Suicide bombing casts "doubt" on ability to get US troops out of Iraq?

[captain_kook]

Thomas, thanks for that.
Interestingly, the SOFA allows for a lot of US troops to stay long-term in Iraq to back up the Iraqi military as they request it.

So it's a moot point.

And it IS an occupation but since the SOFA was signed we now are there under an "invitation" assumption.

Again- under international law, had Bush NOT signed the SOFA - which he swore he'd never sign - we'd be obligated - as the occupying power - to support Iraq as a welfare client


basically,

forever

What a waste of lives and treasure the neocons war of choice in Iraq was. Those neocons should all be on trial for War Crimes.  Justice must be served.

Well, then, what is the delay on the part of obammy and his head law enforce minion, holder?

Too late to prosecute Wilson, Ruskievelt, Truman, Horse's Ass Johnson.....

With Obama being such a weak president was there any doubt that the terrorists would come back to Iraq?  Obama is a waste...

Now you are just flat out making up stuff.  With the SOFA, we are no more an "occupier" in Iraq than we are in Japan or South Korea or Germany.

And President Bush NEVER said he would not sign the SOFA.  He worked on negotiating it for nearly 2 years.

there are no insurgents trying to kill us in south korea, japan or germany, dipshit.  we didn't lose 4700 soldiers occupying japan and germany after they surrendered and we never were at war with south korea, we were always there by request, so why are you even mentioning south korea?  have you ever actually read anything about history or current events, little tommy?

Because we have a SOFA with them.  That was the topic Ho.

Have you ever actually read anything about history, Ho?

The Bush Crime Family made a good part of their fortune on the deaths and sufferings of others. If it was up to them they'd have eternal wars.
