What is the clear path to victory?

Question

in Iraq? How will it be realized? When will it be accomplished? What will it look like?

Answer 1

When we find the WMD's that we know are there. Oops, mission accomplished, oops again, when we find Saddam, been there done that, Oops. When the Iraqi can be trained to take care of themselves is the answer, Bush said, of course he said all of those other things and many more. The truth is when we elect a congress that will stand up to him. Cut off the funding and bring the people home. That will be a clear path to victory.

Answer 2

We must commit atleast a million troops to Iraq and begin many flights over the area .Close all traffic between cities and deliver fod medicine and supplys to central secured locations .All shipments must be checked for contraban if we are to win .
I still feel we should pack up and go home that this is not going to work anyhow no matter how much longer we stay unless it is permenent and we did not agree to that in the beggining .

Answer 3

First, victory needs to be defined. The only definition given so far is the establishment of a democratic, representative government that is not vulnerable to overthrow from within or attack from without.

That hasn't existed in the history of the country, so we have no idea what it would look like. Heck, even the US can barely achieve a democratic, representative government that is not vulnerable to overthrow from within.... and it was less than a century before we had to quell the first civil war. And while the US haven't broken out in open sectarian violence, our polarization makes us nowhere near truly stable or representative.

So, assuming that Iraq can do as well as we can... expect a decade of war, followed by several more decades of armed revolts and attacks, and about a century before it is semi-stable. And at least one or two more centuries after that, if all goes well, before it is no longer tearing itself apart.

I actually liked one solution I heard, which is to allow the country to fragment into separate parts of the different sectarian groups. Don't try for one central federalist government. That has the best chance of being able to occur in under a decade, which leaves just the normal rivalry between neighboring countries in the region.

Answer 4

You need to be in a war to win a victory. This is an invasion. The only way for Iraq to win against the invaders is the get the Americans out.

Answer 5

The path is never clear and now it looks like the path is getting too narrow

Answer 6

Destruction of all of the Islamo-Fascist terrorists and a declaration of war made by Congress on Iran and Syria
for supporting the terrorists who are in Iraq*iraq and Afghanistan and who have terror cells in the USA , UK,
Indonesia, Phillipines, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and in
Europe. Also in Asia.

Answer 7

There is no 'clear path to victory' in this war. This is the 'original world war'. We've been keeping Muslims from trying to take over the world since the crusades. What, you thought that the crusades were just fanatic Christians charging off into Europe, raping and plundering? No, as long as the 'religion of peace' exists...no one is safe. All of this is nothing new ....read your history...

Answer 9

After all our troops get out of Iraq and the president stop messin' with others countries... A new president would be a good idea.

Answer 10

If Bush KNEW, we would no longer be there.
