Why Don't We Leave Iraqi Troops To "Their Own Devices" As Suggested by Iraq Prime Minister?

Question

BAGHDAD: AP OCtober 28, 2006 Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said he thought that Iraqi troops, left to their own devices, could re-establish order in Iraq in six months, not the 12 to 18 months that top U.S. commander Gen. William Casey had predicted Tuesday.

I imagine he would not say this if he didn't believe it could be done. Why not either get out or stay completely out of line of fire and let the Iraqis take care of their own. Civil war you say? What could possibly be worse than it is now. AND it would save an unnecessary loss of American troop lives

Answer 1

He is probably right...and no one in the US government will listen to him because they are all too stupid to know when to get the hell out...see Vietnam and Korea....

Answer 2

Nouri al-Maliki made some good factors in his rebuttal to the president. He needs more effective guns, and larger aggressive preparation. I certainly do not see how we can deliver this conflict to an end without stepping up our help logistically and financially. this isn't a skirmish which will go away any time quickly. those human beings (those who hate the west) are hell bent on destroying us. they'll not in any respect go away if left to their own gadgets. we ought to empower those contained in the final public who use difficulty-loose experience particularly than religious fanaticism to workout consultation this cluster **** of a challenge.

Answer 3

Then what about our oil, the biggest Embassy in the world, our Army bases and contruction contracts and all the other reasons we went there in the first place?

Answer 4

mmm... the usa started the war..so us troops should stay the course.. and don't leave the people sort out what mess the war they started did..

and they should not leave just to save more America usa troops//when they started the whole thing
