Iraq’s Foreign Minister: Please Don’t Abandon Us

• May 5, 2007

He’s pleading, America. Pleading.

Iraqis are standing up every day, and we persevere because there is no other option. We will not surrender our country to terrorists. They have failed to cripple the elected government, and they have failed to intimidate us into submission. Iraqis reject their vision of a future whose hallmarks are bloodshed and hatred.
Those calling for withdrawal may think it is the least painful option, but its benefits would be short-lived. The fate of the region and the world is linked with ours. Leaving a broken Iraq in the Middle East would offer international terrorism a haven and ensure a legacy of chaos for future generations. Furthermore, the sacrifices of all the young men and women who stood up here would have been in vain.
Iraqis, for all our determination and courage, cannot succeed alone. We need a healthy and supportive regional environment. We will not allow our country to be a battleground for settling scores in regional and international conflicts that adversely affect stability inside our borders. Only with continued international commitment and deeper engagement from our neighbors can we establish a stable democratic, federal and united Iraq. The world should not abandon us.

Are we going to abandon this man and his people to the terrorists, or are we going to finish what we started and leave Iraq a stable and secure ally in the region where most of the world’s terrorism springs from?

Omar of Iraq The Model “Why Are The Democrats Doing This?”

Omar feels the same way. Pulling out would make the fallout from Magadishu small potatoes.

The Democrats want to hurry up and lose it before we win.

New “surge” strategy that happens to be working even though it’s not even fully implemented yet – Democrats say that it’s the “same old failed” strategy and we have to quit now.

How do you even start with people who are that hostile to the truth? I don’t know. We’ll probably end up abandoning Iraq. The Democrats and Islamics will cheer.

That fallout already is small potatoes. /quote]

The fallout I’m talking about was the rise of Al Qaeda inflamed by our ‘paper tiger’ response. We had several hits against Americans throughout the middle east totalling around 1000 in the 90s, 9/11 and tens and tens of thousands of civilians (mostly Muslim) struck by like minded terrorists.

This is not a new phenomena brought on by Bush we’ve got decades of failure and half measures.

Mark Twain once remarked that history didn’t repeat itself, it rhymed. I direct you to two quotes a blogger attributed to another great American author who died this week, as they are germane to the article Rob cited:

likwidshoe, have you served in the military?

True or false: Iraq’s Foreign Minister is a puppet of the US government

Answer: doesn’t really matter does it? What he says is 100% accurate.

I am not so sure it would take much of a genius to see that. However, seems the dems are missing the point. They only care about getting re-elected.

Lik, how do you know? Do you have crystal balls? Give it a break. This is not a democrat republic issue. This is a human issue. Think about it.

Red state, Blue state. What a bunch of devisive bullshit.

Maybe he should plead with his legislature not to take a 2 month vacation.

Yeah, I read that and thought they’re really making inroads into an American style democracy.

Pelosi to Iraqi’s – Screw You! The most important thing is for the Democrats to return to power, your lives don’t mean shit when compared to how important power is to us.

Please America! Without your backing, my sect’s death squads may not get fresh equipment every week to hand out to the terrorists. We might not have as much supplies as we want for our terrorists to dress like legit police and even be trained by your military!

That fallout already is small potatoes.
