Republicans say Democrats have NO plan( re: Iraq)......but what exactly is the Rep plan?

Question

I hear and see nothing but chaos.....and while it's true the Dems have yet to come up with a viable plan......the Rep haven't either.

I am an independent and was hoping by election time...one side would have said or suggested something re: Iraq.

I am not looking for something that gives a date to pull out( remember "benchmarks" not a timeline...lol)...but I happen to agree with that.

These kids(solidiers) are dying pretty fast....and police and military(Iraq's) is far from stable.....can we realistically sustain this weird limbo we are in over there?....I don't think so.....why instead of fighting over the time when we would/should leave......come up with something to get Iraq up and running so to speak.

Answer 1

The Republican plan seems to be "stay the course"--in other words, more of the same that isn't working. I also do not know a Democrat plan. I wish I could feel good about supporting a politician, ranther than just using my vote AGAINST a candidate.

Answer 2

The war is the best way to defund our gov't and the chaos created keeps the racket in place. The war profiteers are the same people that have been controlling our social and foreign policy. It's a race to the bottom. Just watch and see how the Dems will cut the flow of cash to these modern day robber barons and redistribute our wealth to where it's needed most--here in the homeland. There is no viable plan to get out to be had when your not in power to make the call. Any plan is better the current plan. DIPLOMACY is the lost art that the Dems will bring back into the fold of this crisis. The Dems have a plan, sure it would be a great idea to let it be known, but why do that when the publickends would never go along with it, yet they would steal any of the popular contents of it and use it for their own gain--that's the problem. Stay tuned.....

Answer 3

Right we're still waiting for the Iraqi's to be on their own right? Three years after we were told "When the Iraqi's stand up we will stand down". Meanwhile the country is moving closer and closer to civil war, and the new GOP talking point is more talk. no action.

The Dems have not come up with a plan either, I think in most cases its hard for the party to conform to a concise, single policy. You may fault that style, but compared to the sheep within the GOP that hide behind Bush's skirt. I welcome the idea that our party as several different point of views. I see nothing wrong with Mertha's plan, but I'm sure there are others that could work. THIS plan, isn't

Answer 4

Our beloved President has stated the answer to your question over and over "Stay the Course". Seems like a reasonable answer if we were not engaged in a Cival War of a nation that does not appreciate our interference.

Iraq is a tragedy on so many different levals that it's difficult to pin down just one. I could mention the 1000 Iraqi civilians killled each month, or the 96 American soldiers murdered so far in October. But those are just statistics, and have no bearing on the Republican "plan".

The Reps have no plan, except to enagage in furthur blood letting and tarnishing of the U.S. reputation around the globe.

Answer 5

The Republicans have no plan, other than to continue to escalate the war so that the giant U.S. military-industrial complex can continue reaping enormous profits at any cost.
Following World War II, armaments manufacturers recognized how profitable war could be; so they bought up all the politicians they could, formed special interest groups that promoted and encouraged 'war', and hired pricey lobbyists to scare the government into believing we needed a huge military build-up to protect us from all the evil in the world.
The nameless, faceless sub-humans who actually control out government behind-the-scenes then got us involved inthe Korean Conflict; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War; the Vietnam War; and Desert Storm. By 2000, it was time for a new 'war' to prop up sagging profits at McDonnell-Douglas, Boeing, and all the other government suppliers and contractors.
Besides, George H.W. Bush had joined the Carlyle Group as soon as he left office, and it was imperative that his new venture became one of the government's top contractors (which it did, very quickly, thanks in part to the Bush dynasty and also because families like the binLadens had invested millions in the new business).
So a 'terrorist' attack was perpetrated on U.S. soil (immediately after which Carlyle Group investors were flown back to Saudi Arabia on private U.S. government planes). That was reason enough to illegally and unconstitutionally attack Iraq for only two reasons: 1) Bush's family had a vendetta against Hussen from the days of Desert Storm when George H.W. Bush couldn't 'finish the job' and kill Hussein; 2) **** Cheney wanted all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so he and his buddies at Exxon-Mobil could reap $10-billion-dollar-per-quarter profits.

If the Bush administration really believes we'll withdraw from Iraq by 2009, why is the U.S.A. building the largest embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad overlooking the modest headquarters of the 'new' puppet Iraqi government which Bush and Cheney installed?????

Republicans have NO plans to leave Iraq anytime soon - not until all of that country's OIL is sucked out of the sand. The plan is to invade Iran before the spring of 2007, for the very same reason: all those rich fields of easily-accessible OIL on which the corporate world has made Americans so dependent.
The Democrats have NO plans to leave Iraq anytime soon - not until all of that country's OIL is sucked out of the sand. While I doubt the Democrats have yet devised any plans to invade Iran, if they capture control of Congress next month, the corporate dictators will certainly give the Democrats their marching orders. -RKO-

Answer 6

Iraq was a big mistake. Republicans and democrats want to turn that messy situation over to their own ( forced) government.

Democrats are good at fighting wars. Democrats have far more veterans who have actually fought in a war than republicans have.

All the propaganda about "liberals" being weak is just a bunch of lies. Most people who fought WWII are Democrats.

Answer 7

Iraq is not important to me. Do what you want; report me, thumbs down me, but I find Iraq of little to no importance. But just running isn't going to solve anything. We need to, however, find a way to slowly withdrawl or take attention off Iraq so we can focus it on N. Korea and Darfur.

Answer 8

The Republican's plan is to send more troops there. Bush said he is not setting any timetable so he doesn't plan on getting out of there anytime soon.

Answer 9

To stay the course and get the up and running their own govt. Seems like iraqis want us there because they dont want to take over responsibility. Grow up Iraq.

Answer 10

You see no plan because you refuse to look. It's only chaos in certain areas spurred on by the agents of Iran and Syria who are encouraged to continue their tactics by Americans who continually snipe at the President and present a disunified front.
