4. And you probably wonder why people might accuse you of being a chronic bitcher.
The Iraq war is over, the last of the U.S. combat troops have crossed into Kwuait, yet you can't even acknowledge it.

I have no doubt you'll pull the same shit when we end Afganistan war.

2. huh? It is Code Pink, first of all...
While I'm happy we are starting the end of this debacle, the point remains that this was a horrendous, costly, illegal war and a major mistake that will cause repercussions to us for many decades to come.

So, if you are here to decry those who pressured for the end of this war, I think you are in the wrong place.

3. So, what you're saying is that insurgents will no longer be targeting ..........
US forces? How many armed "private contractors", CIA and other types of special operation forces are left behind?

Is the government as stable as the ones we left behind in Germany in Japan?

10. The only way to end it is to remove all troops ..........
combat and support, and only leave behind the Marines that are required to guard the US Embassy.

12. You're right. We need to end this fucking war. Let me know when Obama actually does this .........
and that means pulling out every last soldier with a weapon other than the few hundred that are required to protect the US Embassy.

13. and all the oil spilled in the Gulf is gone as well
and let's not forget that Iraq was a bipartisan war:



President George W. Bush along with bipartisan leaders from the House and Senate
announced the Joint Resolution to authorize the use of the United States Armed
Forces against Iraq. "The statement of support from the Congress will show to
friend and enemy alike the resolve of the United States," President Bush said
during the announcement in the Rose Garden, Wednesday, October 2, 2002.

14. Who says the war in Iraq is over?
50,000 US troops with boots on the ground. 7,000 mercenaries employed by our own State Department. All of them in Iraq.

It ain't over 'til it's over. Even Keith Olbermann said as much.

The occupation - and the illegal war - still continue.

17. Does this mean we finally get that "peace dividend" we used to hear about?
because I can think of a whole bunch of more productive uses for the money we've been wasting on endless war.
