Democrats, I'm listening so tell me...?

Question

...about your plan given this scenario:

Later today there's an announcement that we're pulling our troops out of Iraq. Immediate and complete withdrawal should be finished up in about 3 weeks.

What do you see happening in Iraq in 4 weeks?

Seriously, I want to know the answer to this question. I read and hear it over and over again that we must get out troops out of there. However the thought appears to stop at the period ending that sentence.

Answer 1

There would be no difference...the region would still be the unstable, violent area it has always been. The only change would be that our troops would no longer be in direct harm's way.

Answer 2

Plan. Everyone wants to hear what the plan is. You want the truth? There is no plan and there never was a plan. We should never have invaded Iraq in the first place. Even Bush senior thought it an absurd idea at the end of the Gulf War for precisely the same reasons we are living out today. His idiot son thought it was a fantastic idea and the congress went along for the ride. We were all fooled. All of us.

Here's the thing...who are we really fighting over there? This is a culture of religious sects who have been slaughtering each other centuries before we showed up. In the absence of absolute rule there is now chaos as the Sunnis and Shia battle it out agian for regional control. Anyone who tries to tell you this is not a civil war is an either an idiot or thinks you are. American forces are caught in the crossfire of an ancient conflict that neither the Romans, Alexander the Great, or the British could stop. How are we any different?

This has nothing to do with terrorism or "we must fight them there so we don't have to fight them here", or protecting America. That's all a crock. This is a clash of cultures. It;s really that simple. We have two choices: stay and escalate, pump in more lives and more money, slaughter and destroy more and more until the entire Muslim world rises against us? Or concede that we got ourselves into a fight we never should ahve been a part of in the first place and get the hell out of there. Ultimately, no matter what we do, chaos and death will rule over that land until they themselves decide when it's over. Not us.

That's the plan.

Answer 3

They would set up there own goverment wether or not we are there. They would eventually figure things out and form a goverment that works for them. They had a form of goverment before we got involved, however much you may have disliked it, it worked.

Go back to the old saying you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink. That being said you cant force your ideals of goverment, and politics on other people if they dont want the change.

If some one said they had a better goverment out there and started a regime change here in the US. And ocupied our country and policed us how they saw fit. Would you welcome the so called liberators with open arms. Answer that and you will see why there is alot of civil unrest in Iraq.

Answer 4

I'm no Democrat, but the escalation of war in Iraq would be unbelievable. It would bring in their neighbors and have a devastating effect on the world oil supply and the global economy.

See what happens when radical Islam is unchecked. Study the Afghan/Russia war from the 80's. We paid for abandoning the Afghanis to the radical muslim there on 9/11.

Answer 5

I think no matter when we pull out (could be today or in 10 years) we are going to have a leader that is much worse and more of a threat to the USA than Saddam ever would have been. Do you know how long Saddam was in power? Since 1979, the year I was born. I have never heard so much about the man before Bush jr came into office. Hell, I have a video of Bush jr saying that if he was ever president the first thing he would do would be tot ake Saddam out of power. Email me if you would like a copy of this, its a very short clip. Bushs own father wrote in his book that to attack Iraq would be the worst mistake ever as there is no valid exit strategy there and Saddam had his grasp on the region. I guess his father was right and was a great man for realizing this. If only his son saw this we would not have the mess we do today. Anyways, point being we were supposed to be taking care of Sept 11 and instead we take Saddam out of power. I feel horrible for all the families of Sept 11 who still have no closure about that day as out hunt for BinLaden (which I agree with) turned into taking Saddam out of power and all about Iraq instead of Afganastan. You say the dems wre for this in the start and you are correct, they were when we were going after binladen and attacking afghanastan who caused this but as soon as bush turned this into Saddam and Iraq is when the dems pulled out. Do you ever read/listen the actual news or are you a fox head? Point being, we should have never been put in this situation to begin with, there are many other countries out there that are much worse than Iraq and much more of a threat to the US security than Iraq. Women have no rights in Saudi Arabia, they cant even drive cars and China will still kill babies if they are girls because you must have a boy, women dont mean anything over there. Thats not right but its tolerated because its their country, not ours! Hell to make things worse there is a mass Genocide going on in Africa as we speak, why are we not doing anything about that? This Genocide is much much worse than anything Saddam ever did. Did you know Saddam was the first in the middle east to bring free schooling for all grades including college? Did you know he was the first in the middle east to bring a western style court and government system? I am not saying Saddam was a great guy but he was not the worst out there!

Answer 6

it is strictly why conservatives do not have confidence in a loose and liberal education, know because of the fact the "liberal arts", mind-blowing? additionally why they don't have confidence college professors, or scientists. the priority is that, if allowed to, pupils discover ways to think of empirically and independently, springing up with concepts of their very very own which do not neccesarily coincide with and may even question conservative values. Why do they might desire to learn technological understanding while we already know that guy won't be able to impression climate replace,.. and that evolution is purely an intensive concept? purely settle for what we are saying and end attempting to learn on your very own! we supply you the actuality at college, circulate homestead and memorize it, and in case you like an "A", repeat it precisely as we assist you to recognize on the attempt. do not attempt to determine it out on your very own.

Answer 7

Even the people who want out of Iraq are more than smart enough to know there is an expected backlash of just ejecting out of Iraq. It's like a knife wound, for lack of a better comparison. If you rip it out, you bleed to death.

Answer 8

They don't want to tell you that a regime will take over that probably doesn't like us. Also, many Iraqis will be killed as the country descends into an all out war. Worst case scenario is that several terrorist groups will try to claim the area.

In all reality, we'll probably have to end up going back.

Answer 9

Whatever happens is Bush's fault.

That will be the response.

Ironic, since many blamed Bush 41 for all the problems Iraq caused in the 90s - they said he didn;t "finish the job!"

Answer 10

Good question!!!


My opinionis to make Iraq into 3 countries but share the wealth of oil as a whole.

Answer 11

why is it that you can only see two choices? what about saying to hell with Iraq and going straight for the terrorists that are "pouring over the border"? Lets pursue the terrorists where they are being trained and comforted, in countries like Iran or Saudi Arabia. Bush has set a paradigm that there are only two choices and everyone seems to buy into his limited view.
