Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | SUBJECT ON IRAQ Plus OTHER NEEDS I have been listening to the hearing on , which is Live on channel 205 with Dish NetWork, "REPORT ON IRAQ" but they are calling it "PROGRESS IN IRAQ" I am sorry to hear a lot of what I am and therefore I can't help but post something about this. I continue to email President Bush and other government officials, PLEASE, IT IS TIME TO GET OUR TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ. How many more precious Americans are going to loose their lives in Iraq, isn't it high time that the Iraq government take responsability of governing and manning it's own military and take over what it should be doing. I have copied and pasted this paragraph from the AP Press report from my yahoo of today, Quote:
With all I have said above, then I might like to add, why isn't the government here in our country doing what it should to upgrade the failing bridges, and also the water lines in this country that provide us with drinking water are so old they need to be replaced, with the increasing of outbreak of many diseases, could it be coming from that which is not healthy to drink, our precious commodity of drinking water. We buy the bottled water but then how do we know where that comes from. Last year being in a restaurant and served my drinking water to see couple worms floating in it UGHHHHHHHHHHHH really made me question the purity of our sources of water. I think our government needs to direct more attention to its much needed priorities here in the United States, yes and our troops could be doing much here to help upgrade the systems instead of abroad and dying for a cause that another country should be able to take over doing for itself. I support all our troops with our prayers daily and to their families for all your sacrifices, regardless of my feelings about the Iraq and Afghan. situations, I will continue to pray for the day all of our troops from these countries will be back home. I am not proof reading this as it is coming forth from my heart and don't want to go back reread,as each and all which I have said here is a conviction of my heart and want to put forth just that.

| I do not agree. I don't think we should leave until the Iraqi military is ready to protect the country themselves, after all, we are the ones that disbanded their military and bombed their infrastructure. I do not wish to think that all the United States has done in Iraq is for naught. I think we could have done better in Iraq, such as accelerated training for their military and closing borders so that insurgents could not enter from other countries. If we leave now, with no military in place, Iraq will become a breeding ground for terrorism and the US will be known as a country that invades a country and leaves things worse than when we got there. Believe me, I am not a supporter of President Bush. In fact, I voted for Kerry (who promised to have accelerated training of the military). But I do not wish to go into Iraq again because of terrorism, which we will if the government does not succeed. Also, if we cut and run now, Iran will think they can build their nuclear weapons without impunity because the American people (not the military) do not have the staying power to complete a job. I love our military. When I see someone who is uniform, I thank them for their service to our country. They are in my thoughts every day. Let's finish the job as soon as possible and then get out as fast as we can.

Thanks Shadow and Pea496 for your posts. I wanted to emphasize a statement that I made in my post so I have high lighted it in red. Many times I have gone up to someone in uniform given hugs to them to take back to the others, and thanked them for serving in our armed forces. We also frequently send care packages to our troops in Iraq. How many years have we been in Iraq?????? Why aren't the Iraqi's military ready to take over in their country, when will they ever be military ready?????? Pea496 I totally agree in your reply which you posted, let's finish over there and get out as fast as we can. This needs to be done ASAP. Patti and Jack | |
