3 QUESTIONS BUSH CANNOT HONESTLY answer?

Question

1. What is the USA Military's "JOB" in Iraq?
2. What qualifies as Getting the "JOB DONE"?
3. Since the poweful USA Military has been unable to prevent and reduce the violence in Iraq, realistically will the much less powerful Iraqi Army be able to "stand up & stop the violence"?

Answer 1

What's sad about the whole issue is that we shouldn't even be there right now anyway. Everyone knows the Bush Admin. knew that Iraq had no WMD's before going there to install an American friendly government. The whole invasion had been planned for years before 9/11. People must understand the the whole war on terror is a huge fallacy, with a sole purpose of controlling oil and drugs in Eurasia.
Besides, there's always been a war on terror... How do you think the United States of America started?
Our forefathers broke free from British oppression in the beginning of this great republic.

The real question remains, why have large corporations been allowed to control our economy, and why has the government been allowed to get away with allowing oil companies to rule our way of life?
This wouldn't even be a problem if the people of the US would stand up to our government, as our forefathers intended, and do the right thing with regard to alternative fuels. America needs to be independent from outside, and internal oil influences!!!

Answer 2

Some of these answers exemplify revisionist history at its very best.

Let's start with the old saw that we knew they never had WMD all along. If this is true then why in God's name didn't the French and the Russians shout it from the rooftops. They were both up to their eyeballs in the corruption that was the UN oil for food program, and they knew that at least some of it would come out if the U.S. invaded and overthrew the Hussein regime.

Answer: because Chirac and Putin had the same kind of intel that the U.S. and Great Britain had at the time. They both were certain that Iraq had biological and chemical weapons programs and that they were working on a nuclear weapons program.

Now how about the one that we are only over there for the oil. If this is true then why didn't Bush senior go across the river and take Hussein out back in 1991. The vast majority of the American public was behind him at the time; so I don't see why if "we are only over there for oil", he didn't do it then.

Oil is a commodity that is as critical to human civilization as the food supply, and it is part of the reason we are over there, but it isn't the only reason, and it isn't even close to being the major reason.

Our primary reason for being in Iraq, is an attempt by the Bush and Blair administrations to kill two birds with one stone. First we wanted to take out the Hussein administration as a destabilizing terrorist state, and second we wanted to help the Iraqi people to create some sort of representative form of government.

Before you go and yell about Iraq not being a terrorist state prior to the invasion, please remember that Saddam Hussein had long been providing payments of $25,000 a piece to the familys of suicide bombers in Israel. Now if you don't think that is a state that sponsors terrorism, I have some parcels of land I would like to sell you.

But we can't let facts get in the way can we? We believe that all businessmen are evil, and that rampant capitalism is the root cause of all that is wrong in the world. If some little trivial pieces of information contradict that theory, they must be blotted out, and the messengers who deliver this information must be destroyed!

Answer 3

2+2

Answer 4

I'm no Bush fan, but I try to look at things realistically. Here's what I think:

1) The military Job in Iraq is to help a democratic Iraq take charge, and be a peaceful, self-governing country. What's going on in Iraq is VERY similar to what happened in Japan after World War II. There were terrorists, and violence, and many years of instability. Now Japan is a thriving democracy, and is peaceful and prosperous. Check out the post World War II history of Japan... there are LOTS of similarities.

2) Nobody said it would be a quick job. From the very beginning, Bush said that the job would take many years. I think the Job Done will be when Iraqis can govern themselves and not be a threat to their neighbors or the rest of the world.

3) Again, check out what happened in Japan. Once the Iraquis see some prosperity and stability, they will rise up against the folks that are causing the trouble. A huge reason that they aren't helping stamp out the terrorists is because they are afraid that the US will pull out, and then the terrorists will come in and kill everyone who cooperated with the US. I think that since we're in there, we need to be true to our word and help out the people who are trying to help us.

That's my 2 cents worth. I wish all this unfortunate stuff wasn't happening, but pulling out would be a really, really, bad thing.

Answer 5

First of all, got some questions for you. If you're so high and mighty and he's doing sucha bad job.
1. Why aren't you doing something more than sitting on your can whining on the Internet?
2. Would you rather a president who was for the war, then against it, then for, then against, who burned someone else's medals, and who talked trash about the American people.
3. If America is so bad, then how come you still lhave the right to free speech so yo can get on here and make an idiot out of your self?
4. Why don't you leave if it's so terrible???

Now to answer your questions
1. OUR job is keeping the American people safe from attack, and freeing a nation who was being led by someone who would've attacked us
2. Getting the job done means when the nation is rebuilt with a democratic government.
3. We have reduced it seriously, and they have to take care of themselves too. The attacks that are still going on is hte last desperate death throws of a corrupt government

Answer 6

1.) The militarys "job" in Iraq is to protect the innocent people over there that are being killed. The militarys "job" in iraq is find the group responsible for killing millions of americans on Sept 11.
2.) Getting the job dones means securing Iraq and the safety of its innocent people. Getting the job done is finding people from the group responsible for 9-11.
3.) Thats just a special question for a special person. We arent over there so we can take over their country we are there to help them set up a stable lifestyle. Obviously you have never been to a country like that or ever thought about how bad it would be to live there. Or you would realize that yes there are suicide bombers that dont want us there but you have never seen the 1,000's of people cry and thank our soldiers for protecting them.

Answer 7

while war is necessary to maintain peace, we live in the modern ages when war has to be justified first because we have something today that didn't exist during 1016: DIPLOMACY. instead of waging war to have peace, Nation-States can co-exist in peace to prevent war. i do believe war is an answer to violent aggression, but it's not the only answer in this day and age. as for Civil War, what else can other countries do if it doesn't concern them anyway? "Peace Keeping" with the use of force? isn't that a bit of a contradiction? ever wondered the difference between a justifiable war, war that should have happened, and an idiot waging war? Justifiable War - the 1st Gulf War of George Bush (Sr.). Iraq attacks Kuwait, Kuwait calls for help, and the Americans lead the way to force Iraq out of Kuwait, and the UN punishes Iraq with all these trade embargoes. War That Should Have Happened - the Iran hostage crisis. Iran violates international law and the US does nothing even if it's reason enough to wage war. Idiot Waging War - Gulf War 2 by that other Bush. US claims Iraq has chemical/biological weapons and harbors Al Qaeda Terrorists. UN says no, but the US went to war anyway on that premise. it's like giving every country in the world two middle fingers.

Answer 8

1. The job is to protect Iraq until the governnment can protect itself

2. See answer 1

3. No. With raids and sweeps, they will be able to capture the terroists. Plus, with fellow Iraqis controlling the government, the people will like the government more.

Answer 9

1- To help them take their country back from Al Queda, so they can continue to hold free elections.
2- Being at that point that they have uncorrupted police & military. so they can live lives where freedom is not a death penalty.
3- The number of deaths is Iraq is less than 10% of what it was under Saddam. Yes they can be trained & with the help of other nations overseeing standup for freedom. ( the other nations have already agreed) Are you saying we should leave knowing they will be "slaughtered" by Al Queda?

If I can answer them & President Bush has hundreds of advisors, I will bet he too knows the answers.

Are you the only one who does know the answers?

Answer 10

1) To train and ready the Iraqi forces. (The majority of US forces in Iraq know why they are there and support the cause.)

2) The Iraqi government is established and settled. The Iraqi police/military is in full force.

3) Most of the country is peaceful You only hear (thanks to the lovely media) about the small % of the country that is actually still violent.
