I Am The Walrus. Who Are You?

Here's my plan to keep our troops in Iraq... ready? We impose a tax on every Iraqi citizen. We use that tax to finance our "security objectives" in Bagdad and at the borders. The tax would be repealed when the US forces IN Iraq dips below 1000 troops, whenever that may be. Otherwise we are simply playing into Al Qaeda's hands. Bin Laden has said in his videos and letters to the American people that his goal is to bleed our economy dry. That is why al Qaeda is in Iraq, not necessarily to kill Americans, althought ot hem I am sure its a nice perk, they are there to make sure that peace is not kept in Iraq int he hopes of bleeding our finances dry. and they are doing a damn good job of it. Why do I want us out of Iraq? A big reason is due to this. Bin Laden wants us to stay there.

What do you think? Let's get a dialogue started on this. Let's tax the Iraqis for our security force in their country. I for one don't want my tax dolalrs going to policing a foreign cities streets, a foreign city with its own democratically elected government.
