If you were to do things differently what would you do, and what would your plan for the military be?

Question

I think that if we were to teach the people in Iraq how to defend them self that they would! Please write with me the Commander of the Military about teaching the Iraq people! I think that if we tran together than it would save money and resorces! It is like the old saying goes give a man a fish he will eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat for a life time!

Answer 1

This is a very complex problem, with no good answer. A lot of the Iraqi military is corrupt. They will kill innocent people who are not Shiite. They will flee at the first sign of danger and let Americans fight for them.

If we leave, however, there are those who believe that radical Islamists will take over and create an Anti-American super-state with plenty of oil resources. The U.S. is going to pay a high price no matter what we do. The question is, do we cut our losses now and accept the consequences or do we prolong the war? I think you can figure out what I would recommend.

Answer 2

well the first thing i would do differently would be to not waste any time money or lives on iraq in the first place.

i would have left all troops in afganistan and focused on capturing all of the taliban and then anyone who in any way had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks.

will the 3,000 who died on that day ever see any justice - i really do wonder.

i would financially isolate saudi arabia until they stop funding all terrorists worldwide. the saudi govt literally does nothing while billionares within their borders openly fund terror groups - not one has ever even been questioned about this.

i would seize all saudi financial assets in the usa of any kind and scrutinize all of the financial bonds that any with investments in the usa have with regards to ever funding terror groups. if they are found to be clean, they will then be returned to their owner.

i would stop issuing student visas to saudi students of any kind. too many of the hijackers were here on student visas - this is a no brainer and it's just stunning that this hasn't already been done.

i would eliminate 'most favored nation' trading status and re-evaluate all of our trade and foreign relations with every nation in the world. this idea that we turn a blind eye to the saudis and chinese, and pakistanis while we know that elements within their nations are enabling more terror is beyond belief.

i would blow up every wahabi school in the world - and seize the ones in the usa outright. these establishments more than any other institutions, are responsible for the 9/11 attacks. i would do this without announcement, and if they are rebuilt, i would blow them up again.

i would rout out and hunt down every single person who had the slightest connection to the 9/11 attacks and try to start a national propaganda program that would paint this effort as every bit as necessary as the continuing hunt for nazi war criminals.

and that's just a start - i'm sick to death of our govt doing nothing about those who attacked the usa.

i want some GD payback for 9/11 - and if this revenge is served to me cold - that is fine...

Answer 3

Start building a New Bagdad area making it a green zone. Have all the people "Iraqis" take Lie detectorn tests. All those who pass enter in to the green zone Bagdad area. Full families will be taken out. New pro Iraqi government Mullahs will be able to speak out. Then when you picka police force use also lie detector tests. have them police only New Bagdad area.
