Serious question! What is the Democrat's plan to solve the Iraq violence issue?

Question

Please...I'd like more information than "They have none." Thanks.

Answer 1

Serious answer: they truly don't have one.

Not one single Democrat - including the ones who have announced their candidacy - has said anything about having a plan to solve the problem in Iraq. They're all too busy beating the "I hate Bush!" drum in an effort to swing votes their way instead of focusing on what problems will be waiting for them IF they win the election.

After all, it's SO much easier to sit back and lambast someone for their mistakes and thereby become part of the problem instead of coming up with a solution and solving the problem, isn't it?

THIS is why I will NEVER vote for Billary Clinton, John "I have three Purple Hearts!" Kerry, Chuck Schumer, Debora Feinstein, or Charles Rangel! Losers all!

1. We have to ensure Iraqis understand we are NOT staying. When we build permanent bases and the LARGEST US Embassy in the World in their country, this does not promote the idea we are leaving anytime soon. By telling them over and over (and over, if necessary) about how we are NOT staying in their country in any way they do not wish, this alone will dramatically decrease the people terrorist organizations would be able to recruit.
2. Stop shoving incredible amounts of money at Halliburton and give Iraqi construction companies, labor forces, etc. a chance to make some money. Get the water and the electricity on. Start rebuilding. Get some hospitals and schools built. With the money we've already spent in Iraq, the entire city of Baghdad could have been rebuilt MANY times. Get some teachers in there. Get the factions together to either work out their differences or admit defeat, leave office and maybe the population can elect leaders who CAN work out their differences.
3. Get serious with this National Iraqi Police Force. If theyre going to take over, they need to get their thumb out and TRAIN to take over. It's been almost 4 years. The US trains a soldier, from raw recruit to lethal fighting machine, in about 70 days (or less). WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE? Once Iraqis understand they WONT have the US forces to blame for everything, they will get off their butts and assist in rebuilding.
4. Immediately hire and ship 50,000 bomb sniffing dogs and their handlers to Iraq. Anyone (carrying bombs or explosives) the dogs react to is shot, then and there. Then when identified, their families are arrested. We have to make it too expensive to suicide bomb ANYONE, let alone US soldiers. Begin training Iraqis on to train their dogs to be explosive sniffers. Let them gradually take these jobs over, as we move out of these areas. They have no reason to protect American forces; protecting their own people is a different story.
5. We draw out of the cities, and secure the border between Iraq and any neighbors who might be allowing weapons and personnel to enter Iraq from their countries.

Answer 3

Their plan is just like last time, don't do anything till a Republican comes to the office and 4 more planes slam into buildings and kill 1000s, because the democrats didn't want to a war.

Seriously after Al-qaida blew up 2 U.S. embassies in Africa, all Clinton did was fire a couple of cruise missiles at their bases.
If he had gone after them with full force Al-qaida would have been destroyed while it still was a medium size organization.

After 9/11 due to the publicity they got every nutcase in the world has gone to join Alqaida making them 10 times larger than pre-9/11

Answer 4

The Congress would not have the flexibility to get rid of the troops, now or in 12 or 18 months. it is as much as the president to admit he has made a tragic series of blunders, and authorize elimination of the troops. by the way, Bush's "surge" is an entire bust. The numbers for March are in, and US troop deaths and Iraqi civilian deaths are in reality unchanged from the place they have been before the surge. Do you think of Bush will NOW admit he has failed?

Answer 5

I think currently, the plan is to keep current troop levels in Iraq, and demand a date of departure.

I think the idea of demanding Iraq to be independent on a given date is great, but I worry about the reality of it.

Answer 6

Fillow the israeli plan (for the democrats). The republicans have a slightly different plan (i;e; in the rhetoric and the acting role part).

Answer 7

Pull the troops out and hope no one notices. They want to enlist the help of Syria and Iran.

I don't think they care. they want to pacify the citizens here and discredit Bush.After that just talk until our nation is destroyed.

Answer 8

Hillary is going to realize her gaffe of the past weekend about getting out of Iraq by the time she is sworn in and think "DUH, I'm a sitting Senator, why don't I introduce a resolution revoking Bush's authorization to have combat troops in Iraq. DUHHHH".

Answer 9

'Oh come on people who started this damn war ummmmmmm wait let me think a republican named George W. It's gonna take time to solve the mess the republican party left. Whats your solution mouth all mighty or any of you other proud republicans come on lets hear it.

Answer 10

According to their constituency, it does not matter what their plan is. Their constituency wants the soldiers out of Iraq, no matter what and they want it now. Well there used to be this saying about want in one hand........

I think it is our duty and obligation to help the Iraqi government stand.
