Iraq debate thread

<p>It's been a while since there has been any real central debate about Iraq and since it seems to be in the news quite a bit right now (the Democrats smell blood) I thought this would be a good idea.</p>

<p>Okay, so to start with the Bush administration has been coming under fire, and firing back, over the decision to go to war in the first place.

<p>Some Democrats (and some Republicans, I'd be willing to bet) have brought back the issue of whether or not Bush misrepresented the case for war. Cheney has accused opponents of re-writing history while Bush has said they're playing politics with the issue of Iraq (well, yeah).</p>

<p>Anyway, we've seen a lot of it before. It's only be brought back as an issue because Bush is on the ropes, opinion poll-wise. What is new, however, is some politicians urging an immediaate pull-out:

<p>The prospect of an immediate pull-out must surely stir some debate on here.</p>

<p>The floor is yielded.</p>

<p>oh yeah, and check out this cool vid. :)

<p>Immediate pullout=mass chaos, in a hurry</p>

<p>The reason why we went there no longer matters now, those politicians are wasting their time. What matters now is closing this deal off without screwing anyone over.</p>
