I for one would love to have all American soldiers back on home soil safe and sound but this is what they chose to do. I applaud and admire them and their families for the sacrficies they endure.
If anyone thinks that bringing the troops home in one fell swoop or a quick pull out back to the USA within a year or two is a good idea, think agian. Our current combatents, the insurgents, which are radical fundamentalists, are consumed for the most part in dealing with our and the emerging Iraqi troops and police which are growing in numbers and are being better trained for their future roles as peace keepers along with a more tried and dedictated central government.
They, the insurgents, are dealing with the threats on their own soil for now rather than threatening us directly for the most part.
If you think you are paying top dollar for gas now, Imagine if we were to pull out and leave the extremists to their own devices and they attack Kuwait or Saudi oil fields? Guess what you will be paying for gas assuming if you could find any at all. You think our economy is on the down turn now?
If you want either democrat in the White House, you may see the troops come home soon with the delight of many but don't be surprised if you see attacks at home surpassing 911 and the prices of gas, food and every commodity dependent on fuel to escalate to the point that the average person can't afford it.
