Will the extra troops help Baghdad? Will the USA troops still get a beating?

Question

U.S. enforcements arrive in Baghdad By SALAHEDDIN, Press Writer

BAGHDAD, - U.S. reinforcements sent to Baghdad to help quell sectarian violence and clamp down on other attacks took up positions in a restive neighborhood Saturday, while two bombs at a market northeast of the city wounded eight people.

The 3,700 soldiers of the Army's 172nd Stryker Brigade moved in from the northern city of Mosul to bolster U.S. and Iraqi security forces already in the city. However, there's already 60,000 troops there so it will not make much of a difference.

Several Stryker armored fighting vehicles were seen Saturday in Baghdad's mostly Sunni neighborhood of Ghazaliyah in the western part. Iraqi police used loudspeakers to encourage residents to go about their business and reopen shops.

Dozens of people are killed almost every day in due to the civil war in Iraq. The USA military has not been able to beat the insurgents. The USA troops have been eating crow and sucking shame.

Answer 1

YES! As soon as we gather all our troops and then light em up like the Fourth of July, only this time using real Shock and Awe strategy

Hit them from the sky I say then our troops don't have to die

Answer 2

It takes a real coward to sit here and criticize/call them names. How about getting your butt on a plane and going over there to show them how it's done.
The US military HAS made changes over there. It's time you stopped reading the media and talk to some people who have been or are there. I know some in the 172nd. TWICE where they were put within 6 months violence was cut down. I guess if that's sucking shame you need to go show them the right way. Take a few hundred of your fellow critics with you too.

Answer 3

hey look! Sh it for brains is back. In spite of who is asking the question, a good point is raised.

It makes absolutely no sense for the US to attempt to quell a sectarian outbreak. It is beginning to look like an absolute lost cause to try helping people who refuse to cooperate or help them selves. Even if we succeed in keeping the factions apart, neither side is our friend.
The Shiite's are the cheering section for Hezbollah, along with that damn renegade Sadr. The Sunni's are in bed with the insurgentswho are hell bent on killing more Americans, and both sides have the US troops running around putting out fires (busy work).
Is this an example of Rumsfeld genius? He really needs to go!

Answer 4

I don't think it could be called a civil war, after all US is involved. It is an invasion, USA being the invador. Unless, the invador leaves, or manages to subdue all the locals, the fight will continue.

Extra troops will not help, it will only creat more tension. Worst, it might agitate Iraq's neighbors into action. Iran is not going to like US massing troops so close to its boarder. Besides, with Isreal invading Lebanon, the action might seem as if US taking sides.

Answer 5

We are just sending more young men and women to have their guts splattered all over the land of Sodom and Gomorrah .The irainians will just infiltrate more sappers and bleed us a little more each day. The Irainians love the fact we're sending in more meat for their Russian trained terror soldiers to shread to ribbons . Until we do a multiple nuke hit on Tehran and stop this lunacy the government of the United States will continue to donate America young blood to the sands of Iraq . When johnny comes marching home again do not startle him in any way , you might finds your guts on the floor.

Answer 6

no
