never in history, why now?

Question

American troops in Iraq will report to a "so Called" crisis counsel, which is made up of the Iraqi defense minister, Iraqi interior minister, the American commander in Iraq and Iraqi national security advisor.
This is wrong, it may be ileagal activity. Our service men have never reported to Iraqis, they should not ever report to Iraqis. Someone has a screw lose in the White House.

Answer 1

Thanks to all the many loyal and devoted BUSH fans!!

He's an idiot!!

His idiocy knows no bounds.

Answer 2

The main reason there are so many problems in Iraq is the government was chosen by the Americans...their free elections resembled our own..It takes 10 weeks to train the US troops and here it is 3 years later and the Iraqis are not trained...give me a break !!! OUT OF IRAQ !!

Answer 3

They are embedding U.S. troops in Iraqi units because it has been the Iraqi units that have been going around killing people. The U.S. troops will be there to protect the civilians from the Iraqi forces.

Answer 4

It is the Iraqi's country! We are a security force! We are not taking over their country! Of course we should answer to the Iraqi's!

Answer 5

During the 90's, after I left the military (whew!), the Congress changed the law that covers the contracts that our military personnel sign to enlist and re-enlist. This extends to officers as well in case someone wanted to make that arguement.

The contracts now read that "you must fire on unarmed American civilians when ordered to do so under United Nations authority." Yeah, you read that right. Most of the members of the military haven't read what they've signed anymore than the many contracts most Americans sign throughout their lifetimes.

Be very careful what you put your name on.

So who did this? President Slick Willy. There was definitely a loose screw running around the Oral Orifice back then. Remember "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Answer 6

So, you're in a foreign country, and you're trying to keep things peaceful between your people and theirs. They may not necessarily be reporting to these people as you think, all of the important things probably are not said in mixed company. But if you hope to maintain any kind of peace in a country that is not your own, don't you think it is wise to let the other side at least think they're included? Think of it this way, would we let somebody from another country come over here to "protect" us without us wanting to know what's going on? If the other side wouldn't let us know what was going on, do you think we would remain peaceful about them being in our country? Probably not. God bless America. :)

Answer 7

Unless you are planning on granting statehood to Iraq, sooner or later they are going to have to rule their own country. Who better to listen to than our forces? Who should Iraqis be listening to if not the armed forces currently trying to stabilize their country?

Answer 8

US forces are serving Under a British commander in Afgahnistan, the Brits Served Under Eisenhower in WW2 and you ask a question about a war council????

Answer 9

If it was up to the republicans we would have bombed that chithole place and started out clean. Liberals are changing our country in a most devastating way. Everything has to be politically correct so that we don't offend anyone. Our troops are supposed to fight with their hands tied behind their back so that we are "fair" to them towel heads. They want us to win this war but yet don't want to supply the troops nor the money. They always have to complain about something but yet do nothing about it.

Answer 10

It is political reality to begin with, and I do think there are more than one screw loose in the W.H.
