Poor LIBERAL YankeeFan can't answer a simple, honest question, so first she uses insults to cover up for her ignorance and then just deletes the question.

Sounds like a typical big-government socialist type.

YankeeFan posted a letter with no credit given to the author. Rightly assuming her to be the author, I asked a followup question. SHe immediately denied being the author. That was her first defense. Then she went into a tyrade of insults against me.

I want the troops to come home safe. If the job is done, as she posted, then why are they still there? A simple question. I didn't say anything against the government, the troops, or her. I just asked a question.

She claims to want to clear up misunderstanding of what is going on over there. I gave her the perfect chance, and she responded in a vicious attack. Then DaytonaFrank and Hawkeye joined in. Three big-government socialists afraid to face the truth.

If they are afraid of my little, innocent question, then they must know what they are saying is a lie.

I give you one more chance, YankeeFan, without insults and attacks, tell me:

If the Iraqi government is taking control and the electricity is back on and normal citizens are driving around in expensive cars and building expensive houses, why are we still there?

Please answer politely.  I am asking politely. You claim to be speaking for the troops.

Might have something to do with the fact that there are still extremeists out there, blowing innocent people up with thier suicide bombers, while all their victims were doing was trying to get some shopping done. A lot has been accomplished, but there's still a big job to do. The violence has to go down more before we can responsibly leave.

And don't try to tell me that the violence is going on "only because we're there".

J_Darrowin make s an excellent point, Z. Besides, we can't just "pullout" An evacuation of our troops cannot be done in a "I Dream Of Jeannie" fashion, in the blink of an eye, make them all disappear and be home. Those left to "hold the fort" would be in extreme danger, while the others were being evacuated. Meanwhile, Iraq would be overtaken by the insurgents our troops are STILL struggling with!

Good point, and that is a good answer.
I never said pull out immediately. All I said was pull out. If it takes time, that is still a pullout.
YankeeFan described a country where the government has control and people are living better than normal lives. That sounds like another "mission acomplished".
Since the President keeps changing the definition of a victory, how can we tell when it is time to come home?
Originally, we were looking for the criminals who attacked us. When we had him closed in, we suddenly abandoned that search and invaded a country that did nothing to us. Now we are losing the original targets. The Taliban are starting to take back Afghanistan with the help of the people. Al qaida is growing in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

J_Darrowin, yes, not all of the violence is caused by us being there. Much of it is, though. No matter how much someone hates their government, occupation is still not something they would agree with. Al Sadr has been enforcing a cease-fire, but we still attack his people. He has said the cease-fire will end if the Iraqi government doesn't do something to make the attacks stop.
That is why the violence is down. If we don't pull back and let the Iraqi government take over, there will be more violence and they will be a threat to us here.

I am a home-based Cruise Agent. I am a long time Libertarian from Babylon, Long Island. Got tired of the lies and dirty tricks of the Demopublicans and Republicrats. I beleive the Constitution was put in place to chain up the Federal Government. The Bill of Rights should be called the Bill of NO Rights. It clearly says what the Federal Government has NO right to do. If you ignore a part of the Constitution without an ammendment, that makes you a traitor, especially if you are an elected official. Anyone elected to the Federal Government takes an oath to Protect and Defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States, not the government, country or people. If you don't defend the Constitution, there is no United States. Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. They were written by very wise people.
