What more do we want?

US troops in Iraq want out

Some excerpts:

"We just want to get out of here as soon as possible," said one vehicle commander in one of his few printable comments.

"It's because the Iraqi army is so scared that we have to come here to die," he added, asking not to be named.

"Ninety-five percent of Iraqis are good but five percent are bad. But the 95 percent are too weak to stand up to the five percent."

The majority of civilian Americans want out. Many US soldiers want out. Why are we still there? We've wasted enough lives on Halliburton-sponsored nation-building.
