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Although Ron Paul wants to see all troops withdrawn I really cannot see a total withdrawal for a number of years, due to the amount of violence in the country.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.

Dr. Paul is serious. The U.S. military has been occupying South Korea since before most of us were born. The same for Germany and Japan. The last I heard there was no major violence in any of those countries. Yet, the U.S. occupation forces are still there. So, when you write the U.S. soldiers can’t leave due to the amount of violence in Iraq, do you mean it is too much, or not enough, to get the troops out?
SO what if violence continues if we leave? It’s not our reponsibility to police the world. This is a waste of the money of Americans. Let them sort out their own problems over there.
I am sure there will be many “military presents,” Daz, but I would prefer them to not come out of my tax dollars.
P.S. I believe you meant presence. I am glad that army edumacation is going well for you. Go navy.
they LIED to get us there, ASSASINATED Sadam AND his sons, have killed OVER 1,000,000 civilians and have displaced millions more. And have personally ordered us to VIOLATE our constitution by declaring war without consent of congress, banishing habeas corpus to the point where the appointed lawyer (a soldier of course for military trials) declared the military commissions act extralegal to the Constitution!
There’s more, but I digress. After all of these lies, why would you still consider them to be or have been abiding by the same oath of office you have taken as a soldier…
(The only difference is when they disobey the constitution they send you to die for them.)
Actually, Dr. Paul says that it will take three to six months to fully withdraw troops from Iraq and no American bases will be left.
Excerpts from the Paris Accords, January 27, 1973
Article 5
“Within sixty days of the signing of this Agreement, there will be a total withdrawal from South Viet-Nam of troops, military advisers, and military personnel including technical military personnel and military personnel associated with the pacification program, armaments, munitions, and war material of the United States and those of the other foreign countries mentioned in Article 3(a). Advisers from the above-mentioned countries to all paramilitary organizations and the police force will also be withdrawn within the same period of time.”

Hey guys show a little respect to this soldier. What would Ron Paul say? I doubt he would call this man a moron.
ABOLISH THE CONSTITUTION!!!
err, uh, wait…we already did that.
Hey Jim, you beat me too it with the link! Does this mean you still have your campaign sign in the window?
RP has a lot of support, and unfortunately not all of them have tact. They type first and think later.
This guy served honorably and is entitled to his opinion. He’s not smearing or name calling RP at all.
What’s wrong with you guys? GROW UP! You’re hurting RP more than helping.
