warri0r45 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 something scares me... If Bush sends too much troops there and leaves only %10 of them left in USA, terorrist will have a higher chance of attacking America easier... Lol, dude... you don't think Bush is stupid, do you? Oh wait he is stupid... Anyways, I think it's a good decision. Let the USA clean up the mess they created. Send Bush over there with a rifle to lead attacks on Baghdad hideouts. You make the mess, you clean it up. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Maybe this will make John "I support the Iraq war" Howard to actually put his money where his mouth is. Sorry, but 1300 troops doesn't count. Your right, but our forces are stretched in Iraq, Afganistan and I'm pretty sure we still have forces in Timor and the Soloman Islands. Don't take my word for the last two though. The point is we can't contribute as much as the poms or the yanks ever could, which I'm sure you're aware of. Ah, to be totally honest mate, I didn't know of the last two, I was completely ignorant to them. So, fair call. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

d3nic Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced he would be pulling out troops in Iraq, and Lithuania and Denmark declared the same. This is happening just as President Bush is going to send 21,000 more troops to Iraq. How do you feel about this? What kind of impact do you think this will have? Good impact. Bringing out troops home. Also, I'm not very good in politics and all that... But the main reason Tony Blair is pulling these troops out is because the USA is sending 21K more troops to Iraq? - Denic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bush sends too much troops there and leaves only %10 of them left in USA, terorrist will have a higher chance of attacking America easier... ...Why would that matter? We don't have armed soldiers on every street corner protecting us from terrorism. America is just as protected (if not more) than before 2002. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

Geordiequeen Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well my uncle is one of the first to be coming home so i am happy. With Blair leaving soon i think he does not want to be seen as the person who put us into a war and then left and i think he is also hoping that in doing this labour will gain more votes and he will be counted on a good PM. On the other hand there is rumors going round that he is doing it because he does not want to be Bush's "lap dog" anymore which is fair enough.

sour_tacos Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 According to my history teacher, althought the war is killing many people, the US and Britain should stay a bit longer in Iraq. My teacher says that if we pull out, and allow terror to grip the country again, they might as well drop a nuke on us and end the world. I'm not quite sure I can beleive him thought, because this teacher has ADD, and he said this on one of the days he forgot his pills. (Shortly after this, we began a serious discussion on poodles, and which teacher's we think are perverts. Don't ask. :mrgreen: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowmasta13 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I believe the troops in Iraq are useless anyways. The second we pull out, the Iraqis with the biggest guns are going to rule that country. Do we serios believe that we take over a country, implant a totally new system of government, and except them to take it lying down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordkrohn1626 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 will it affect us? nah.....nothing new...US military (world police) provides 95% of the soldiers, 95% of the money, 95% of the casualties and the funny part is we get 95% of world wide disdain. You think we like playing world police? fix your own problems, dont go crying to the US every time you get some new fanatical dictator threatening your lives. My vote is we just stay in our own country, fix our schools, our roads, feed our poor, and let the world deal with their own problems......maybe then we will get the respect we deserve. We are used to doing all of UN's dirty work while they sit behind their desks and look down their noses at us, publicly denouncing what we do, while asking for more support and money behind closed doors. You wonder how a country barely 500 years old could go from wilderness to the super power of the world? FREEDOM, freedom to pursue intelligent thought, scientific design.....but go ahead and continue Socialism, Communism etc and wonder why we are so far ahead in the game of life. China has been around for a very very long time, proof positive that communism doesnt work, or they would be the worlds most powerful and rich nation...instead of us. By the way, I have been deployed here since Oct 2006 and wont return to my wife and 4 kids until later this year. Not the first time I have had to do time in the sandland burying worthless people who slaughter each other over religion, and I am sure it won't be the last. We should have finished the job when I was here in 1990 in Desert Storm, when we defeated Sadaam's "million man army" in 40 days....bring it Iran, your next in line.

Satenza Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Why would we have troops in Australia and the USA? With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Why would we have troops in Australia and the USA?Probably includes things like military bases and such. I know Australia has a few US Military bases somewhere around the country which are mainly used for training purposes. The UK most likely has a similar setup.

splatmster24 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 We in England are told that it is because we're better at this kind of peacekeeping mission than the Americans, so we've done a good job in our bit of Iraq. In reality, I suspect that it is partly that, and partly the fact that Blair is leaving soon, and wants to feel like he's "seen it through". There is also the opinion in the country that America has taken the UK for granted and has been a poor ally, so we aren't going to give unconditional support any more. you guys did a good job in your part of iraq, but you didnt have bagdad or fallujah. this is my post on what a soldier in afganista thinks about that war http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=609724&highlight= Say what you mean and mean what you say because those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter.

We should have finished the job when I was here in 1990 in Desert Storm, when we defeated Sadaam's "million man army" in 40 days....bring it Iran, your next in line. Just the arguement I would have expected out of the pro war side of this. I do agree with you on one point, though not for the same reasons, the USA should take care of its own problems before going around telling all other nations what they should do to fix theirs, thats an ultimate DURR move there, we can't learn to take care of our own country, though we think we actually have the authority to tell others what to do, because apparently, our way of doing things is the only way of doing things right. :roll: Sure, we were heros in other wars(Even if our involvement was for personal and/or selfish reasons), but now we are just starting them cause we let all that go to our heads and think we must keep up our reputation, when really all we are doing is screwing ourselves over. Freedom is good, yes, but really, all the US is is a joke, we claim freedom, we may sorta show freedom, but if you would look at some of the stuff that is being passed or already in circulation, you would see that our "Freedom" is quickly diminishing, listening in on phone calls, watching people's actions on the internet, taxes(Wasn't that a reason our ancestors left Europe in the first place?), the rich pretty much get what they want, yet the poor are pretty much just outta luck, this war is another example did we actually get a say in this war? No, the government basically just started shoving troops out there out of nowhere, has anyone ever wondered how we started out searching for Bin Laden in Afghanistan and somehow ended up in Iraq searching for weapons of mass destruction that we sold to them? And, heres a reality check for you, China is one of the best nations in the world, the US is definatly not the most powerful nation(Economically, maybe, though last time I checked (Which was a very long time ago) we were sorta battling Japan for that position), you are overestimating us WAY too much, we are one of the most powerful, but not the most powerful. And about your comment about "Burying worthless people who slaughter each other over religion", why exactly are you there personally? From your post right there I can pretty much guess your another one of those sickos who joined in this war just to kill these "worthless people". I can not tell you how many of your kind I have met, thinking, "Its going to be AWSOME in Iraq, I get to kill people and be looked up to for it" it seems to be a very common mentality from what I have seen, not saying all soldiers think this way, but many do and it completly sickens me. I am going to stop here for now, as I don't want to spend my entire night on this one post. ~^v^~Ex-Leader of the Divine Flames of Redemption~^v^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkrohn1626 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 1) Just the arguement I would have expected out of the pro war side of this. 2) "because apparently, our way of doing things is the only way of doing things right." 3) "listening in on phone calls, watching people's actions on the internet" 4) "And, heres a reality check for you, China is one of the best nations in the world" 5) And about your comment about "Burying worthless people who slaughter each other over religion", why exactly are you there personally?

Sometimes you have to remove a few radicals to bring peace to the population. 2) Been around the world? I have, spent anytime in the middle east, china, asia, europe? I have, go see the world and you will realize just how great we have it in America. 3) My theory on the whole privacy debate, if you have nothing to hide, what do you care? I wouldnt give two craps if they wanted to record my life 24/7, I have nothing to hide. The guilty do though huh, wonder why there are so many that want to hide...hmmmmmmmmm, if I got to lose my privacy so they can catch criminals...so be it. 4) rofl...buy into media much? ever been there? every studied their history? a Great Nation...well I will give you they have a neat history, and have been around a long time. ..let's see what is my favorite mental picture of china...hmmmmmmm ah, i remember, it was the sight of hundreds of baby girls tied to clay pots and plastic buckets so they wouldnt have to change them, as they sat and cried...hungry, dirty, because they were "lesser citizens"....in the state run "foster system".....or maybe running over a guy with a tank who had the audacity to question the government......research, learn, then open mouth and make an informed opinion. 5) meant every word of that. Joined the military at 17 yo in 1986, and until you actually walk down the streets of Bahgdad, and see the bodies of women and children from the last brain washed, worthless piece of #### who decided to indiscrimanately blow himself up for his idealogy..or the 5 yo little girl they send out into the street in front of our convoy, strapped with explosives......or hiding behind women and children as they shoot at us, knowing we value innocent life to much to fire back...yeah your right, and I will happily remove each and every one of them if I could, as painfully as possible. 6) good idea, stop while you're ahead.
