Won't increasing the number of troops in Iraq make it even harder to leave, once we decide to?

Answer 1

according to the new war monger in chief gates, we wont be leaving for a long while ... and i fully expect iran to be attacked within this year sometime ...

Answer 2

When did the war against Germany end? We still have troops there. Korea was over 50 years ago and we have troops there. Are you getting the picture. We will probably have troops in Iraq or somewhere nearby for the rest of your life.

Answer 3

Amazingly enough, it will actually make it easier to pull EVERYBODY out and bring them home. Think of it this way. You need to build a house. You could do it with a friend or two and a few claw hammers. It would take you a year or two -- fighting the weather. OR, you could bring in 300 guys with pneumatic nail drivers and have it built in a week. Bring in a large enough crew and the weather is no longer a factor with which you'd have to contend. The quip about a "War Monger" is made by someone who has no concept of reality or what is truly at stake. Just another childish name caller.

Answer 4

Our departure depends on the security of the country. If it would take more troops to secure the Baghdad area then an nicrease in troops in the short term would help us pull out sooner in the long term...in theory. I just hope the insurgents are reading the same theory.

Answer 5

Yes, it will make it harder to leave, unless of course things continue the way the are going and the troop level will decrease because of the fatality rates. That's why, in my opinion, it's best to leave now and enact a national government.

Answer 6

Yes, most likely.

Answer 7

It's so complicated.
I'm glad it's none of my business.

Answer 8

No
