Why does Mccain want to stay in Iraq?

Question

jeez it's time to get out of there. that is where the bulk of our taxpayers money is going to. if we get out of there more than half of our economic problems would come to ease. and why did we go there anyway.?

Answer 1

I don't think he wants to stay in Iraq; however, he is smart enough to understand that if we leave now (or in the next couple of years) we have wasted everything we have started to accomplish.  Right now we have an opportunity to fix something that was broke for a long time (and I don't mean the mistakes we initially made).  Saddam was a ruthless dictator (as were his sons) where no one could live with any kind of security.  Imagine being in your house and because you were protestant you would be killed, daughters taken and raped, etc.  We wouldn't tolerate it here yet according to the democrats (and I am not a republican or democrat) we should have let this continue.  

Like it or not, Saddam used WMD's (chemical agents) on his own people.  We did find delivery vehicles (artillery shells) for the same but that story was relegated to the 20th page of the paper.  Not sure what will happen long-term if McCain is elected but the last democrat set the stage for 9/11 with his foreign policies/direction (and yes, this attack was born and planned during the Clinton presidency).  History is very clear; isolationist policies and approaches have only led to bigger wars/confrontations (WWII and WWI for example).

Answer 2

"We" did not--the big oil companies, Halliburton and other war opportunists did and are busy making record profits in a war that can not and will not be won.  Those who do not learn the lessons of the past  (Vietnam, another war of national liberation by the Vietnamese)  are doomed to repeat them in  Iraq, in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, in Iran etc.

The Russians just saved the Americans from themselves in Georgia/so Ossetia.  

Never, ever in my name!!!

Answer 3

Because when we went into Afghanistan, one of the biggest complaints we heard was "we don't trust you Americans becuase you come in, cause trouble, and then abandon us."

We don't want to repeat that mistake.  

We should make Iraq pay their own way now.  At least they are finally asking us to leave now.  That is the best thing that can happen. So when we do leave, they cannot say we left too early, because we will have done so in response to their request.  So it appears the surge did was it was intended to do.

Answer 4

It is necessary to secure the country for a democratic government. If we pull out now, it will cost more lives to go back in to protect that democracy.And it could escalate a bigger war in the mid east. Now is the time to hold the ground. We can always leave, but only when it is secure.The sacrifices already made would be made worthless if we pull out.Why are we still in Korea and south viet nam?In japan and guam?I don't see anyone crying about those troops and they outnumber the ones deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Answer 5

Nobody WANTS to stay in Iraq.

It's simply the reality that if Iraq is to remain a free and independent country, the United States will necessarily have to stay long enough to assure that the newly formed government can adequately provide safety and security for the Iraqi people from the radical, terrorist elements that seek domination and control.

Answer 6

Because he holds the false belief that we can control the world, but he knows that we cannot do it without soldiers, since we have squandered all our talking points as a country worthy of following.  This is illustrated by his desire to stay in there even though the Iraqis want us out.

Answer 7

Because if we leave now we have created a haven for terrorists and extremists to gather and plan attacks on America and her allies. If we leave now we are condeming Iraq to even more years of civil war. If we leave now we send a message to the people who don't like America, and to the rising powers of N. Korea, Iran, Russia, China, etc.. that America has no problem running and hiding when the going gets tough.

We went there to take WMDS, which have been found countless times since the war started (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?i...  and  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,2004...  there are more links, dont give me that fox news bs line, you cant argue with god d**n chemicals located within the borders of iraq regardless of the reporting agency). We went there to try and remove the terrorists in the county, which we are doing, there are countless Al-Qaeda in Iraq. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda_in...  and  http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htlead/...

I am disgusted by the 75% of the people in this country who supported going to war with Iraq but now that things are little harder then anticipated they just want to tuck tail and leave. Grow a pair people.
