Should 'shock and awe' have lasted longer?

Question

Should Bush have followed Clintons stradegy in Serbia and bombed for 93 days straight?

Would the war be over already?

Answer 1

Although I've been against this war since the beginning (we should have focused on Afghanistan)...

Since we went in the with "the Army we had, not the Army we wanted" to paraphrase Rumsfeld, I think Bush et al completely misjudged what the operation would entail. It should have been a much bigger strike force; our troops lost control early on.

Of course, if we'd stayed in Afghanistan and not followed Bush's wet dream to get the guy "who tried to kill my dad," we would have captured bin Laden and kept the Taliban down.

Answer 2

I think the Iraqi's have been showing all the Shock and Awe for the past 3 years. Bush blows his in a week!

The war would have been over if Bush didn't turn down requests from field commanders at the start of the insurgency for additional troops! About 3 times as were there! Now they have lost control because they didn't get a handle on it!

They should have let a few Sargent's and Gunny's conduct the strategy, not perfumed princesses!

Answer 3

Clinton was just getting rid of the rusted old bombs left over because the first gulf war only lasted a short time. GW Bush's display cost a lot more money.

Answer 4

I thought Bush did great with the war, it is the occupation he sucks at just like the experts told him, house to house combat. Bush should of pulled out when the Iraqis were throwing flowers instead of grenades in the beginning.

Answer 5

YUP, and Bagdahd should be a parking lot.
