MooseMist: Obama not to pull troops from Iraq immediately.

krea · Senior Member

that sounds like the same thing to me "start pulling troops=gradual withdrawal" unless i am mistaken... he will definitely not be sending more though right? someone please respond to this with an answer haha

Beccawicks · Senior Member

He isn't sending more. And I am all for getting out. But it would be irresponsible, and not all that plausible, to get out in a matter of hours. As long as we are out within the year and people don't need to keep losing their lives, I am content.

kb · Senior Member

I thought he promised to take them out with in the first 16 months of him coming into office... Unless I am mistaken? But I think a gradual pullout is necessary

Scottster · Senior Member

i think that he needs to get our boys home, its only gonna be worse if we keep them there any longer!

krea · Senior Member

i agree completely with becca

Janell · Veteran Member

a gradual withdrawl over a set period of time from iraq is the best option. as much as we need to get out of there already, it will only cause more problems if it is immediate.

krea · Senior Member

and thanks patrick for editing and making clear the question was stating immediately :)

LauraHernandez17 · Senior Member

well i think as long as he sticks to his plans of gradually pulling out it'll be fine but the sooner this war is over the betteRRR!

adrianna_mrozek · Veteran Member

yea.. i thought he promised he would take them out within 16 months...
but even if he gets them out gradually ASAP then its better then just leaving them there.. at least he will do something to get them back home :)

cupcakeshauna · Veteran Member

He should pull out gradually....

Beccawicks · Senior Member

16 months is a gradual pullout. And its not that long of a period of time.

Matt. mhm · Veteran Member

Yeah, as long as he gets them home. But i like his plan, gradually get em here, while also fixing the economy at the same time.

jessmontano · Veteran Member

i think a gradual withdrawal would be the best.

cstair23 · Senior Member

a gradual pullout over a set period of time i think would be best

it both binds obama to his promise
and
braces the country for a wave of incoming employees

rtheisen · Senior Member

don't make any sudden movements. Those Iraqis are skiddish....

YOitsjvo · Veteran Member

i think a gradual withdraw would be pretty good.

Zach_V · Senior Member

Robert is right about the whole skiddish thing. A gradual withdrawal would be better.

coolkidchaney · Veteran Member

Gradual would be best like what we did in Vietnam a long time ago.

Codenamelivi · Veteran Member

i thought Obama said he would start pulling troops out as soon as he was elected... Sixteen month period??
