A strong message? Yes, it would send a strong message of how stubborn and petty our politicians are. Most people don't support the war, but support the troops; by cutting funds, you are endangering the troops.
Thats why you bring the troops home and out of danger and the problem is solved.

And that still doesn't address the problem of the image they are portraying to the people; a bickering government that can't find common ground and work together. Undermining the president, no matter how bad you think he is, is not a way to build confidence in our government.

Have you considered that your government the way it is doesn't deserve the people's confidence?

If your talking about Iraqi civilians I think they would celebrate America's exit. And there will be violence regardless but less in the long term if America pulls out.
Celebrate? I highly doubt that. If we withdraw, the few areas that are in semi-working order will become warzones, along with the rest of the country.
