pulling out
It seems to me that we our country ,our people, our congress our president, must find some form of nutral plane with theses countries we are fighting against in other words find common interest that we can nurture first. Its like planting a seed.Then after we've made those bounds and only then could we even consider pulling some of our manpower out . If we pull out to soon , are if we don't send renforcement in to help the worn out and weiry we are doing a repeat of the vietnam war , when america turned its backs on there on troops that were asking for help and they gave them none. There is a movie with Mel Gibson about this. I think some of us need to watch this again to see as a reminder the consequences of our decessions.President and congress people are waiting and watching your actions with your on loyal servant , the United States military, will you leave them like sitting ducks in a field to be slaughtered are will you make sure that the young and old that have put their lifes on the line for us back home , so we can get up every morning to breakfast and tv while they wakeup to to bombs exploding and near death each day.Yes we are all watching and other countries are watching your decessions because how you treat your on," in other words"if your on military can't depend on you for back up if you would leave them stranded shows very little promise for what you would do for other countries that support are mite be considering supporting the UNITED STATES.
Obama's Speech on Ending the War in Iraq
IS U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT TELLING US THAT THE TWO "READER COMMENTS" THEY PUBLISHED ARE THE ONLY TWO THEY RECEIVED ON OBAMA'S SPEECH OR ARE THE ONLY TWO THAT THEY FEEL ACCURATELY EXPRESS A WELL FOUNDED VIEWPOINT OR ARE THE ONLY TWO THEY FEEL ARE ON-TOPIC AND/OR NOT ABUSIVE?
SURELY U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS.....?
SURELY U. S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT UNDERSTANDS THAT OBAMA'S SPEECH WAS A "FEEL GOOD" SPEECH TO ALL THE WONDERFUL MARINES AND OTHER SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE IN SUPPORT OF MILITARISTIC OBJECTIVES OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATION ON THE PLANET WHO NOW CONTROLS THE COUNTRY ON WHOSE SOIL LIES OIL RESERVES SECOND, IN SIZE, ONLY TO THOSE IN SAUDI ARABIA. MR. OBAMA FAILED TO MENTION THOSE OIL RESERVES IN HIS SPEECH...I WONDER WHY?
IN MY OPINION, WE DO NOT NEED DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS IN POWER, SO MUCH AS WE NEED A DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER IN INDIVIDUALS, I.E. THE POWER OF NON-VIOLENCE.
I WELCOME THE DAY WHEN MR. OBAMA WILL PUT ON THE TOP OF HIS LIST,
THAT HE, AS PRESIDENT OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL START NO WARS OR SPONSOR ANY CLIENT STATES IN THEIR AGGRESSION OF OTHERS (ISRAEL FOR STARTERS).

Welcome to AS I SEE IT, With The Comprehensive Commentary Your Day Can't Do Without.
How refreshing it is that a new direction is taking place, as George Bush was just to darn stubborn to admit any wrongdoing, and would never change the course this country was going. I strongly believe this war in Iraq was a mistake since their were no WMD's. However, what causes me worry about the idea of pulling out of Iraq more than anything is Al Queda. Boosting the amount of soldiers in Afghanistan to fight them will likely cause Al Queda to at least try to increase the amount of their presence in Saddam's former nation. They're already in Iraq, and if they send more of their terrorists over there, I fear we may have to reinvade this war-torm country. Pulling out of Iraq may be a mistake. Let's just hope it's not.
That's AS I SEE IT. I"m Mike "Mainer Mike" Brown.
