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Although Ron Paul wants to see all troops withdrawn I really cannot see a total withdrawal for a number of years, due to the amount of violence in the country.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

The Sunnis and the Shiites have been fighting for over a thousand years. If you want Americans there for another thousand years, get your own brigade going—-I don’t have a problem with that. Pouring out our country’s capital, both economic and in the form of red blood from American soldiers (not to mention all the Iraqis that have been bled out) doesn’t seem like such a wise course for a Republic. Now if we want to continue our imperial delusions, continued military involvement in the Middle East is a perfect way to come to a withering end.
Ron Paul is a nice guy and all, but if you want a real candidate with real values, then you want Hillary Clinton. We need some change in America and we need it now.
I like to think of America as a suffering patient, where Hillary is an experienced doctor. What we need here is some good medicine.
LOLOLOLOLOL you think HILLARY CLINTON IS A nice guy? Watch this video and watch what she did to this guy. A man who was helping them. If you think for one minute that she won’t screw you, think again.

We had better hope that the troops are home soon, before the Chinese invade to try to reclaim some value on the billions in war loans that the U.S. is trying to repay with worthless inflated dollars.
