But they also need to learn on their own, just like we did. I think it's ridiculous that we claim to have been helping them build their military for years yet recent claims I have heard are that their military is still in shambles. I think they should, by now, be able to stand on their own two feet. I think one of the reasons they have been reluctant to is that we are babying them far beyond teenage years (not infancy), so they act like a dead-beat roommate who does nothing for themselves. I think starting a redeployment will urge them to work for themselves and not rely so much on us. You also have to realize that they may make mistakes, everyone does, but they will learn from them just as we did in our past.
And black people were slaves for centuries. It's a good thing we didn't give up on that fight. Women couldn't vote for centuries. It's good we didn't give that one up either.
Black slavery, something that happened in THIS COUNTRY...
Women's Rights, something that happened in THIS COUNTRY...
I never said things would never be bad for a long time, but I do appreciate that you are actually thinking about THIS COUNTRY for once.
So you think we should solve all the Iraqi's problems for them... for 100 years (even if they are fighting)... forever?
My point is that they need to stand on their own, not have us potentially fight for them for 100 years.
What makes your statement a lie is when you said "fighting in Iraq..." This is the type of misquote that makes politics such an ugly, dishonest game and both sides are guilty. YOU are part of the problem, not the solution.
Seriously, don't even go there. There are 1000+ things I could go into that conservatives lie or misinform about... and that's just from this campaign (not including past ones).
Ok, McCain says that he just wants to keep troops there to "keep the peace", right? Countries in the Middle East have been fighting for centuries, what is there to say that they won't be fighting in 100 years? If that's so, under McCain troops will still be there fighting their wars. I certainly do not want that. We need to quickly get these people on their own feet and leave. If they decide that they would rather continue fighting it should be THEM NOT US fighting for them.

I mean seriously folks, is it really too hard to ask for sharks with friggin' gigavolt-multimegampere proton beams strapped to their forehead?
