What should we do in Iraq?
Every day politicians, pundits and pollsters debate the course of action to take in Iraq. Have you thought about it? What do you think should be done?
By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer
Posted Nov. 12, 2007 – This weekend I received a brochure from my representative in Congress, freshman Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) The tri-fold, red, white and blue document was a Veteran’s Day tribute to the men and women in uniform who have served our country.
In bold letters, a quote from Sarbanes reads, “We must honor the sacrifice of our Veterans. Always.”
The intent of the brochure was clear. Sarbanes wants to reach out to his constituents and use the opportunity to get feedback. The mailing talked about helping Veterans cut red tape when accessing healthcare and opening communications with vets to improve support services when they return home. But the part that caught my eye was the questionnaire in the tri-fold that asked about the war in Iraq.
The question laid out options in very clear and easy language for folks to understand. I plan to answer the question and send it in, but for those of you don’t live in Sarbanes’ district, I thought I would share his question and the choice of answers:
“Recent reports have underscored a number of options for a new direction in Iraq. I want to hear what you think is the safest and most effective approach for changing course.
1. Immediate withdrawal
2. Withdraw within six months
3. Year-long phased withdrawal
4. Relocate American troops elsewhere in the region
5. Partial withdrawal with an open-ended troop presence
6. Open-ended commitment”
These are the options. Let me know what you think?

Bush is always saying “GOD BLESS America”!
Well the only way that is going to happen is when we stop trying to be a greater God and use man made technology and bring soldiers back-yesterday!
We have the computers, electronics that can bring them home. Use the same coppers for tsunami, Katatrina boats, private and public planes and boats to get the soldiers back here and if it is all about not letting anyone else in the borders of America then that means no more import/exportation or tourism until we can get a resolve that is for the betterment of the Universe. True the bible has a predestination of the fall of man but as humans we have the blessing of choice and we have to treat each other the way an individuals wants to be treated deep inside. That secret place in our being that is the real truth about ourself. All involved parties are going against Christianity,Confuscialism, Judaism, and Islamic belief,etc. GOD is somewhere trying to keep from wiping good people out from the bad people. Stop this killing ya’ll we have been killing for centuries. Can’t ya’ll see. .. we all losing! If we stop fighting long enough we will see that this is as close to paradise us sinners is gonna get and be glad you got to see it touch it rebuild it. Use this time to forgive for slavery, the man that moletsted me and other children because somebody hurt him too, the killing of Messiahs, etc and then we can create realistic solutions.
I think it is beneficial to both American citizens and the government, if we withdraw our army asap. Especially it is beneficial to our blacks from a survey on bigblackconnect.com
We need to have an immediate withdrawal of 90% of our troops and we need to leave 10% as spies to watch the fools over there that still want to harm us.
I just want soo bad to beleive that if a man stands by his integrity by keeping his promise of I won’t come over here and ya’ll don’t come over here. Stop asking for, food, clothes, shelter, toys from the USA, etc and leave us alone then everybody can go on with their religious, political, moral, ethic beliefs they will find that everybody will have to choose side. If you only like food from Iran, Italy,, China, Africa, etc, maybe I’ll have to live there because we will not be allowed to exchange goods anymore. Ya’ll better think where we are headed and decide if this is where we are prepared to go.
