We do need to stay in Iraq unfortunately...and Rove is a puke coward

[CollegeDNC]

This isn't a popular idea, but as a 25 year old proud former Marine and Democrat, I believe people like Al Franken are right about the fact that we can't cut and run in Iraq. First off, if we do Iraq will almost certainly descend into civil war and thousands of innocents will die. Second, Iraq will become what Afghanistan was before 9/11, and Al Qaida scum will use it as a new base to launch terrorist operations all over the world and certainly here in the US.

Look, Bush is a rich boy wussy who got us into a war and has allowed our soldiers to die for his own personal ideology, but unfortunately because so many Americans were foolish enough to vote for him TWICE, we are now where we are. I only wish that we could send puke cowards like that fat pun k Karl Rove and the even more obese and disgusting Dick Cheney, out to Iraq for just 1 week of combat and see how fun they think it is.

Either they would both get killed, or they would survive due to the fact that they would be in a constant state of hiding and soiling themselves, either way they might actually learn what war is REALLY like.
Unfortunately this won't happen after all, like most Republicans when given the chance to fight for this country decided to puss out and get deferment after deferment. Rove is a puke, pure and simple.

2. No We Don't

The Civil War in Iraq has already started and thousands of innocents have died. Also, it's not only Al Qaida that is fighting against US Occupation forces, there are also Iraqs who are fighting for their country, most experts have already stated that what was
Al Qaida no longer exists, it has become a Hydra, a creature with many heads which can now be found in many different countries.

You say we need to stay, but you don't offer any ideas on how to pay for this adventure in futility, you don't offer an idea on how we provide for the broken warriors, both physically and psychologically.

I have just two questions for you, how do you convince someone to die for something based on a lie, and how do you convince their families that they died for a good cause, when that cause has no basis in honor.

3. All that will be proven eventually is that as the modern world

encroaches on fundamentalist societies, terrorists are going to be a fact of life. We want their oil and trade, we're going to pay for it.

Fighting terrorists with the military will be fruitless.
