Ron Paul is all for troop withdrawal from Iraq along with most other people but as an ex troop who has served in Iraq I really cannot see this happening, all the troops are doing out there is peace-keeping and training the Iraqi forces to not much success.
To my experiences all that was happening were inter-tribal fights and I.E.D explosions which in some cases cause fatality to a battle group, all our troops in Iraq are a target to violence.
Although most Iraqi personnel are all for the troops in Iraq a small minority are not, this is what you don’t see on the news.
Although I was in a troubled area of Iraq I am disgusted with all the pictures you see on the news and in the papers where troops are walking the streets in a relaxed state playing with the locals! It is not like that whatsoever, we always have to be alert and in full fighting order at all times, this does indicate to me that our job out there is far from over.
Although Ron Paul wants to see all troops withdrawn I really cannot see a total withdrawal for a number of years, due to the amount of violence in the country.
In my personal opinion I think there is going to be a military presents presence in Iraq for a number of years just like Northern Ireland.

You can’t see it coming?
All it takes is an executive order that would read something like this:
I, Ron Paul, President of the United States of America hereby, order General David Patreus to plan and execute an evacuation of all United States military personelle from the current borders of the Republic of Iraq within 90 days.
bro your a moron, “all the troops are doing out there is peace-keeping and training the Iraqi forces to not much success” and..”To my experiences all that was happening were inter-tribal fights and I.E.D explosions which in some cases cause fatality to a battle group, all our troops in Iraq are a target to violence.”
…you dont make a credible case to stay.
Have you seen this article? What’s your opinion on it?

Gee… you SOLD me! Whatever was I thinking? I mean with a rational argument like:
“Although Ron Paul wants to see all troops withdrawn I really cannot see a total withdrawal for a number of years, due to the amount of violence in the country.”
I now feel like I have just been a naive lefty military hating troofer all this time! Thank you for waking me up, Daz!
I see now that we must occupy Iraq for the next thousand years. I now see that the Iraq war is not over until either every Iraqi is dead, America crumbles financially, or somehow the entire Middle East becomes a nice, shiny Christian haven.
You have opened my eyes!
Look how Basra blew up when the British pulled out.
Oh right, it didn’t. Violence down 90%.
No no… you people don’t understand. I now see things very clearly after reading Dazs’ wonderfully brilliant article!!
Everything Ron Paul says is wrong. If he says the sky is blue, it isn’t; it’s green. If he says ice is cold, he is wrong; it’s hot.
It’s that simple, really! Just take everything Ron Paul says, and the opposite is the real truth! I am now a believer!
No, Ron Paul’s not joking and neither are the American People! We want the troops to come home as soon as it is safely possible!
This war is costing us too many soldiers and too much money!
Why do we need to be in the middle of a civil war? Were people in Europe trying to stop us from killing each other during America’s Civil War? No, of course not! It was a good thing to get Saddam Hussein out of there but it’s not our job to stop the fighting. It’s not our job to stop the fighting in Africa, or Northern Ireland or anywhere and it certainly isn’t our job to nation-build. People have disagreements and some people handle it differently and if anyone in America disagrees with me we can go back to that little fact about OUR CIVIL WAR! Why is it so hard to understand that this is not a war on terrorism? It was never a war on terrorism - the threat is gone to our country - why are we still there?
I’m Speechless. Somebody pinch me.
“Military presents”?
The military is giving out presents?
OH, you mean “presence.”
