Time to leave Iraq?
Posted: 02:09 PM ET
Here’s my question to you:

John Edwards wants no more than 5,000 U.S. troops in Iraq within 10 months. Is that a good idea?

Tune in to the Situation Room at 5pm to see if Jack reads your answer on air.

My response:


It’s a better idea than most of the candidates have, but that isn’t saying much these days. After what’s going on in Pakistan right now following our years of propping up a military dictator, when are the other politicians going to learn that 70% of the American people want this war over now, not 10 months from now. Maybe they’ll figure it out when Ron Paul surprises them with an upset and they are forced to stop excluding him from debates and be forced to take his constitution-based positions seriously.

It is past time to leave Iraq and quite a few other places we have been expanding our dynasty to include at taxpayer expense. I have been overseas and lived off post in Germany. I experienced first hand the extreme hatred that foreign countries have for American occupation of their land. We were screamed at and told to go home by the locals because they did not need us any more.

Besides, logically thinking, I would much rather bring our guys home to defend the border. Then we can fix the subprime loan debacle by having the government pay subsidized housing to our own citizens rather than a landlord in a foreign country.

Glad Edwards has seen the effectiveness of pushing a Paul talking point. I,however, prefer the original. Dr.Paul for President in 2008!!!

typed and sent....:D

I sent in comments for all of the questions, yet won't be able to watch. Will someone be you-tubing this today?

A day before the Iowa caucus, I think that won't be much of a problem :)
