If you really cared, you'd have enlisted.

Hypocrites.

Of course, I try to love all humans.

My question is though, would it be better to pull out of Iraq, then watch the collapse of the Iraqi government that would tear that country apart and result in mass killings on an unimaginable scale, then send our troops BACK in to help establish an actual working government OR send in more troops in hopes that we can protect and If we increase our support at this crucial moment and help the Iraqis break the current cycle of violence, we can hasten the day our troops begin coming home while realizing that there will be MORE casualities from both countries.

What I'm NOT asking you is to tell me how wrong I am for being a Bush supporter. What I want is your OWN opinion relating to the question I posted above.

BTW, we have no way of really knowing which stragedy would cause more casualities (sp).

Bush said he will send about 21,000 more troops to the civil war in Iraq. Why not send a much larger number? The original strategy was deeply flawed, and clearly one of the reasons was that far too few troops were sent.

Before the war began, on U.S. general said that it would take 'hundreads of thousands' of troops to occupy Iraq and 'win the peace'.

Tonight, I heard one expert say that about 250,000 troops would be realisitic in terms of what is required to do the job.

So why not return to the 'Powell Doctrine' and use overwhelming force, which tends to result in the quickest victories with the fewest losses.

But all Bush is doing is increasing troop numbers by about 15 percent.

What will this do? Will it work? Why doesn't Bush send far more, since that would probably be the best hope for success?

Also, at the time the Boulton Paul Defiants were being considered for the RAF, were there any protests raised about the unusual gun platform?

If Bush did not think of it, all aspects of war must be considered.

But where does it all end. Suppose by Christmas of 2007 the violence is reduced to minimum and the troops are back for Christmas.

A week later matter the Iraqi sectarian tribes start fighting each other again. Then what?

Like after my boyfriend graduated from basic last june, he was told he was going to be either deployed right away or wait over a year, depending on which division he was put in.

Well he was put in the one where he has to wait over a year.

Anyways, they had him scheduald to deploy not til august, can that change now that bush wants more troops? *where he is wasn't mentioned where they are deploying more troops from*

There is a petition to stop funding for the war in Iraq (Sen. John Edwards). I am tired of this crap. My husband is in the military , and for a looong time I was standing by our presidents side...not budging out of pure respect for our so called "leader"...Gung Ho American! Well, my patience has run VERY thin with this man and his "Plans"....I believe our troops SHOULD be returned home. What is everyones thoughts on this. ANd to get back to my question.....my worry is, can Bush still send troops over without funding? Will he do it regardless?
