More American dead in Iraq than for the twin towers, but Bush asks 4more soldiers.What do you think?

Answer 1

i think that he is a stupid parson who likes his self more than his own country and people.he doesn't care about the US soldiers or their families.all he wants is oil using the name of democracy as a cover.and i think that a day will come when he is going to ask the American nation for forgiveness and mercy.

Answer 2

The American public is not used to guerilla warfare yet it is the Americans themselves who were the originators of guerilla warfare when they licked the Redcoats.

I really think Rich B ought to head the Pentagon at least; you cannot fight this type of war (it's the kind of war America will have to fight in future) worrying about casualties because this is exactly what's happening in Iraq, Afghanistan. No more set-piece contests of uniformed armies. Just slow drip draining your resolve and it has worked in favor of the enemy (Nov election proved it).

If you had done it right the 1st time, you would not need this Iraq2. I think the troops in Iraq need more than what the President intended. 20, 40 thousand more is not enough for a decisive outcome. Gen Tommy Franks asked for much more at the onset but Rumsfeld downsized him by at least 50%.

No matter how much PR, or humanitarian aid the US deliver in Iraq, Lebanon, or Indonesia... all it takes is an Abu Graib, or an Arab family massacred to turn the US public and the rest of the hypocritical world against US government and troops. Hey, we're all watching it 'live' buddy. Al-Jazeera is also embedded with US troops in Iraq. The days of kicking asszz without worrying about being videoed is long gone.

Half measures like 4more soldiers does not spell American resolve and commitment. I am not pro-war. Nothing would please me more than see all US troops back home ASAP.

Answer 3

Well....my first thought is that there's really no connection between military deaths in Iraq and the 9/11 deaths, since Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. I grow tired of saying this over and over since it seems a lot of us were deluded into believing there is a connection by Bush and his henchmen. ...sigh... Honestly, I'm of several minds about this. On the one hand, military advisors said from the very beginning of this mess that the proposed troop levels were way too low, but the Bush Administration disregarded their good advice and went to war anyway. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said a while back that with the troop levels we have there now, we're just playing "Whack-A-Mole" with the terrorists--we push them down in one area and they pop up in another. I wholeheartedly agree. On the other hand, as the mom of a not-quite-19-year-old soldier who was just told his unit's in the deployment rotation for FY '08 I want us to get out of there NOW. Not just selfishly, because I don't want my own son to go, but because I don't want ANYONE'S son or daughter killed over there for no good reason. That's the emotional side of me talking. It seems to me that we're in an untenable position if we let the pendulum swing too much either way: if we suddenly pull out all our troops and leave, the terrorists will call us cowards and claim victory; if we increase our troop levels ("boots on the ground" as the media likes to say) the fighting will no doubt increase, as will the casualties. In the middle are the reasonable voices--among them my U.S. Representative, Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), now the Chair of the House Armed Services Committee--calling for one U.S. brigade to come home for every three Iraqi brigades that are trained. This solution is not without its problems as well, largely because the reality is that the Iraqi troops are reluctant to accept responsibility for the security of their own country. However, it seems the best proposal among our many bad choices.

Answer 4

You supply "information" yet do no longer help them with any source. final time I checked the stats, which replaced into in basic terms some days in the past, the twin Towers lost extra human beings than we've lost in Iraq. What do I plan on doing in November? balloting for the social gathering who won't make us seem as though wimps as quickly as extra through cutting and working. (Somalia, every person?) Do I believe each thing Bush has accomplished? of direction no longer. i do no longer even believe my husband all of the time, and that i admire him. yet do i think of the Democrats have the respond? No - all I hear from them is how our defense force are not as much as snuff. LOL and because whilst are precise-wingers generally happening for smoking pot? yet yet another "actuality" which you screwed up! As for this evenings entertainment activities, do no longer hardship. My astounding, crimson-blooded, precise-leaning American husband has no issues in that branch.

Answer 5

Why are we so much into numbers. on D-DAY we lost 1,500 good men in the invasion of OMAHA BEACH. That was 1 day, In Vietnam my unit lost 26 good soldiers in 1 day. That is what happens in war People die. The trick is to make sure the enemy suffers more then you do.This war is not a conventional war. In most wars you take out every thing in your path. Yes we burned whole villages in Nam but only those that were harboring the VC. I lost three of my best friends trying to go into one of those villages War is HELL & even more when you are a kid of 18 ( which I was)& forced to kill to live. I was 19 when I left Nam , but felt 40. You grow up fast in combat. I do not know how this war will end but I say the " Cut & Run" policy ends here. We ran from Vietnam, Somila, and yes Korea. That war is not over only in a time out. We have not won a war since we droped the bomb on Japan, Maybe we should get back to basics & fight to WIN//. I agree 100% with RICH B. & JANICE H. We put to much in to numbers .

Answer 6

For all of those who answered this question by stating that "one has nothing to do with the other"

Fighting a war on terror had nothing to do with Iraq either.

Yet here we are nearly 4 years later and the Bush administration still doesn't have a clue of the mess they have made or what to do now.

Answer 7

What ever it takes to destroy Al-Qaida and the Islamic militants. Also to seal off the border with Syria and shut Iran down too. Since that is who is backing the war there and the Militias. Islamic Militants want to take over the Middle east North Africa and according to them Spain. Have you read how they treat people? They executed the people of Somalia for not praying 5 times a day, selling any kind of stimulant, or playing any kind of western music. How much of the world and the worlds oil to you want to let them control? How many people are you going to let them murder? Or is it as long as it is not in your backyard and it is not you you don't care?

Answer 8

Why did we go in there in the first place? Because we were all duped into thinking Saddam had WMD, they were never found and now there's a man running aroung still promoting terror, Bin Laden. There should be a force sent to take out the war monger BUSH. At least we all kow what he did...lied, cheated, and promoted terror in another country, sounds like a terrorist to me.

Answer 9

I think for a functional plan to work there would need to be more soldiers to secure the larger provinces within Iraq. However, he doesnt have a plan.

Answer 10

now it is time to withdraw forces from Iraq. all the democratic, peace loving forces in the world bring pressure on the USA to completely pull out it's forces. Saddam was awarded capital punishment for killing about 148 people but after Iraq was invaded by the USA, thousands of Iraqis and American soldiers died.
