Since we are having so many problems securing Baghdad, why not evacuate the city and then let people back in once the city is secure? I know it would be a huge undertaking but seems like it would be a way to save lives in the long run.

If there was a place to evacuate it would be NEW ATLANTIS ( NEW ORLEANS) or DC.
Actually if you think about it, keeping the problems in Baghdad is a good thing. It's better to keep them is a small area rather than the whole country. Northern Iraq is rather quiet. The British run South is rather calm as well.
PS. Yep, One problem. Desert is worthless. Oil is priceless.
Who wants land they can't make money on?

Evacuating does not mean putting the people in a vacuum until the city is secure, I hope you realize that.
Take all the residents of Baghdad to the outskirts, then the American army can enter the city and be surrounded by possible combatants. Makes sense?

That's so retarded I don't even know where to start. First of all, where the hell would they go?
Second, do you know how these insurgents fight? They lob mortars and rockets at us, then run away. They use children to stand in the roads to block convoys. If we evacuated Baghdad, their would be NO ONE to fight, because the insurgents would probably pretend they were normal citizens and flee as well.

OK....we evacuate the city....everybody (the good guys and the bad guys) all go to wherever you propose for however long you propose.
Next....everybody (yep....good and bad) returns.
What have we accomplished here?
It would be nice if things could be solved so easily

Sounds like a plan to me. If the insurgents flee then that means they would not be in the city any longer.

A city IS its people; if you evacuate it there would be NOTHING TO SECURE!

bad idea rethink what you proposed.
Only way is to get a message to the normal people to turn in the bad guys. We should take no prisoners they only come back to haunt us anyway.
