Iraq: Who is right,the cut and runners or Stand and fighters?

Question

We are at war,this is not a police action, If nothing else try and remember those people in that plane in Pennslyvania who knew they were going to die. Yet gave their lives for you and I.
P.S. Bush was not flying the plane!

Answer 1

I think the stand and fight attitude is the right way to go. We already cut and ran once and left behind a mess that caused a lot of people harm. Let's finish what we started this time! We are at war and the ones who started this came onto our soil and killed a lot of our people!

Answer 2

There wasn't anybody from Iraq on the plane over Pennslyvania, or any of the other hijacked planes on 9/11.

Turn off FAUX news. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11.

It's time for the U.S. to get out of Iraq and go find Bin Laden. He has been at large longer than the U.S. was in World War II. Bush is a failure.

Answer 3

Neither side is right; both are wrong. (I know it's hard for Americans to understand that both could be wrong, because Americans are like children who believe only in the law of excluded middle, i.e., one side must be right, but...)

Now, let's admit that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, because Bush had already decided long before he even became president to invade Iraq. It had little do to with Saddam, and was intended to show his father up--the little boy who never grew up. That said, the US got into the war and cannot now cut and run. On the other hand, the American people don't know that the troops are being attacked every 15 minutes of every day and are being slaughtered, so stand and fight is no good either.

The insurgents (Iraqi patriots, who hate invaders and occupation forces, no matter whose) would love nothing better than to have the Americans stand and fight (and get slaughtered) and eventually have to wothdraw with their tails between their legs--if they still had legs. So, the insurgents want the Americans to stay and fight. A victory over the Americans would be better than 72 virgins any time.

But pulling out would leave Iraq in one hell of a mess, with the Kurds, who want independence, being slaughtered by the Turks; the Shiites joining up with Iran, and the Sunnis (the moderate, secular Muslims) also getting slaughtered. Civil war. Civil war that would most likely result in the Shiites taking over and establishing an Iran-like state right next to Saudi Arabia (and all that oil).

So, what's to be done? Stand and fight and lose? Or cut and run and lose? Well, now, you didn't ask for a solution, you just asked which side was right.

Answer 4

What did that plane have to do with Iraq? There was never and never will be a link to 9/11/ terrorism in general and the country of Iraq. The problem with Iraq is the administration went in with the "best case scenario" intelligence and ignored everything else. There were warnings, even from their own administration (Powell) that securing Iraq would take many more troops. Yet, they ignored anybody that spoke against them and proceeded to make a mess out of the country, make the region less stable, and make the world a more dangerous place.

Answer 5

There were no Iraqi's on that plane or any of the other planes that day either. Have you not heard Bush say we were wrong about WMD, but Sadam is such a bad guy he needed to be gotten rid of anyway?

We had no right to invade Iraq and we need to come home. That is not running. It is admitting we were wrong and cutting our losses. Did you hear the news yesterday that terrorism has increased because of this war?

Watch 60 minutes Sunday evening and maybe you will learn something. Your question makes you sound very ignorant.

Answer 6

~The folks on the plane over Pa. were dead meat regardless of where the plane came came down. They knew it. That knowledge must have made it easier for the few who acted to commit suicide in lieu of being murdered. They didn't do it for me. I was no where near any of the targets at the time.

As to the people who have chosen to stand and fight, they are heroic. Their homeland was invaded by imperialist armies from the US and UK in an illegal action condemned by the world at large and they have decided to protect their homes and way of life. I suppose if they were allies, you would call them heroes and patriots, but since the are the target of your beloved uncle sammy, they are terrorists and criminals. No, Georgie was not flying the four 9-11 planes that killed a few thousand innocent civilians. He was the commander in chief of the planes and tanks that killed a few hundred thousand. I think of them, too, and then wonder why the US is despised so by the rest of the world.

Answer 7

sure, Reagan cut back and ran in Beirut, and Clinton cut back and ran from Somalia, and that changed into the incorrect element to do in both situations. i do not understand what number Lebanese would have be killed if we had went after Hezbollah perfect then, after we ought to continually have. in spite of the indisputable fact that the conflict that only killed 1000 of them wouldn't have occurred. If Reagan had no longer cut back and run in Beirut possibly we would have by no skill wound up in Somalia. And Osama as a lot as suggested if we hadn't cut back and run in Somalia, enable the bombers of the embassy in Africa flow unpunished, and the bombers of the U.S. Cole flow unpunished, the 9/11 attacks would by no skill have occurred. The others are perfect to boot, both Johnson and Nixon cut back and run from Vietnam which fee a million lives in Cambodia and unknown variety in Vietnam. And that reality supplies the terrorist we wrestle now wish that we will supply up and they're going to win. the distinction is after we supply up in Vietnam, Vietnamese, Laotians died. If we supply up now it will be human beings that pay the price. reality is each and anytime we cut back and run it makes the international extra risky. in some unspecified time sooner or later we ought to face and wrestle. So the Democrats that are preaching cut back and run now are risking the international locations destiny for couple of minutes period political income, and maximum glaring human beings can see that for the cynical political ploy that it really is.

Answer 8

The problem in the Middle-East is Islam. Their goofy religion is the cause of all this violence. Anybody who says this is not true lives on a pink cloud in the liberal la-la-land.

Bill Clinton sat on his butt and did nothing while Muslims blew up our embassies in Africa. That's the Liberal approach.

The only thing sadder than a crazy muslim killing for allah and virgins, are the liberals that defend them. The liberals have provided the muslims with their best propaganda.

Answer 9

The Way of the Warrior teaches that sometimes one must
fight in order to protect onesself. Sometimes we must go to
war.
But once you've made your point. That you will not allow yourself
to be run over, and have your people killed. The Warrior knows
when to put an end to the fighting.
