with valid arguments on why the US Military has acted the way it does – educated on the actual results of search for WMD’s, casualty rates of the war, the crimes of sadam’s regime – and all you have to throw back is ‘f#$k amerrica!! lolz’? I guess we shouldn’t be ‘helping’ with Pakistan’s flooding situation either? Your pathetic.

Most of those images are very touchy..

Hooah.

Another whitless idiot. What are you 10, 12 years old?

yeah yeah yeah.

iraq wan to bomb all over US? bullcrap. On Internet you can say whatever you want, claim whoever you are. Like combatmedic, US troop in iraq? meh. Im an alien from the 6th dimension. You have no way to prove im not

yes amerikkka, im a us soldier deployed to iraq. just finished my mid tour leave in lovely orlando florida. i am a specialist field medic based out of Ft Stewart, GA attached to 3rd ID 1st brigade combat team, 5/7 cavalry. I would invite you to look me up, however, seeing as i dont know who you are im not taking the risk of exposing my unit information to a terrorist. Right now im sitting in the Atlanta, GA USO waiting on my flight back to baghdad iraq. I said goodbye yet again to my wife less than 2 hours ago and im really hoping i get to see her again. I really do not care about you or what you think of me or the war, the fact is we are doing what we deem best for our families and for the freedom of our citizens, and not you or anyone else can stop me or my bothers in arms. as long as the fighting is not on american soil, it doesnt matter if we win or loose.. we’ve still done our jobs.

I agree with your comment totally, thanks
