Leave

We are happy that we got rid of Saddam but we will never be happy to give away our country in return.

Sorry if our flesh harmed your knives... is that what they want us to say. Is this what they came for?

The failure of this invasion is a victory for FREEDOM and a defeat for radicals in U.S. and later in Iraq.

Order the troops to leave Mr. President. afraid for the safety and the future of this place... leave 20 thousands of your soldiers on both Iranian and Syrian borders and let us take over our own country. THIS COUNTRY WILL BE FREE... whether you take your troops out now or by the efforts of the good people of Iraq and America. Sooner or later they will leave, and Al Qaeda will be defeated by the efforts of the good sons of Iraq... by the way, the state dept. must coordinate with the immigration guys to issue the Iraqi politicians visas and residency in U.S. (off course many of them have US passports as you know so those dont need these arrangements).

After the troops leave, the Iraqis who were more divided by the invasion will realize that the only way to live in this country will be through accepting the other (as our people did through more than 1400 years) we had our own civil wars and we lived through... we will have our own civil war and as we talk to people live with them, they are tired of war and their patriot feelings will unveil a bright future. And if not what worse could happen...

car bombs are killing civilians (on daily bases), in many times hundreds were killed. Mass kidnappings more than 100 employees were kidnapped from the governmental buildings. Terrorists and militias are rounding up tens of people from markets and central Baghdad, bridges are bombed, neighborhoods are cleansed (on sectarian bases). Tens of dead bodies are found every day in Baghdad and many cities.

Please someone answer me... Why the presence of foreign troops is necessary? Why? what can happen more? instead of 30 dead bodies found daily in Baghdad for the next 10 years if the troops didnt leave... after the pullout we will have 60 dead bodies a day for one year after the pullout.

Oh by the way before the troops leave they better do it right.. give the government 4 months to announce themselves as a transitional government to arrange the troops withdrawal, announce a draft among the Iraqi people to recruit young men in the Iraqi army so it will be national army not sectarian... and postpone the constitution amendments till the troops leave so the people will convince its a legitimate constitution and few things more... PLEASE dont let Bush plan for this, please... he will screw it...

To all American families we are sorry for your loss and our deep sympathy with you. the American mothers lost more than 3000 son in Iraq but the Iraqi mothers lost about 600,000 people and this MUST STOP.

and if someone told you, my friends, that we dont want to urge the pullout of the troops for feeling sorry for the iraqi people tell them: we (Iraqis) are not sorry for ourselves...

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself"

we had enough, let our country go free. by staying; you are forcing people to join Al Qaeda and militias.

We've always been a bit duped by our leaders in this country, but never to such a degree, never before with such horrific consequences.

I wish we could leave. I wish we'd never gone to Iraq. But the majority of the American people and the majority party of our congress can't seem to convince the white house that there is no time that will be better to withdraw than now, before another drop of blood is spilled.

Also, not to worry about the Marines in Fallujah. They will hand over al Anbar to Iraqis when they can secure the area for themeselves. I think you can take this general at his word.

[su arıtma]

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for what your country has done. I worked in Iraq as a private contractor and saw an unbelievable waste of money and a shocking amount of greed. Please know that there are some of us, even the profoundly guilty ones, who pray that your nightmare will end. We came to your country with our own agenda and not pure hearts. The truth is: there is no way to make this up. There is no way to resolve a breech of faith so deep. All I can say is I'm sorry. The US reputation has damaged severely. But the Iraqi people have been literally destroyed. May God forgive us for this konteyner tragedy.

I’d be interested in an updated GoogleAnalytics chart (may be two with about six weeks coverage), just to see if the effect did wear off after a while and also, did others link to your new name with the same link-text (allinurl:…). I hope you will publish a follow up.

Thank You !

Take the Pledge

All Presidential Candidates should make pledges like those below. If they refuse, then you should refuse to vote for them.

1. No More Oil Wars.

2. Work for independence from foreign oil on day one.

3. No more wars for corporate profit.

4. No more secret deals for $4 per gallon gas.

5. No more Chicken Hawks promoting wars of choice when they themselves avoided combat.

6. Make government green--if you can't make what you have the most control over green, I don't care about your plans to make the country green.

7. No more torture.

8. No more lying about torture.

9. No more re-defining torture.

10. No more drunken hunting.

11. No more secret deals with big corporations to divide up the spoils before the war even starts.

The following poem was inspired from my visit last week to Inside Iraq.

LEAVE

Grown teeth and groomed black box
Lighted by the sun’s last step
Moving with a whales majesty
Through the wary sea of red streets.
The royal land now grown slack
To the weight of screeching blasts
Through all the black occupied days
Where shrapnel and glass trump flowers
In all the gardens of home; as your heart
Wants you spirited and questioning this lifting
Of your children, of your people in the dry
Wash of stale munitions; the national pride
Of youth rearing up in bloody rebellion
Against those that would call them sons and daughters.
Alone you can snap it off, pierce the bloody boil
Growing in the teeth and black boxes covered with soil.
This last step is pointed at the fuming flames
And asking, imploring of them to leave.

Thank you all for your comments. many are afraid of what can happen if the troops withdraw, i am too. but please notice things here are getting worse for every one, the troops and the people... when a man picks a fight HE FIGHTS IT otherwise dont pick a fight, i think the way to solve this, is to make the Iraqi politicians realize the Americans are leaving (their Daddy) and if that happened you will see them reconcile and make things better. It is fear factor that is holding every one back and it needs someone with guts (but with a plan)..

[sfks]

As we have learned in the last seven years, the will of the people of the United States means as little to our leaders as the will of the people of Iraq means to our leaders. We've always been a bit duped by our leaders in this country, but never to such a degree, never before with such horrific consequences.

I wish we could leave. I wish we'd never gone to Iraq. But the majority of the American people and the majority party of our congress can't seem to convince the white house that there is no time that will be better to withdraw than now, before another drop of blood is spilled.

[Heather Ann]

I will definately share this!

[Lesly]

The U.S. won't leave until the Iraqi parliament signs the IMF-backed oil bill. That's the only "benchmark" that sadly matters.

[shano]

Beautifull post....
Bush has 28% approval now. Unfortunately we need at least 60% of Congress to pass a bill for withdrawl that will survive a Bush veto. I hope they can come to a compromise

We also need that percentage to impeach Bush and throw him out of office. (my preference, he is a disaster in every catagory)

If there is no withdrawl by Oct. 2008, a Democrat will win the presidency on this platform.
It is unbelievable to me how Bush, with so little support, is able to bully all of us. It is sickening.

Thank you for your great writing.

[thepoetryman]

That should read- "...only those experiencing such a boiling heartache could possibly understand."

[thepoetryman]

I hope you and your group are safe and sound as I write this.
There is no greater heartache I would imagine than to watch all this unfold in your own homeland. The death alone is staggering. To watch as your culture is torn away for oil; for hegemony. You can disregard those that say you are foolish to want the US to leave for it is the only way your country will heal. The delusions of Bush and his supporters will soon find themselves hungry with regret and filled with sorrow.

Your post has stirred my muse and she is stringing words together for my next post. I will spread your message far and wide. It is perhaps the most worthy message for it weeps for true freedom and with the knowledge that only those experiencing such a boiling heartache.

Peace,

"Payback is a bitch."

What payback? The U.S. will go merrily on its way,whatever happens in Iraq. Leave today,and the American people save 100's of billions. I suppose that's a nice payback. Iraq,on the other hand,will have genocide on a massive scale. We can read all about it on page 12,between the comics and crossword puzzles. Like Vietnam,Lebanon,and Somalia(other "paybacks" in U.S. history),Iraq will become a cesspool that nobody gives a squat about. Be careful what you wish for....because it might just happen.

[A Sad American]

This is what happens when the government runs amok. When lies are told to advance a war against people who did not attack us in America. This is a result of hundreds of years of western oppression of the third world. Payback is a bitch. Maybe now America won't be so quick to interfere in other countries business. George Bush and Dick Cheney need to be tried at the hague and found guilty and sent to abu gahrib prison.

[Perry]

Iraq will be a failed state if the U.S. leaves now. Another Somalia. Not a single Sunni political party has denounced Al Qaida,much less the "resistance" groups allied with the terrorists,but you think everyone will sing kumbaya when the U.S. leaves? Tell that to the Shia militias duking it out all over the south,where the U.S. has no presence.

[Mom of Son]

First, my sincerest apology for what has happened to your people and your country. The devastation visited upon generations of innocent Iraqis is beyond belief, and most Americans honestly want peace for your and your country.

If you really want BushCo to leave your country, simply refuse to sign the 75/25 oil law, and let them know that you will NEVER sign it. I can't see Cheney allowing this occupation to end until he and Bush's family get their piece of your oil.

PEACE

(I made several typos)

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for what our country has done. I worked in Iraq as a private contractor and saw an unbelievable waste of money and a shocking amount of greed. Please know that there are some of us, even the profoundly guilty ones, who pray that your nightmare will end. We came to your country with our own agenda and not pure hearts. The first thing I noticed when I arrived there was how the military and the contractors never trusted the Iraqis. They even called them all 'hajiis' in a very patronizing manner. The truth is: there is no way to make this up. There is no 'solution'. There is no way to resolve a breech of faith so deep. All I can say is I'm truly sorry. The US reputation has been damaged severely. But the Iraqi people have been literally destroyed. May God forgive us for this tragedy.

The lead story on the news on the radio when I was in my car today said Congress is digging in their heels on the money Bush wants for the war. They are sticking to their demand that their be some sort of timeline for troop withdrawl from Iraq. Of course, Bush's people refuse, but Congress is sticking to their demands. Maybe your message got read by someone in Congress, Dulaimy. You never know who is reading on the internet:) I suspect if your parliament makes good on their pledge to vote for the troops to withdraw, the Republicans will have no choice here, but to consider the troop withdrawl request. Good luck over there.

Well said. I'll post this entry everywhere I can. At this point, if your parliament votes to tell the troops to leave, the Republicans in congress will probably go along with their wishes. As for the troops leaving on a schedule, there are so many of them and so much equipment, it will take months for them to complete a withdrawl. More Americans than you know are sorry for the war in Iraq and all the loss the people there have suffered. There are smart and talented people in Iraq. You will find your way. Tell all the outsiders to let you find your way on your own and if you need help, you'll ask for it.
