Senator McCain maintains that a troop withdrawal from Iraq would be "reckless and irresponsible." Vice President Cheney supports Senator McCain's stance and insists the U.S. economy is not in a recession, which, is easy to say when you are employed, own a mansion and your net worth is about $94.6 million. When asked how recent polls suggest that 66% of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it, Cheney replied, "So? Obviously, we've expended considerable public funds [between an estimated $2 trillion and $4 trillion] and those are funds that could have been used for some other purpose. But we think this is the most important use we could put them to. The country has, in fact, supported financially the endeavors we've been involved in." Vice President Cheney???s insouciance is out of touch with the majority of Americans (ABC News).
Bush, Cheney and Senator McCain believe that the surge has worked. However, U.S. officials in Iraq observed how the current U.S. approach has been a splintering of Iraq rather than the creation of a unified nationalist Sunni front that would be prepared to deal constructively with Baghdad. A well coordinated withdrawal with support from NATO is, ultimately, the only way out. Obama insists that he could withdraw all troops from Iraq in sixteen months, which, is an unlikely event. Rather, as his opponent has clarified, what is necessary is to make clear that the United States intends to withdraw (Council on Foreign Relations).

There will always be naysayers in history...If it isnt the money they are complaining about, its the cost in lives. These Men and Women died for what they are supposed to do...defend your freedoms. Just because ppl like isis5632 has a miserable life because t.v. programs like MTV tells him he does, then all is lost. GET OFF YOUR PS3 ISIS5632....Get off the pot and prescription drugs you are stealing or buying and really stand up for your country. Your Generation thinks that everything is OWED to you. PPL like you sit around waiting for the big break like Idol, or Big Brother to call you for a casting call. You think life is like what you see on those goofy assed "REALITY" shows...well its not!...Your finding that out cause your Generation uses credit cards like free money, with no intention of paying the creditors back, but keeping the stuff you got. (stealing)...Thats not helping our economy now is it?... Self centered and indulgent describes your Generation....GIMME GIMME GIMME, MINE MINE MINE, NOW NOW NOW. Never truly work for anything. Just enough to get by. Stop whining...Your generation has no comprehension of humility or humanity, or hard work. If you want to shoot up a mall or school ( as you point out in your post)then know that if there is a Heaven or Hell we can take comfort in the fact of where you will be going, just like the other cowards/losers. Bragging about your Generation is just plain ignorant on your behalf...Maybe you should take up a more worthy cause for your Gen...Like...Making iphones more slim and easy on the hand or more games for the PSP. Thats more your Gens speed...Leave Iraq issues to the more serious and dedicated in this country...;)

Iraq should have never been invaded in the first place. But you cannot blow up a country and then decide its too expensive, lets go home, that is a morally bankrupt. moral bankruptcy will destroy this great country. It took American centuries to become the great country it is now, yet we are despicable in our demands that the Iraqis get it together in a few years. Millions of dollars spent on building Club med embassies, while money for redevelopment in Iraqis cut. Same as all the new high tech prisons in america while schools are left to fall apart. And you wonder why my generation is so mad, shooting up the college campuses around the country, we have all been pimped not just Chelsea. I hate that people my age and younger (25) have had their blood spilled for a false cause, I hate that my parents generation was too eager to send my generation to war and then was too selfish to tax themselves to pay for this war and will be sending me and my children the bill in years to come. I do not like any of the candidates running for president riht now, but at least Obama has mobilized my generation to get involved in his country and take back our country before our parents sell us off as prostitutes to the Chinese.
