Bring Our Troops Home Iraq Exit Strategy

Peace with Dignity
Bring our Troops HomeMost Americans want our troops home. That is, even if we think that they are protecting our country by fighting in Iraq, we still want our troops home.
Only 5% of the 'insurgents' are Al Queda, and the other 95% are Iraqis that can be both Shiite and Sunni. So we could say, 'let them fight it out themselves, and just bring our troops home !'.
Bring Our Troops Home Iraq Exit Strategy
Considering that many Americans gave their lives, or at a minimum their future health it's not cutting and running to bring our troops home. We know that our losses are greater now than 4,000, and must accept that there are more than 40,000 wounded severely. Their families have also made significant sacrifices. They have lost loved ones or their lives are just on standby while waiting for news.
The Smoke and Mirrors of Further Costs
The Republicans have a point that in some so called phased withdrawal would make remaining US forces easier targets. The Democrats have a point that there should be a time line for withdrawal. The Republicans have a point 'if and only if' the Shiites and Sunnis are shooting at US troops. The Democrats could have a valid position that is, 'if and only if' we have a real plan for Iraq. The Democrats alternative is just leaving Iraq in the state of civil war.
So as far as the Democrats are concerned, they appear to be doing nothing more than just going through the political motions, where Bush can veto them. This is unacceptable in my opinion of how the American Government is to serve the people cost effectively.
Being compromised financially to foreign lenders such as China to finance Iraq's occupation, also puts us in a weak position if they decide to address such a global tyrant. We loose any capital in foreign policy proportionally to how much of a tyrant we are. Domestically, our economy will grind to a halt. We are then broke !
Our Pride As Americans
Our troops deserve their pride and dignity as Americans. There is no real healing that can take place without one's dignity in tact.
We are engaged in what seems like a never-ending struggle in Iraq. There is no definitive exit strategy. The assumption that "killing the enemy" is a means to an end is faulty and will only lead to further aggression and bloodshed.

This piece illustrates the urgency of one American searching for a way out of Iraq. In most cases timetables and war don't mix, but the current U.S. situation in Iraq may be an exception.

Nancy and the amazing spineless Democrats broke their promise to bring home the troops. But there's certainly no security risk to Americans if American contractors are brought home is there?

Hillary, Obama and John Edwards now say that if they get elected, troops won't come home until at the very least 2013. Am I on the crack or do I remember that the only reason the Dems swept into power last year was because they promised to end this madness now?
