We really are in trouble, it is looking we can no longer continue the war; so new propaganda, talking about peace in the middle east is now being disseminated.

Except it's never been a secret we couldn't afford the war. We don't make anything here, so the whole thing was paid for with loans. No more loans, no more war.

Maybe - but imo their seats became forfeit when they voted this $700 bailout in!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('eastbay', 'Y')eah. Maybe that bonehead Obama will quit blabbing away about how he wants to expand the idiotic wars when there's no money to pay for this madness.
Incidentally, his promises to further encircle Russia with US and NATO soldiers will be far costlier than the Iraq quagmire. The Russian army, although weakened, is a far cry from the pre invasion Iraq army, and at some point they will get tired of all those weapons pointing at them and make us remove them.
Doesn't that idiot Obama (and McCain) even consider this? Now, I realize liberals and conservatives both in this upside down world of 2008 crave more war. It's common knowledge. But still, can't they understand the result of this military escalation is utterly catastrophic. And now, without the funds to support our own economy, they're still harping away about creating more and costlier wars!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('burtonridr', '[')b]Costly to who? Who profits from war? dont say no one because the money flows from hand to hand, someone ends up with it.
Why do you think it has been going on so long? Why do you think it was started? Who owns lockhead martin? Who owns boeing? who owns the Clydesdale group?
How many of those owners have a relationship to Bush? How many contributed to his campaign? What a great way to launder money from the tax payers.

Peak Oil says we will not leave. If it comes to it, the Kingdom will fund the troops. They know the consequences of a pull out. They fear the Iranians more than the US.

Plus we gotta have it !!!

[Tyler_JC]

Alex,

I've been wondering about that too.

If the US pulls out, would Iraq become a massive, uncontrolled battleground between the Persians and the Arabs? (more so than it already is)

If you think it looks chaotic now, wait till 120,000+ US troops and hundreds of thousands of contractors leave the country.

I could easily see Iranian soldiers involved in a shooting war with Saudi forces on top of the oil fields of Southern Iraq.

I bet we announce plans for a large troop pullout at the end of October.
