08/30/2010 – www.RonPaul.com Amid much fanfare last week the last supposed combat troops left Iraq as the administration touted the beginning of the end of the Iraq war and a change in the role of the United States in that country. Considering the continued public frustration with the war effort and with the growing laundry list of broken promises, this was merely another one of those administration operations in political maneuvering and semantics in order to convince an increasingly war-weary public that the Iraq war is at last ending. However, military officials confirm that we are committed to intervention in that country for years to come, and our operations have in fact changed minimally, if really at all. After eight long draining years I have to wonder if our government even understands what it is to end a war anymore. The end of a war to most people means all the troops come home, out of harm’s way. It means we stop killing people and getting killed. It means we stop sending troops and armed personnel over and draining our treasury for military operations in that foreign land. But much like the infamous “mission accomplished” moment of the last administration, this end of the war also means none of those things. 50000 US troops in Iraq, and they’re still receiving combat pay. One soldier was killed in Basra just last Sunday, after the supposed end of combat operations, and the same day 5000 men and women of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Division at Fort Hood were …

@sh4p3shifter You’re kidding right?
its not even about whether its moral or not – whatever side your on the fact is America can’t afford this war. So its not even possible to go on like this. More harm is done by staying there

I’m actually not sure what you’re talking about…
Just so I can be clear… are you saying that we DON’T have bases in Germany and Japan, and you think Dr. Paul is mistaken?
