Do yu agree with Senatorin Hillary Clinton, that we must deny funds to Iraq in order for the Iraqy government?

Question

A very interesting point of Hillary Clinton today on the news. Her opinion is, that if the Iraqy government does not change their attitude in being more in charge with their own military forces and as well as financial support for it's military, the United States will cut funding. And than it would also mean that a slowly pull-out of our troops woul be in sight. I truly agree with her point of view. But how would you all feel?

Answer 1

This should have been the United States' position from day one. If the new Iraqi government is not willing to step up to the plate and maintain internal order, then what is the point of America doing it for them? Even George Bush said the Iraqi government must show genuine signs of standing up against the insurgents and increase its own police and military forces. It is unrealistic for them to continue to rely on the United States for support.

Answer 2

The reason that Dems talk about stopping funds is because that is their way of trying to dictate what happens with the war plains. The Commander in Chief is the person who is given the right by the Constitution to make decisions about how, when, and where the troops are used and the congress and senate can not make those decisions as per the constitution. The Dems are trying to make it imposable for the president to do his job so that they can say "see I told you so". They are using our troops as pawns in their trite little political war and it is a shame that more people don't understand what and why they are doing this. If Clinton or some of the other Libs have a plan that is feasible them I say present it and work with that but don't cut funding to our troops, they need all they can get. BTW the reason that only the president has the power to run the war is because pushing things through congress takes to long and becomes politicized preventing fast, well thought out plans.

Answer 3

There is much more to our presence in Iraq than building a democratic government. She knows this yet her main concern is shaping an image conducive to her nomination in the coming primary elections. This is bigger than Iraq and much, much bigger than her chances for election in my opinion.

I have made no secret that my view is that she would be a disaster for America, that doesn't change my opinion that this whole "thing" about Iraq is really about radical Islam having it's roots in Iran and defeating that movement.

No, I do NOT agree with her, and it is highly unlikely I ever could on probably any subject. She does not have the best interests of America at heart. How is what she is saying any different than what the President said during his speech? He made the same statements. That Iraq will take their role seriously and understand that our support is not open ended.

Answer 4

Hillary takes orders for the comparable reason that Obama takes them. they % to get re-elected and that they opt to not be lifeless. even inspite of the incontrovertible fact that the CFR is American based and run why exchange into it that President Dinner job from Iran exchange into sitting in front of them some months in the past? he's taking orders from them too? OR exchange into he getting the mail for the Ayatollah? considering that CFR individuals are individuals of the FED and all of the ruling families and the appropriate experts of Exxon and just about all and sundry in potential plus all of the individuals of Congress and the homestead it may be smart for Hillary to snap to and guard business enterprise as stated. besides, who is going to tell her to forget approximately them? not at all Barrack, he's unquestionably one of them. i don't be attentive to ... what do you think of happens once you tell the optimal Authority interior the country to flake off? think of they could get disappointed? could they kill you or purely determine you in no way worked interior the administrative.returned in this life and the subsequent 2? She exchange into smart ... and it saves assorted workplace work. they are solid at overlaying their tracks. in case you have an interest i will deliver you the video on the subject of the CFR and the FED being hand in hand and the CFR being the Shadow govt of the country. Did the CFR orchestrate 9/11? humorous you shuld ask ... arralkaghghggg .... i'm Dartagnon

Answer 5

I agree that the Iraqi's need to take a more active role, I do not agree with cutting funding or troop redeployment. We broke it, we own it! It is now our duty and obligation to help their government stand and be able to defend themselves from enemies foreign and domestic, period!

Answer 6

She also said the opposite thing for Afganistan the other day. Wish she would make up her mind. The issue is when we feel the Iraqi army is ready to defend itself, then we'll get out of there. Chillary is not the one to decide that.

Answer 7

I think it's idiotic. The US completely dismantled the Iraqi army. It takes years to be rebuild. As much as I like the Democrats and as wrong as the war in Iraq was, to just pull and/or cut funding is senseless, cruel and will damage America's credibility in the world ever further.

I normally loathe Republicans but they are right on this one.

Answer 8

It's not right that the US has pretty much destroyed Iraq to now say 'well, you guys need to change your attitude'. 'Let them clean up their own mess' seems to be heard a lot, too, and that's really wrong.

Answer 9

She just repeated word for word what the president has already stated. Do people only listen to her when she talks? Maybe I would listen to her if she could come up with an orginal thought.

Answer 10

You lost me when you said Hillary Clinton!
