How do we get Iraq's army to stabilize their country when OUR ARMY (best army in the world) can't even do it??

Question

Bush thinks somehow we are going to turn Iraq's army into a greater stabilizing force than OUR ARMY is even capable of being? So, basically Bush thinks Iraq's army can do a better job than our army can. Do you honestly believe that our president is correct? Common sense surely doesn't agree with Bush.

Answer 1

Stabilizing Iraq is not a purely military endeavor. Your question highlights an that you are fundamentally unaware of what is really going on in Iraq.

The stabilization of Iraq is only about 20% military tactics and force and 80% consensus building between factions.

Answer 2

Maybe they think the Iraqi Government will build strategies to somehow cross the gulf from one sect or religion to another.
Those people are never going to find any common ground. That is why they will have to slice the Country and resouces equally for all 3 sects or get a dictator back in to control the masses.
If not for our constitution and separation of church and state, we would be in the same boat. We would be killing one another based on our ideals and religious beliefs.
Any Country in the middle East could decide to rise up and control the oil in the region - Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia. Iraq was really the weakest of all the middle eastern countries.

Answer 3

You don't. The strategy all along was too destroy iraq as a viable nationstate. Why? Because it's the only country in a position to lead the middle east into a trade war with the west over oil supplies.

PNAC, (Project for the New American Century- Ideally, NWO) and associated neocon thinktanks believe that depopulation of the worlds third world countries is essential in protecting america's interests, as the US becomes more reliant on foriegn mineral deposits and resources etc etc.

Hence the stirring of sectarian tensions by hanging saddam brutally..

All the while, the cycle goes round, and the perpetual war against an abstract noun (bush's good and evil black and white worldview) provides an excuse for hacking away at civil liberties and the constitution. Check out the billions pumped into rennovating prisoner of war camps and the executive orders allowing FEMA to take total control during a "State of emergency."

The whole point was too destroy the middle east. Why do you think Iran is next in line in the "war against evil?"

Nothing will stabilize iraq. And that's just the way it was planned.





Fyi, the UN says Britian has the best army, and the yanks seem to like shooting us in the back.

Answer 4

The better question is:
If it takes three armies and a police force to keep Iraq together, what kind of government will that foster?

A government that is easily willing to kill its own citizens is a dictatorship in the vein of Saddam's brutal regime.

the only people who seem to be winning the Iraq war are the Terrorists and the Iranians.

Answer 5

Let's just bring the military home and disband them. We are no longer a nation to reckon with. Why should any nation, or criminal group, be afraid of the US, when all they have to do is kill innocent people and our troops indiscriminately and wait us out? The american people have no stomach for war, so we sure don't need a war machine.

Answer 6

good point! i totally think it's time for the US to leave and to respect the iraqis and let them do the job. having US troops there just complicates the situation and feed the insurgents' rage while encouraging more people to join them. Iraq is an old civilisation, surely, they can handle their own businesses instead of having outsiders interfere. It's time to respect them and let them settle things the way they want it.

Answer 7

The real goal is to have an Iraqi government that will let US oil companies profit off developing the Iraqi oil reserves.

Answer 8

The U.S. military doesn't stabilize the U.S. We have a government to do that. That's what we want them to have....a government that can stabilize themselves.
