Be honest with yourself
I registered with a new nick-name for not influencing your choice, and to be free in your decision
--------
After three years in Iraq.
After thousands of dead and injured soldiers; and still counting.
After billions of dollars spent, not on rebuilding Iraq, but on the war itself; and still counting.
One would pause for a minute and ask oneself with complete honesty;
Shall we get out of Iraq?

Why tell us you were already a registered user? Why throw in "facts"? Do you know how much has been spent on rebuilding, or is that irrelevant to your goal? Your wording suggest nothing has been spent. Quite typical. You may pause and ask yourself that question, but I don't. The poll is flawed so pffft to you.
Here's to us!

Re: Be honest with yourself
I vote we train the Iranians to re-invade Iraq. That way we can have an invasion upon an invasion upon a dictatorship. It'll confuse the hell out of GWB who will wobble profusely and then fall straight over.

I read a really great story in New York magazine - about Howell Raines - former editor of the New York Times newspaper...
At any rate he shares a story about how he invited Bush, back in his campaingn days, to meet the editorial board, editors and the publisher...
GW shows up - and goes around the table - 25 people at least - saying something personal to each person - knowing who they were - where there kids were going to college.
What Raines subsequently found out was the GWB , despite the characterizations of him, had called a friend that he went to Yale with (who runs Chelsea Piers) and went over the list of names at the meeting that next day...
Not a simpleton at all...

Re: Be honest with yourself
It's not me either. Had it been me, I would have been able to figure out what the poll was about before I got to the third option. After reading the first two, I thought this was a poll about coding....or something. Now I understand, but I don't have an answer. I feel that the last three all have their merits

Re: Be honest with yourself
The Iraqi people have been promised peace and democracy and I don’t thing cutting and running at anytime will justify what we have done to the innocent people Iraq. Yes there is a lot of corruption within Iraq but probably about the same as you would get on Capital Hill and Parliament!

What would that matter? The Conservatives supported the war as well.

Very likely it's not even a vbf member. As System_Error said, he posted that exact same message just about everywhere. Google it to see.
