Horse's mouth or horse's ass?

Supposedly setting a deadline for getting out of Iraq would be "discouraging" to our troops because they would be getting the message that we were quitting. I wonder what the troops would really think about getting away from a place where they risk being bombed or shot at for a chance to come home to friends and family?

Discouraged? They'd probably take the next plane out if they could.

No one wants to be at war. I don't think troops in Iraq want to be there. I think they had a choice in the matter, they'd rather be in Afghanistan looking for bin Ladin. Remember him? Al-Qaeda? Terrorists? 9/11? Twin Towers? Ringing any bells?

They joined up and looked forward to kicking his ass.

Not poor, defenseless Iraqis.
