what do you think about Bush plan in IRAQ?

Answer 1

it will not be working as usual

Answer 2

After watching Condoleeza Rice's testimony before congress, and after also watching on C-Span Bush's State of the Union Speech from 2006 (a year ago) added to watching him make his proposal (to increase troop presence in Iraq) to the US from the White House Library, I have to say that a lot of what he says is still on the same "tune". Bush said in 2006 (state of the Union): "America rejects the false comfort of isolationism. We’re the nation that saved liberty in Europe, and liberated death camps, once again we remain on the offensive in Afghanistan, we’re on the offensive in Iraq with a clear plan for democracy...Isolationsim would not only tie our hands in fighting enemies it would keep us from helping our friends in desperate need."

I have some problems with the idea that today's situation is being compared to WWII: this is nothing on the size of that--and has literally nothing in common with that war--it's a bad analogy and an attempt at sentimentalism that drives Bush's supporters into tears and blinds them from the truth of the situation. The rhetoric concerning isolationism is the same we saw when he addressed the nation from his library: "In a time of testing...the character of a nation...etc...we can't abandon Iraq+reasons why..." Whatever happened to Republicans believing in the POWER OF THE PEOPLE??? The people to solve their own problems and to also create their own government. Bush is a complete perversion from this kind of Republicanism--there is an evident interest in the economic factors from this region. When ever did the Republicans care about their "friends" in Iraq? Oh puhleezh! Spare me. Everyone knows compassion has always been a peripheral Republican value--this is the work for Faith Based Organizations--so why not let the Faith Based Organizations in Iraq solve Iraq's problems??

It has to be asked: how is Al Qaeda going to build a large-scale offensive against the US from Iraq when a new government and Iraqi soldiers are already being trained to defeat this kind of offensive? How REAL are the fears from the Iraqi region? Al Anbar can't be that saturated with Al Qaeda. Sounds like the same old tactics: remember the WMDs that Bush said Iraq had? Nothing but a ghost--NON-EXISTENT, FEAR-BASED RHETORIC. Same goes for the Al Qaeda threat in Iraq. The real problem in Iraq seems equally *political* as it is physical (on the ground Baghdad insurgents) and the US is not going to be able to induce political agreement when such agreement seems unlikely. Until there is a real committment from the government and people from Iraq--a committment to dialogue and fighting the war against terror--and a committment to democracy--then and only then will there begin to be some peace in the country. Oh and forget about the UN stepping in--don't you remember, this decision was made unilaterally AGAINST THE ADVICE OF THE UN. We should be dialoguing with the insurgents instead of killing and fighting--a democracy that represents ALL included interests is the problem here. Sunnis are frequently being passed over.

I can say for certain this: THIS EFFORT IS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME--don't look for Iraq to be an up and coming democracy fully autonomous and working for another 10-15 years . And at this stage, democracy is FRAGILE. Whether that means it is our responsibility to be there, well that is another question--and I am not sure I have the answer. But these are the facts.

Answer 3

I think Bush has good ideas and plans; now if Iraq would only cooperate. I am a total Bush supporter, I think he is doing what needs to be done.

Answer 4

Iraq has turned out to be a very volatile situation. One which we were not able to predict. I believe President Bush is doing the best he can with the knowledge he has available.

Answer 5

Really and truly, a day late and always a dollar short of a bus ride.
He is so pathetic, and his groping and graveling now is amusing.
I can't wait to see his beady squinty little eyes shift when he goes into his lying routine, he is as transparent as glass. And his pathetic groupies that hang around to support his clay feet.
What do I think? He sucks and his plans all suck the big one.
And I personally would not bend over for anything he says or he will drive your butt to Dallas.

Answer 6
