What is Iraq coming to? Is it a lost cause? Who is to blame in your opinion?

Answer 1

We shouldn't be there. We only made bad matters WORSE.

Answer 2

I think Iraq has been an unstable country for centuries and will continue to be for many years to come . Basically there are too many religious factions that genuinely hate one another and the people will not move on from slights perceived that happened centuries ago . I feel it is a lost cause because of the longevity of the problem and the Iraqi people their selves unwillingness to move on and change the status quot . We have seen so many wars based on Religious differences that the future may only hold an escalation to the point of nuclear genocide at some point in the middle east region . The Iraqi people themselves are to blame for the self induced mess they have suffered for so long and not found a solution . However our President should be held fully accountable for getting us involved on false pretenses , he had the opportunity to be straight with us and merely state his uncertainties about weapons of mass destruction and the cost of it all and our potential for success . He has also been ill advised by his cabinet members who should have shown more restraint and a thought process before allowing such an engagement to begin . For the extent and cost to the American people I feel he's more than earned immediate impeachment proceedings for crimes against humanity and violating our constitution , the Geneva convention and the war powers act . Staying the course of George W. Bush is a failure of the judicial system of our country .

Answer 3

I disagree with you in regards to Iraq being a lost cause. Just because it hasn't been as smooth as we like there has been tremendous progress there. The insurgents are the ones keeping us there. I think if you look at the progress objectively instead of what CNN tells you, you will see that we will soon be able to pull out. We stuck to the plan, or as you all hate to hear "We stayed the course". Iraq has taken over leadership of their security forces, the Iraqi leader has had dialog with Iran in regards to said insurgents, and once we get that under control, then we can come on home. Saddam is the only blame for Iraq. period.

Answer 4

iraq is the "new vietnam" ( i hope i am wrong, because that would mean alot of deaths in vain) or it is the beginning of a bigger problem (as soon as we find out who's supplying the insurgents with ammo)
it's not a lost cause yet, but if Iran and syria come into the pic.. OH SSHIIT!
No one is to blame.. but france, belgium, and russia were alone is saying not to go in.. they wanted more proof of WMD.. no one here in the states asked for more proof.

it was timing.. sept 11th clouded most people's judgement and the powers that be took advantage of that.

but what do i know?

Answer 5

To insinuate evil motive from the mercy flights of bin Laden family members and Saudi royals after 9/11 shows the sickness of the conspiratorial mindset.

Le Figaro’s report in October 2001, known to have originated with French intelligence, that the CIA met Osama bin Laden in a Dubai hospital in July 2001, proves again the perfidy of the French.

That the tape in which bin Laden claims responsibility for the attacks was released by the State Department after having been found providentially by US forces in Afghanistan, and depicts a fattened Osama with a broader face and a flatter nose, proves Osama, and Osama alone, masterminded 9/11.

That at the battle of Tora Bora, where bin Laden was surrounded on three sides, Special Forces received no order to advance and capture him and were forced to stand and watch as two Russian-made helicopters flew into the area where bin Laden was believed hiding, loaded up passengers and returned to Pakistan, demonstrates how confusing the modern battlefield can be.

That upon returning to Fort Bragg from Tora Bora, the same Special Operations troops who had been stood down from capturing bin Laden, suffered a unusual spree of murder/suicides, is nothing more than a series of senseless tragedies.

Reports that bin Laden is currently receiving periodic dialysis treatment in a Pakistani medical hospital are simply too incredible to be true.

That the White House went on Cipro September 11 shows the foresightedness of America’s emergency response.

Answer 6

It seems they were better off with a dictator than with a civil war and people dying in bombings everyday. Plus, they are defending their natural resources like any country would. It is difficult to believe that they would surrender so easily to the desires of Bush wanting to keep their oil. Bush will end up retreating, but he won't admit he was wrong because he is too stubborn and ignorant.

Answer 7

the cia is the ones you should blame and you cant win a war by killing people. the only way is improve the iraqi people living standards. the american version of democracy in iraq sucks. this is what america calls democracy killing people and puting exonmobile in charge of the oil fields how pathetic. no one will win in iraq only the cia will win because they got what they want.

Answer 8

I would consider it a success, we have managed to capture, kill, and interrogate so many non-Iraqi terrorists since we have been there that we have made HUGE strides in the war on terror. Guess you must think our troops are a bunch of poor little wimps.

Answer 9

If we lose it will be because of the Americans who don't want us to win. Because of their own little selfish political reasons.

Answer 10

Saddam...shouldn't have been ruler in the first place.
