We are about an hour away until Bush gives his big speech on what his "Plan" is with Iraq. Many people say that he is putting more troops in Iraq. Is this the right thing to do?

Yes i think sending more troops to iraq is the right decision. America started a war they should finish and if it means sending more troops to iraq would end that war then let them go ahead.The war against terrorism should not be tolerated at all.

How in the world can we expect to turn a country that is accustomed to being a violent society, for thousands of years, and that's basically all they know, into a peaceful democracy??? I'm sorry, I just don't see it happening! Our Soldiers are dying and suffering, as well as their Family and Friends, while "We" are "over there", trying to instill peace into a country that knows no such concept. "Putting more troops in Iraq ...right decision?" NO, personally, I don't think it is. I didn't vote for Bush anyway, LOL!!!

I disagree with putting more troops in Iraq. I do not think that the Iraqi's are picking up their responsibility. I think as long as the US will keep troops there, the violence will continue. I am not saying bringing our troops home will stop the violence, I am saying that it will make the Iraqi's begin to solve their own problems, instead of depending on the US.

The right thing- the wrong thing?? This is what we hear alot of.. Do i think it is time to bring home our soldiers? Oh yes-- Do I think we should send over more soldiers? No-- Will we send over more soldiers? Yes I believe we will.. Are they needed? Yes they are- Are we helping? Yes we are... My best friends husband went to Iraq for 1 year- He recently came back home- He is a different man- He has lost alot of his patience-- But he brought home some great stories and great pictures- of Iraqi children hugging our soldiers-- Thanking them for making them safer. Will Iraq ever be safe enough to bring our soldiers home? I hope so! So is it right? I don't know-- Is it wrong? I cannot answer that either-- Please let us support our soldiers...
