- Hi!This debate is about the taking out the troops.But my opinion is that we keep the troops there.If we win we should take the troops one group at a time.Because if we take out the troops all ay one time the terrorists will have a chance to invade again.

what should we do with the troops ?
The Pros and Cons of the War from the White House
1. PRO: "The United States has clear authority under international law to use force against Iraq.
CON: "The Security Council did agree to one resolution, UNSC Resolution 1441, that called on Iraq to disarm its weapons of mass destruction and cooperate with UN inspectors, but did not include an authorization for the use of force against Iraq
2. PRO: Iraq had and still has the capability to manufacture these kinds of weapons, that Iraq had and still has the capability to manufacture not only chemical but biological weapons.
CON: "The best evidence that I had seen was that Iraq indeed had weapons of mass destruction.
3. PRO: "I base that on the fact that there is $5 trillion worth of oil above and in the ground in Iraq.
CON: "If it was a war for oil, we wouldn't have done it.Because if you look at the consequences - Iraq is now producing less oil.
4. PRO: "The fact is that Iraq's weapons do pose a grave threat to international peace and security.
CON: "The stated reason for the war was that Saddam Hussein had developed weapons of mass destruction that posed a long-term threat to America.
5. PRO: "This is a massive and difficult undertaking -- it is worth our effort, it is worth our sacrifice, because we know the stakes. The failure of Iraqi democracy would embolden terrorists around the world, increase dangers to the American people, and extinguish the hopes of millions in the region. Iraqi democracy will succeed -- and that success will send forth the news, from Damascus to Teheran -- that freedom can be the future of every nation.
CON: "The US is not the political, economic, and social model for every culture and every political system.
6. PRO: "The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the incremental costs of deploying a force to the Persian Gulf would be between $9 billion and $13 billion and that prosecuting a war would cost between $6 billion and $9 billion a month.
CON: "Wars are costly undertakings. They almost always cost more than government officials claim they will.
My Opinion on the Iraq War
The war in Iraq has been a horrible for us this past 7 years.As the war been going on millions of people have died.Fathers and sons have died for their country, family and friends.My opinion is that we kept the troops there, then as time past we take out one group at a time. Everyday the families and friends wake every morning and lie in bed every night wondering if their soldiers would come back alive. But I think the goverment dosen't care that millions of citizens die everyday.Did you know that 57% of the U.S. is out fighting out in the war while the other 43% of us is here praying for them.The goverment has to stop sending troops out there and start sending food and supplies to the ones that are alright there.Supplies like hospital supplies, because there is so many soldiers that have serious injuries like no leg, arm,or they don't come back at all.Some people say that Bush started the war and some say it has Saddam Hussein.There is so other thoughts that Bush only wanted to gain Iraq's oil.They executed Saddam Hussein on December 30,2006 and some people thought it was over but it wasn't. We are still fighting against them.We need to get along. We need to stop fighting.We need to have peace between us.
War is...
This is what war turn out too be.
