A residual U.S. force will remain in Iraq
- Text size
Newsday
February 26, 2009
Some of the U.S. forces likely to remain in Iraq after President Barack Obama fulfills his pledge to withdraw combat troops would still have a combat role fighting suspected terrorists, the Pentagon said yesterday. Obama plans to announce his withdrawal strategy as early as tomorrow. He is expected to choose a compromise 19-month plan that leaves behind as many as 50,000 troops for cleanup and protection operations. Although most of the fighting forces would be withdrawn within 18 months, some of those units could be in Iraq for years to come. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said that a holdover, or “residual,” force would number in the tens of thousands.

Iraqi authorities ordered the mid-flight return of a plane carrying a Sunni lawmaker accused of directing a private terror cell, forcing him back to Baghdad yesterday, hours before parliament lifted his immunity and cleared the way for his arrest. Mohammed al-Dayni faces allegations he masterminded a string of attacks that include a 2007 suicide bombing inside the parliament building and mortar strikes on the Green Zone. He had left the airport and by nightfall was the target of a nationwide manhunt. Al-Dayni has denied the charges, calling them part of a campaign by the Shia-led government to silence critics. He claims he was traveling to Jordan to see family when authorities ordered the Iraqi Airways jet to return to Baghdad just as it was about to leave Iraqi airspace.

Just another lie from BO or Barry Soetoro, or whatever his name is. His entire existence is a fraud, from his fictionalized Hawaiian birth (cannot produce an actual long form birth certificate which identifies hospital, doctor, etc.,etc.) to his campaign statements pursuant to bringing the troops home. Until he irrefutably proves his Constitutional eligibility for the Presidency, the USA has a usurper in the White House who is more probably an illegal alien, Barry Soetoro, from Indonesia.

Yeah, you know that just doesn’t sit right with me…You might as well paint a big ole bulls eye on their backs. Rules of engagement? I see sitting ducks…

That would be the Israeli view of things.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Does the Israel government approve of this?
February 26th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
If 50,000 is residual then what was the 3000 that died on 911, a speck? The 4000 Americans that died over there is what, a flake? The more important question is why are we there when Iraq had nothing to do with 911? GEORGE W’s own words.

It’s called a slight of hand, (deception) sort of what the Crown did to us by allowing Admiralty law to usurp the Common law. The war on Terror, Bush and his minions thought, could spread to other nations when he said “You are either with us or with the terrorists.”
This shadow war based on UN 1442 resolution violation, not the GD piece of paper the Constitution was written on,(Bushes’ words) allowed the bloodbath to continue. Let there be NO FUCKING MISTAKE….What was done was outright criminal. It may have been legal, but it was sure in Hell was NOT LAWFUL via no declaration of war by Congress.

Just 50,000 troop (more or less)
add 50,000 paid civ too

Contrary to what most people have been indoctrinated with, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are relatively new religions. Humanity goes back tens of thousands of years. These three have worked relentlessly to keep us from spiritual knowledge and using this power, of which all of us have.

If you have the courage to tap into this power, psychedelics are for you. Every religion that has ever existed is rooted in the use of these powerful plants. Unless you’ve experimented with them please don’t judge them or the people who advocate their use. I kid you not, if you want to feel the love of the creator please look into this subject.

February 26th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Maybe it’ll make it easier for iraqi forces to pick off the occupiers.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:12 pm

its true. the biggest US embassy in the world is the new one in Iraq.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
campaign promises are meaningless, obviously…the muslims are still the designated masonic/cia scapegoat to steer energies of the herd towards a common enemy to maximize profits and control for the elites…a brutal purge is coming…

They are not ever coming home.

The brutal regime in Iraq had already started criminal operation to cover up on the people who helped some alternative and public media for exposing the death squads which carried out massive genocide. Days ago, the regime in Iraq had practiced criminal conducts on the relatives of and on Mohammed AL-Daideni.
http://video.google.com/videop.....&hl=en
There are undenial evidences that are indicating to the involvement of the brutal regime in Iraq in carrying out massive genocide on civilians, for example 2007, there was a secret meeting in Finland to which desiged to open negotiation between the criminal elements of regime in Iraq for their political based blood-shed rivals. However, its becoming very clear that the regime in Iraq is intended to brutaly silencing those who helping or helped the media for exposing the criminality and the brutality of their criminal practices on civilians.
February 27th, 2009 at 6:39 am
This is the link for what they called secret meeting which were including none other than the criminal elements which were representing the criminal regime in Iraq.

Better the troops die in iraq (afghanistan) and mistakenly thought of as heros, then to be on the streets here and dieing fighting amerikahn citizens and be thought of as traitors.
February 28th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Its official, the Dems own the war now.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I have to agree with you on this issue one.
After writing a comment here around an hour back on another issue here I commented about Obama being honestly elected not using conspiracy to get elected or drug decriminalization to get elected and I said he still won the majority of voters, and may very well end the evil Iraq war.
My comment somewhere disappeared.
Was murdered and lies in the ground dead waiting for the resurrection.
Somehow killing the truth takes on a killer personality, something like someone killing a human being.
There the truth dead, Killed. By a killer.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:21 pm
I sense what you are saying is true.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Yes one. It is all about convincing people and taking power isn’t it?

The United States to this day remains in Korea, Germany, and one hundred other places. This is no country for someone to just live in and benefit, just a world police government where no one can just live in peace and prosperity. Who else in the world patrols everybody’s else’s borders.
Damn worthless foreigners.

It’s always too late to join the army. Now what, they might make something up to get our troops in somewhere they aren’t too bee.

I have an urgent message for infowars, more important than any message you can
hear. God is Holy and cannot accept sin. Why are there famine, disasters,
death, etc in the world? Mans REBELLION against God! God wrote the law on each
man’s heart so they are without excuse on judgment day when we will ALL stand
before Christ. I plead with you because God wants me to show you the truth in
love! All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God(Romans 3:23). The
penalty of sin is death and eternal punishment in the LAKE OF FIRE. You are
dead in your sins and headed for hell which is described in the Word as a FIRE
THAT QUENCHES NOT. It is a horrible and terrible place of torment that people
will go because of their sins. But God has provided a way for each to escape
the lake of fire. “For God so loved the world, He sent his only Begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life”
John 3:16. Jesus suffered a horrible death and rose again 3 days later to take
the penalty of YOUR sins! He loved you so much that He provided a way for man
to escape the lake of fire! All you must do to be saved is BELIEVE in Him(trust
in Him to save you). That is it! No works or anything you do can save you! May
God open your eyes, that one day I may see you in heaven. Read the Word of
God(I recommend the King James version) before rejecting it! Death is fleeting.
You may NOT have tomorrow! For death comes when we least expect it! Make sure
you are saved TODAY! The Bible condemns the rich, the wealthy, those who take
advantage of the poor, so it CANNOT have been made up by the elite. Because the
Word clearly CONDEMNS people such as those! Read the Word for yourself and see
that the claims are true!!!
I am a Christian, and STILL struggle with sin. Many so called Christians are
arrogant and hypocritical and think they have it all together. It is my desire
to do RIGHT as a Christian but will falter just like anyone else.
P.S.-the jesus-is-savior(dot com) site btw, agrees about the govt conspiracy
and exposes 911 being and inside job and the corruption of the govt.

Israel orchestrated 9/11 on us so we would invade Iraq on behalf of Israel.
Israel plans on expanding to its “greater Israel” borders which are from the Nile to the Euphrates.
When the expansion takes place and the synagogue of Satan have filled that land then the False Messiah aka Antichrist will be sent to lead them all to their final destruction.

Obama is a clone of George Bush. That is he has no back bone and does what the Zionists tell him to do. So far he has folled almost every Bush policy.
