For the same reason we are losing control over our country in the US. Failure to secure the border in Iraq from the insurgents. And now here from the constant onslaught of people who cross our border everyday..

My husband wrote this on his website. He is currently an officer in the military and is serving in Iraq.


Not a war, but reconstruction

One of the things I've noticed about the coverage of the war in Iraq, back in the US, is the absolutely negative way in which everything connected to it is being portrayed. This includes the media, and members of both political parties. And it comes from people who lack a very basic knowledge of the region or its people. Read this article on CNN for an example. Now, I understand that not every American knows that Al Qaeda is a Sunni organization, but shouldn't the guy who will be heading up the House Intelligence Committee know this?? Seriously... and these politicians are the ones telling us we're "losing."

What bothers me is the way that members of both parties have, a) Turned the war political, and b) Begun to talk about winning or losing in ways that we cannot. Coming back to the States for a bit, and seeing the TV coverage blows me away. What's getting lost in the mix are the Iraqis.

Let me offer a different way of thinking about this: We won the war in Iraq. Yes, past tense: we won. You see, militarily, we invaded Iraq, defeated their Army, and captured their leadership. On this point, we had a crushing and overwhelming victory. No questions about it. We did what we said we were going to do: invaded the country and deposed Saddam (remember, right before the war started, we gave Saddam 48 hours to leave office), and we inforced the weapons inspections. That was the "war." We won that.

What is happening now is the reconstruction and reconstitution of Iraq. In other words: putting it back together. We helped the Iraqis democratically elect a government. Check. We have trained and Army and Police Force. Check. The problem is that the government and military of Iraq are not doing a good job. That is the point on which things are failing. We have to stop thinking about this phase as winning or losing a war.

Over the past two years, we had one political party (the Democrats) pretending that nothing was going right over there, and we had the other political party (the Republicans) pretending that everything was going right over there. (In other words, BOTH are to blame) In the meantime, the Iraqis get hurt by our own self-obsession.

Things are failing because we have been so self-focused that we have failed to stop and ask "what do we need to do to improve the situation?" We have sat and argued about pre-war intelligence, about whether we should call it a civil war or not, about whether the Iraq war is part of the greater war on terror or a separate war, etc. In the meantime, we seem to have forgotten about.... the Iraqis.

What I find interesting about the Iraq Study Group report- which works under the assumption that we're "losing"- is that the people who seem to object to the report the most are the Iraqis. The reason: I think they see that America is getting bored, and is getting ready to leave them in a precarious position. It's kind of like a mother having a baby, and wondering why the baby isn't full grown after three years, and deciding that the best option would be to send the baby off on his own.

Answer 3

Ok, here we go. First off, it is not a "war" per se. It is now a peace keeping mission. Second, the real war is between the Sunni and She'a with the U.S. directly in the middle. So, what we have is pretty much a gang war, Sunni Vs. She'a. We have two choices as Americans. One, pull out and let them duke it out, or two, set up a dictatorship with strict rules and Marshall Law and slowly let up giving certain freedoms until things are resolved. The latter isn't going to work because we will basicly have to take over the country (hostile takeover?)and that will upset alot of people. So I say, to achieve peace in Iraq, let them have thier own revolutionary war; sit back and if we absoilutly need to have our dirty finger in it, we can hold in Kuwait and be the referees.

Answer 4

First of all Bush doesn't care what is happening in Iraq, he is just look for instability of the middle-east, otherwise why he sent so much ammunition to Israelis war with Lebanon.

secondly with the execution of Sadam he can not do any better, he could only add on the number of insurgent in Iraq nothing more than that.

That only thing he can achieve is that he increases hatred of people toward Americans.

Answer 5

We went at it all wrong. We should have finished off the Taliban and Osama in Afghanistan first, be fore this Iraq thing. Now we see a resurgence in Afghanistan

Answer 6

WE HAVE TO STAY THE COURSE! Funny that it's been changing every week since that quote. Just another Bushism that people try to defend.
