WikiLeaks reveals Iraq war diaries

thoughts on war with iraq? what reason does US have? why are more and more troops being sent out there despite all the presidents' promises to pull them out?

 

>.> What are you talking about? Afghanistan?

"More and more" troops haven't been sent to Iraq. The administration has been decreasing the amount significantly; Iraq has the lowest numbers since 2003.

 

I think there's a misunderstanding. I was under the impression that the documents released by Julian Assange and WikiLeaks were about the efforts in Afghanistan as opposed to Iraq.

Well, this has been discussed quite frequently, but I think the war is immoral and further portrays a negative impression of the United States as an "overreaching and arrogant" nation to the global community. Certainly, there are ulterior motives, prominently business interests and oil, but I suppose "liberating the Iraqi people of tyranny and corruption" was the purpose given by the government for the occupation of Iraq.

As Nick has said, the military is pulling out and decreasing their presence, handing over control to the native law enforcement and military.
