Getting American Military Out Of Iraq

The Iraqis want us to leave their country like yesterday,and the latest polls here in America show a majority of Americans want us to leave sooner than later.The Status of Forces Agreement which was signed near the end of the Bush administration will have all combat troops out of Iraq by the end of 2011.Some international aid groups such as Amnesty International and the Red Cross estimate that as many one million Iraqis have lost their lives and another one million have been displaced because of the war.We now have in Iraqi one of the largest embassy in the world,and U.S. oil companies are now bidding for lucrative oil contracts which the Iraqis have opened up.The question Americans ask is has it been worth it.Over four thousand American lives lost,and possibly one trillion dollars spent.Has it been worth the blood and treasure of both Iraqi and the American people?Maybe time will give us the answer.
General Colin Powell once stated that the only thing the U.S.has ever asked of a foreign country is a decent place to bury our dead.We have no cemeteries in Iraqi.
