Just a public opinion poll to satisfy my own curiosity.
What is your position on the current Iraq occupation?
1) No time-limit for withdrawal/open-ended occupation - Just as it reads. Whether you want to occupy Iraq permanently or at least "until the job is done". We're talking potentially "years" here.
2) Phased out withdrawal/time limit imposed by legislation - The "middle ground" post. One might cast their vote here if they feel the US should immediately begin planning to pull out, but feel an immediate withdrawal is impossible/not desirable. At the very least "months".
3) Immediate withdrawal (within reason) - Obviously we can't just pack up and be completely gone by the 8am Baghdad flight out but you feel the US should immediately begin packing up and be out of there, regardless of any other consequences, and that this can be accomplished in a "reasonably" short period of time, as opposed to the months or potentially years of the above options.
Most everything should fall in the above rubric. Feel Iran is a serious threat? You'll need a spring board and favor #1. Think the occupation is doing more harm then good? The longer we stay the worse it gets, you favor #3. Feel like it's a damn mess but we have a moral responsibility to fix things? That's #1. Etc.
If you think the options are a little ham-fisted though, by all means, explain your choice. But remember, every vote counts!
