By: Probus- August 25, 2007 The threat of withdrawing forces has clearly had a positive impact in Anbar. The longer we stay in Iraq the worse the violence will get. Troop withdrawal will reduce the violence because we are seen as an occupying and invading force that is no longer welcome in Iraq. We need to send troops to Afghanistan instead of Iraq.http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4036054 By: The Null Anus of Jesus- August 25, 2007 All these different tribal leaders are forced to play both sides of the fence, theres only two sides wow, glad your mind sees the world in such mercifully simple terms when we look like we are about to abandon them. oh god... please explain how you got such a clever insight into the mass psychology of the iraqi mind and what serious talk of withdraw was there before the rethugs lost congress nooone... your saying everything was going swimingly before then so you're saying, if we are...http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4036053 By: Steve J.- August 25, 2007 the increasing security success in Iraq (ALL thanks to Bushs surge!)

That began last December BEFORE THE SURGE WAS EVEN ANNOUNCED. http:radamisto.blogspot.com200707sen-graham-lying-whore.htmlhttp://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4035954 By: john crandell- August 25, 2007 Are we two and a half weeks away from an Iraq Tethttp://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4035948 By: WC- August 25, 2007 Comment by Jason M. Hendler August 24, 2007 9:42 pm Well, to listen to the "war" supporters, the surge is working. This despite the "wishy-washy banter in Congress." You want it both ways, don't you, Hendlerhttp://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4035798 By: Jason M. Hendler- August 25, 2007 I believe the wishy-washy banter in Congress hurts our ability to provide security in Iraq. All these different tribal leaders are forced to play both sides of the fence, when we look like we are about to abandon them. When we had momentum after the invasion, and appeared to be looking to invade Iran as well, the various tribal leaders and people of Iraq seemed confident of Iraq's future (with the exception of Muqtada Al Sadr, who we should have killed when we had several chances to do so),...http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4035637 By: Mutt WrongKnee- August 25, 2007 Comment by Accuse Cheney August 24, 2007 7:38 pm How can a Godless atheist lefty be an Allah fundamentalist Islamic Your posts are irrational, illogical and just plain lack common sense.http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/24/withdrawal-responsible-for-success/#comment-4035599 By: Mutt WrongKnee- August 25, 2007 Comment by Makarios August 24, 2007 4:53 pm You stated earlier the American people didn't know everything the military was doing, now your stating that you know more than they do.
