What do you think the next president of the U.S should do about Iraq?

Question

Do you think we should pull our forces out, stay and finish what we started, or something else?

Answer 1

Stay and finish the job.

Answer 2

Good question. Unfortunately, the next president will have little to do with what is going on in Iraq and the Middle East. This invasion and occupation of Iraq is motivated by oil, returning the region, especially Iraq, back to the dollar as the primary currency for oil trades, and, all run by large American corporate interests. There is a government within a government in the US, and the future president will have little to say if he or she does not want a letter full of Anthrax sent to him or her, like former Senator Daschle and Senator Leahy: the message was clear enough - oppose Bush's policies in the Middle East and choke on some Anthrax. Five Americans died in the Anthrax attacks and, of course, nothing was resolved, courtesy of the CIA.
There is a program on next Sunday night titled, My Children's Children War. So it looks like the war in the Middle East will continue until the last drop of oil is removed from the Middle East.
Then a new enemy will be invented, probably China, and then the large mega-corporations can get filthy rich all over again.
Good night and Good Luck.

I think that we might need a surge of 10,000 more additional troops for at least 3 years. So stay and fight. The only other plan involves something else; it a fall back and regroup followed by a second strike. The second strike would be different from the one so far as it would utilize our Air Force and Navy(Carpet bombing). This second option would be geared at achieving the highest kill count possible. It sounds harsh but other than leaving our troops there is the only way to pacify the region. I say if liberals make us pull out do it but kill everyone so that the region is safe.

Answer 4

Thank you for asking about something else. No one ever does that. When I tell people that I'm against pulling the troops out, everyone assumes that I'm for doing the same thing we have been doing. That is not the case at all, there are more than two schools of thought on the matter.
I think we should follow the teach them to fish rather than give them a fish philosophy.
I believe we should stop pulling Iraq's security for them. If we want them to be a free and independent country they are going to have to handle their own security, at least internally. Our troops should focus on a rebuilding mission, purely humanitarian, and the only security provided by us should be for us, and us alone. Also, I believe that the Iraqis need to get more involved in the rebuilding of their own country. If they are the ones building the roads and schools and hospitals they will be less inclined to blow up what they worked on themselves. Contracts for rebuilding should either be opened to everyone world wide, or better yet, Iraqi companies should have priority. They need to know their country is theirs, not just some project of ours. We are not their baby sitters, but it is the wrong thing to do to abandon them. After all, we were the ones who went in and tore what little they had up. They can build it into something better now, but we should help them with that, not do it for them and not profit off of it like a bunch of war profiteers. We need to halt construction of permanent bases. Let them run their own damn country. If we help now, instead of doing it for them, they will be able to in the future without our help.
American companies will not make much of a profit off of this plan, but it is the honorable thing to do. Honor is the fifth Army value, which are supposed to reflect the values of the nation as a whole.
We have already won this war as much as we are able to. We have ousted their dictator and helped them establish a new government. Now lets do what we claimed to be doing and help them to become free. Free means independent and able to run on its own, in addition to gaining some civil liberties. If they are not independent, they are basically another territory of the United States. Not free at all.

Answer 5

We have to accept the fact that the Iraq war will be the major issue in the 2008 presidential elections. Who is the candidate who gets elected will depend on his position on the Iraq war issue. Will that candidate be in favor of continuing the Iraq war or is in favor of ending it?. This will in turn depend on the majority of the voter's sentiment about the Iraq war. If majority of the voters are in favor of continuing the war, it is logical that they will vote for the candidate that share their sentiments. It is also the same case for the voters who are in favor of ending the war. In the end, the winner will be determined by the majority of the people's sentiments. Once in office, the next president will have to carry out what he had promised, the basis for which he became elected in the first place.

The majority of the voter's sentiments can be roughly gauged by the results of the last congressional election. Who won the majority of the seats?. Those same sentiments will determine the winner of the next presidential election.

Answer 6

Drop about 10 megatons on Sadr City

We should let the military kick *** and win this war and politicians should stop trying to run the war. They screw everything up. Get us into a war and then tie the hands of the military.
