Would a Democratic President pull out of Iraq?

[story147i]

ok, then!.

[MuskratandRatman]

I agree on prt.2 however my dad went to Iraq and his best friend there was an Iraqi soilder and his family had to move because Saddam let Al-Khiada's regime live in Iraq. That's why we are there.

[fixrifex]

yOUR PRESIDENT ADMITTED KNOWING ABOUT THE ATTACKS MONTHS IN ADVANCE, STRANGE HE DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUS. aNY WAY MAY GOD KEEP YOUR DAD AND HIS FRIENDS. IT JUST MAKES ME SICK TO SEE HOW YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS MADE SLAVES OF YOU THROUGH THE MEDIA.

[battlefield2rocks]

let me ask something i know there gonna try to pull out strategically but are they really just gonna forgive us. So if we pull out dont you think that just opens america to more and more terriorism think about it.

[fixrifex]

My friend you are telling me Great United States of America, the most powerful country in the world, cannot contain a simple insurgency. Do you know that nothing can happen to America unless the American government approves of it(sounds crazy, but it is better at times not to know the truth)

[MuskratandRatman]

So I could go kill President Bush or Obama or Clinton and it couldn't have happened unless the government said I could. You are so full of s*** you make dumps look clean.

[fixrifex]

It is so easy to judge innit. Well just remember one thing saddam's woe's started when he decided to stop trading in petrodollars, nothing to do with terrorist. You have been brainwahsed by your government aND i SEE NO NEED TO GIVE YOU ANY MORE COMMENT. i RESPECT YOUR OPINION THOUGH. KEEP ON KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISTS

[22cnick]

I hope you are not talking to me i back Bush

[Xenu]

The idea that the US stays in order to maintain a stable government is ignorant & laughable. Is that why they set up the TAL to privatize the entire state or prevent elections until forced to be Sistani or tried to control Iraqi oil. The US invasion has created new terrorists never before involved in terrorism and they are supporting a pro-Iranian fundamentalist party while preventing democracy in Iraq. Do you know ANYTHING about the laws written under TAL & the limits placed Iraqi democracy?

[Xenu]

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor also had positive side effects. It would be idiotic to argue from those positive side effects that the attack on Pearl Harbor was justified.

[22cnick]

Well, you may have proven i dont know as much as i thought i did on that last subject, and ill adnit that. you should PM those links so i can read up on it. but on this comment about pearl harbor... i dont know i just feel like pearl harbor is a different situation.

[Donnydepp789]

lol... pull out

[abarzilai664]

To expand on your point Mr Hayden I would say that we are seeing a return of Cold War libralism that dominated Democrat party circles until the 1970's. what this thought entails is that while the dems are talking about peace and withdrawal yet they want to do without hurting America's hegamonail position in the world.

[abarzilai664]

And to do this a signifigent military footprint must be left in the Middle East as well as an escalation of the Afghan War. Though they will claim that its purpose is to find 'Usama bin-Ladin the real reason I beleive is a show of force to tell the world that the US is still a superpower. As for the anti-war movement, despite the fact that many americans agree with pulling out they don't want to associate with far leftists which dominate, so the two dems would have to keep them at a distance..

[abarzilai664]

in order to win the center.

[SaveOurSovereignty]

There have been 4,279 coalition deaths -- 3,973 Americans, two Australians, 174 Britons, 13 Bulgarians, one Czech, seven Danes, two Dutch, two Estonians, one Fijian, one Hungarian, 33 Italians, one Kazakh, one Korean, three Latvian, 22 Poles, three Romanians, five Salvadoran, four Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and 18 Ukrainians -- in the war in Iraq as of February 29, 2008, according to a CNN count.

Not to mention trillions in debt

was it really worth it

[2002yzf426rider]

I really hate how everyone is acting like the war in iraq is a complete bloodbath, so far between 3000 and 4000 american troops have died over in iraq and if you ask me thats way too many, but thats what happens in wars,i believe it was a good decision to go over there, we took out an insane dictator who killed his own people with poison gas and now were trying to establish a form of democracy in iraq. in ww2 dday resulted in about 9000 allied casualties just remeber the situation could beworse

[overmind25]

We supported Saddam through those crimes. If you think we wen there to just establish a democracy than you are wrong. WWII was a different story based on different evens that do not compare to the Iraqis.

[2002yzf426rider]

How did we support him?

[maxp0werz]

Saddam killed his people years ago, back when he was on friendly terms with the US. I'm not a fan of pulling out, but there was no real reason for us to go in..

[2002yzf426rider]

taking out saddam was a in my opinion a good reason to go in

[overmind25]

The US put Saddam in power through the CIA and has supported him throughout all of the terrible crimes you have mentioned. We have been the cause of many of the problems in the Middle East.

[2002yzf426rider]

i probably should know more about these issues i only know what the all the news stations and my govt. teacher tell me

[overmind25]

Well you are just 16. Don't feel too bad. Just learn as soon as you can. Good night.

[Xenu]

The US overthrew two brutal regimes: Saddam and the murderous US/UK sanctions which murdered over half a million children, destroyed Iraqi civil society and strengthened Saddam. One depended strongly on the other. And Iraq is even worse now under the US than it was wonder Saddam.

If you really wanna learn something about Iraq I would recommend reading Noam Chomsky. Or look for videos here on YouTube.

In the 80s when he invaded Iran after Iran overthrew our puppet government that we installed in 1953. We turned a blind eye when he committed those crimes and even helped him use the chemical weapons on the Iranians during the Iran-Iraq war.

watch?v=gy9z5lGqXDI

watch?v=5IA98HsUiAI

[2002yzf426rider]

i had no idea about any of that, i still think we should wait until terrorism is no longer a threat before we pull out

[overmind25]

Well it is important history. We have been the terrorists in the Middle East by supporting puppet dictators. The Islamists are terrorists as well but they are only able to recurit because of our occupation and support of dictators.

[Xenu]

Terrorism in Iraq is mostly caused by Sunni ex-Baathists who want to start a civil war with the Shiite people and thus get back in power. The Shiite government has made it illegal for most Baathists to run for election or hold political power. This left many Sunnis without a job. Peace can come about through reconciliation allowing both Sunnis and Shia democratically into the government. But the Shiite government won't do that because it knows the US will fight the Sunni insurgency for it! So..

[Xenu]

.. there is no reason for the Supreme Council (the Shiite party in power) to give any rights to Sunnies who used to be in Baath Party because the US army will protect it! Terrorism will only begin to end once the Supreme Council sees that the US will not be there to protect them so they start negotiating with the Sunnis. The US gov wants a government that will sign an oil law with them allowing US control over oil. If it pulls out it will lose that. Bush&co don't care about bring peace to Iraq

[22cnick]

Xenu... its not exactly easy to just let both factions run the government. Ideally that what you would want, just like we have both republican and democrat leaders running this country. Unfortunetly getting those two factions to work together would be harder and more violent than trying to get the KKK and the Black Panthers to work together and run a country. The way i see it... there are two types of anti-war people. the ones like Mr. Hyden who realize the complexity of "just pulling out" and..

[22cnick]

..Continued from my other post.. and the ones like you.You are the type that doesnt agree with the administration so your prematurally biased and therefore will always have a "evil" perspective on the aministration. But seriously for the most part our government doesnt try to act "evil" or start conspiracies so lay off a little. Because people like you are the reason republicans dont want to leave, they associate anti-war people with you, not the ones who actually know what to do.

[Xenu]

Republicans, like Democrats, don't want to leave Iraq because of oil. You should study the proposed oil law and why the Iraqi people are against it. The ISCI and the neo-Baathists are not the only power players in Iraq. Provincial elections would in all probability lead to the victory of the Madhi army which the US and the Iranian/US-backed terrorist group Badr Corp are set on destroying. There are NO good solutions for Iraq But national reconciliation is possible. The neo-Baathists are open to

[Xenu]

..discussion & reconciliation (they are not Al-Qaeda) but the ISCI gov has to offer them something in return. I agree the Sadr movement is not much open to negotiating with the neo-Baathists either but they may have to once the US withdraws. The US should arrange for regional players to get together and try to arrange talks but for this to happen the US has to stop supporting one Islamic fundamentalist group & arming factions instead of bring the other groups into talks. Your analogy is off IMO

[Xenu]

Furthermore, you should look at the analysis of some of the major US experts on Iraq and look at their withdrawal suggestions. People like Juan Cole. an expert on Iraq and Shia Islam or Marc Lynch, who is an expert on Sunni guerrillas in Iraq. Or Robert Fisk - a journalist not an academic - who has interviewed various Sunni guerrillas leaders. I understand YT is not the best place for long responses but you have not addressed any of my points, rather just used insults.

[DelinquentFaith]

Almost a million dead Iraqis and 4 million homeless.... I guess that isn't a tragedy for you. Oh, I forgot you only care about American casualties. That is why the Iraqis don't trust you when you say you came to bring the freedom as if you love them. but the truth is you don't give a shit. So why are you there?

[2002yzf426rider]

don't tell me who i care about, dont you think that the country would be worse off if we left saddam in command?

[pizarroluigi]

Don't count on it. We all know what will happen if we leave.

[overmind25]

We do?

[jaculainen]

Hillary voted in favor of the war. She is part of the problem. She is one of those that plunged the iraqis to hell and caused hundreds of thousands deaths, torture and rape in Iraq. Would she pull the troops? She lacks decision making power and seriously needs a backbone.

[freedomwv]

He brings up some good points. The wording that is used is what people should be paying attention to very close. How many troops and what type are they talking about when they say bring the troops home.

[oldhacks]

Hillary and McCain are EXACTLY the same

oldhacks blogspot com

Hillary is on the senate arms committee which means she is a direct link between the military and the budget.

McCain wants to avenge his failures in vietnam.

this is the year for America to reclaim its independence and vote for truth and justice.

gravel2008 us

if you vote for hillary or mccain you might as well not vote. I mean if you can only vote for who THEY tell you to vote for isn't that a dictatorship?

[Inkan1969]

Now there's a good reason for voting for Obama or Hillary or McCain: You give the middle finger to oldhacks and his warped idea of "truth and justice".

[Inkan1969]

The sickos here that are bashing Obama are the left wing versions of the NeoCon sickos attacking John McCain. I applaud Obama for pissing off these leftist extremist assholes.

[oldhacks]

Obomba is a phony. He never says anything. just "we can do better" or repeats the word "change" a hundred thousand times. Ive listened to his speeches and they're all the same. he describes the problem and then says "we can do better" and everyone cheers. You gotta be an idiot not to be able to see through him. truth is he wants a 100,000 more troops. wants to double our military spending. Hes a K street puppet working for wall street

[Inkan1969]

The sickos here that are bashing Obama are the left wing versions of the NeoCon sickos attacking John McCain. I applaud Obama for pissing off these leftist extremist assholes.

[overmind25]

Yeah, just act tough by attacking almost meaningless labels instead of dealing with the issue. It is easy to pretend you are above the "extremists". Unfortunately for you, it was extremists who helped progress mankind, not some knee jerk reactionary on the sidelines.

[sara5893]

I have been saying this for months. My Dem friends keep telling me the Hill/Obama will take all the troops out. I tell them they are wrong and that they are only hearing want they want. Hill and OB said they would remove troops to preserge levels and that they will ONLY do this in a save manner. In other words the Dems will not remove the troops. They are simply saying what their party wants to hear.

[UNKNOWNPOW]

Amazing video-Ron Paul for President in 2008!

Peace, Felipe.

[oldhacks]

the NAZI party lead to the deaths of 35,000,000 people. Ron Paul? thanks but no thanks. We've all seen how productive Nazi's are.

[motorola99]

Good to know, that there are still Americans who have the courage to speak the truth, I mean the person in the video. Great video Real news. Keep it real.

[UNKNOWNPOW]

Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton will work for the same corrupt forces and will not leave Iraq entirely! They are politicians-they lie to fool you to vote for them when it matters, they are merely puppets for the specials interest groups, lobbyists and corporations! When Democrats and Republicans see that the subjective corporate media 'front-running' candidates are fraud's with no allegiance to American security U.S will be truly free to pursue a path to peace and prosperity!

Peace, Felipe.

[highlander924]

Hillary won were in Iraq for another 100 years,if i get drafted im going to stand out side Hillary's home and tell her that if i die my last berth would be to dame that lier to hell

[lkcaudill]

Our country's invasion of Iraq as a humanitarian act is dubious at best. Its merits lack the intellectual elusiveness of historical events. At least in the past, the people were beguiled by educated leaders to believe in a cause. It is evident that our Government is made up of self-indulged utilitarians. Probity no longer exist.

Take a look at who has the most donations from active duty troops of ANY canadite before you talk about supporting the troops!! Vote Ron Paul or else say you don't care what the men and women who are on the ground want.

So as of today this guy endorses Obama.

Tom Haydon TRAITOR to reason.

[IWantDemocracyNow]

WE DEFINATELY NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE US DID TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS!!!! Everything about this country makes sense once you begin studying that. READ DERRICK JENSEN!!!

[32oz]

True!

[Kilalakitadibaa]

nonononon

[32oz]

Why shouldn't we not talk about what we truly did to the Native Americans? In fact, some of the rhetoric used to talk about the "threat" of Native Americans and the role of the United States mirrored what we use to talk about so called "terrorist." The phrases may have become much more politically correct and less racist but it is the same ideology.

Or are you saying no to reading Derrick Jensen?

[modaloperator]

ummm has this guy ever heard of RON PAUL!!!!

[Fixhist]

In First week of sept 2001, condi was on hot platter to get approval for purchase of huge quantities of Ammunation, including surveillance drones.Army didn't recommend purchase.Than came 911 as gold mine for sale of war gears and promulgation of NWO.

NWO can't be rolled out,only way out is to blame toy-story character "Alqaida".

Alqaida had been talking toy like "ELAMO",Alqaida only talks when tickeled by Bush for very favourable reasons for Bush,is it not?

[yahasif]

With a name like "the Real News" and the choice of Tom Hayden to interview.. We don't even have to wonder if there is bias on this channel.

they've also recently had Eric Margolis recently. Do your homework.

clinton bill , that also wanted to kill, but didnt have the skill, gave it to bush and cheney.....

Oh,but you believe mainstream media?? look at his voting record! he voted against the patriot act! he even tried to get it abolished! he voted to not go to war! he has called for the end to the occupation in iraq!

stop lying about Ron Paul!

[rabratten]

Some of y'allmight consider taking a third-grade spelling class. And maybe a logic class, too, in a few years after you grow up.

Folks, just because Paul voted against government intervention and spending on so-called racial issues, that does not make him a racist. Get over your socialist expectations that the State is supposed to do everything for you.

The word is spelled "semitic," not "semetic." I don't know what a "semetic" is, but I myself happen to be Jewish, and am voting for RP.

[julianhpike]

my girlfried is jewish as well and we are both voting for Ron Paul!

[burningice17]

The person below obviously fell asleep during the video.

If Clinton is so great, why did she vote to continue funding the war? Why is she not for gay marriage? Why is she not speaking out against corporate welfare? Why is she not against NAFTA and WTO? Why is she not for impeachment of Bush and Cheney? Why is she not for single payer health insurance and pretending universal is the same thing?

Barak falls in the same category for all these questions as well.

[FandangoSpears]

Who is for all these mentioned causes?

[burningice17]

Within the democratic party, Mike Gravel. Obama and Clinton are virtually clones. Given that, it makes sense to vote for Gravel since Obama and Clinton are equally awful.

Besides, it's more likely that he polls low because the media doesn't cover him versus the media not covering him because he polls low. The corporate owned media is keeping him out of the debate because they don't like his views.

[FandangoSpears]

Hillary is the best candidate for this country!

[hennitherover]

hahaha, omfg, roflmfao hahahaha

essentially that person was insulting the person in the video and saying that our the Iraqis would be "roping camels" if not for the USA.

I was making a case that we should NOT be there. Looks we had simple a misunderstanding. :)

[wheeloftime147]

alagogo is obviously an anti-Hilary...I'm not a huge fan, but I'd rather have her than McCain or Huckabee. Well, I'd rather have anyone than McCain. But seriosuly. People don't give Clinton enough credit.

And she does have the best healthcare plan...

[HollisQueens]

Tom Hayden you should vote for Ron Paul if you want the troops to come home,he alone will get all of our troops home and get us out of entangling alliances and wars. He won't give foreign aid to Isreal or Arab countries. We can't afford it anymore and the war is immoral.

[tanio12]

hollisQueens Ron Paul won't stop giving aid to Israel and have Israel not make his life a living hell? Ask George Bush Sr what happened to him when he decided to raise up against Israel.

[HollisQueens]

Maybe this is one of the reasons there is a media blackout on Ron Paul. But I don't understand how a nation is such tremendous debt is supposed to give aid to countries.

and as for Iraq io have nothing to say exept RP08!! for freedom, protect our civil liberties, hunt terrorits but let NATO-countries citizen have the right to privacy and freedom. That's my opinion

[olmstead999]

yadsik, your opinion might be logic to you.. but not for most americans.... im canadian, our troops are in afghanistan and they're doing the right job, hunting talibans for their horrible crimes on 911 / 7/7/06 , madrid... what are you thinking.. please remember the victims of these coward acts

[yadsik]

Actually n7cav, if it wasn't for white people the middle-east would be in a much wealthier state right now if the USA didn't have their hands in every middle easterner's pockets 'stealing' their oil and exploiting their resourses which would allow them to live in palaces if it where not for western interference.

[yadsik]

The same goes for Africa and European colonialism.

Thank you for posting this & all the lively comments too! Senator Clinton is a coward & proven liar, Why should I believe anything she says>? I have a dream Dr. Ron Paul in 2008! I do not accept I can trade my Liberty for Safety.Main Stream Media, Federal Reserve System, & Defense Contractors are controlled by Israel & Mossad, like Richard Perle, Michael Chertoff, Paul Wolfowitz, & Ari Fleischer. If USA engages Iran, people of USA will suffer consequences. Thanks.

[gabeh73]

they will play with definitions of "troops" in Iraq...peacekeepers is a toatlly different thing we will be told...or moving 40k troops over to Afgan and 60k troops to iran or saudi...combat, contractors, non-combat...THEY ARE LYING....ALL THE CFR candidates want BIG SPENDING, BIG MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.... WAKE UP MORONS

[Articflame]

Ron Paul

[geoduck85]

Ron Paul? The same Ron Paul that wants to eliminate public education? Federal Educational loans and grants for college students? The same Ron Paul who wants to get rid fo the EPA and all environmental protection, the Clean Wanter and Clean Air Acts? The same Ron Paul who wants to eliminate the rights of workers to organize and form unions? The same Ron Paul who used racist and homophobic language in newsletters from his office during the 1980s and 90s. That Ron Paul?

[HollisQueens]

The same Ron Paul who would give us back our income tax and let us decide how to spend it, who would let us fix of education locally and not with giant government bureaucracies that can never answer our concerns locally or effeciently. The same Ron Paul who would decriminalize drugs which would help the ridiculously number of minorities who are in jail for possession of drugs.

[SwobyJ]

Right on! Public education is notorious for producing lowly educated people (in general).

[HollisQueens]

FYI geoduck85 I think the Ron Paul said in one of the early debates that he has no problem with unions, because there is nothing in the constitution that warns against unions. And Ron Paul's answer to the environment is property rights, if we enforce property rights then corporations and governments won't be able to polute so easily, they are the ones who do the poluting anyway. Ron Paul is not against any state legislation for the environment but he's against it in Washington

[iluminatr462]

you need to listen to what ron paul says about unions. he says that people have the right to form unions, but that they shouldn't be protected by any special legislation. basically you can form a union, but if your company fires you for doing so, that's there right. and state legislation on the enviornment is not going work. the idea that a counry can function without a centralized goverment is just fantasy. remember the article or confederation?

[immanent]

Ron Paul is the only guy that would get them out AND fix the economy.

[wakeuptotheworld44]

dude hillary , is a member of cfr no she wont pull out

ron paul 08

[oldhacks]

Mike Gravel has made this exact same point for months now.Only Mike can get us out of Iraq and keep us out of illegal wars for good by giving us the right to vote against war as well as the right to begin voting on everything else.With our elected officials. Turning our opinion polls into legal legislation the congress will have to address by Law! and they can vote against Americas national measures but that will expose that candidate as a man not supportive of Americas will.

ni4d dot us

[POPWELLMAN]

No one knows

[Xenu]

They've stated they will only pull out combat troops within 5 years (Clinton) or 18 months (Obama). This will still leave 50,000 to 100,000 Americans in Iraq involved in "counter-insurgency" (mission: deterring democracy, carpet bombing, securing control over Iraqi oil). No American president would allow Iraqis to control their own oil. -- Hayden is too kind to the warmongering Democrats.

False. Hayden is basically wrong here. Go to CNN dot com and watch the debate that aired tonight. Obama will pull out all troops within 16 months; Clinton will pull out "most" troops within a year. The only troops left behind will be to guard the embassy and US diplomats, which even Hayden supports (he says he has no problem with "security guards" in the video).

I suggest you not believe everything a politician says for public consumption. You should read their policy papers. You should put more trust in that (see Democrat's "Foreign Affairs" articles) than lies they tell the electorate. I noticed in the debate Obama's number changed from 18 months to 16 and Hillary's from 5 years to "hopefully" 1 but they meant combat troops. You're being lied to (and it's a rather obvious lie, if you don't mind me saying).

Clinton supported the war aggressively and continues to support it. She's only changed her tone recently in order to win the nomination. Control of oil is a source of intimidation and control over rising economic rivals. WMD was an obvious lie. Hillary knew it and supported the war and continues to do so. As did her husband. It does not get much clearer than that. Obama would be a bit better on the war although he also voted to fund it and removed antiwar speech from his site when was popular.

Found the problem. The first four times I tried to post, I typed CNN'com instead of CNN dot com (with a . instead of a '). If you do that, it doesn't post but gives you no reason why it didn't, so I thought it was completely broken and had to spam the comment section to figure out why. Nice design, YouTube.

Sorry for the spam, but apparently I can post short comments with no meaning but not long ones.

I think there's a 500 letter limit to posts.
