What will Mrs. Clinton do if on her inauguration day if there are still 160,000 American troops in Iraq?

Question

I don't support Mrs. Clinton and I do support the War on Terror. I am assuming that there will be no withdrawal by Mr. Bush and if hypothetically she is elected President (God Forbid!!) what will be her decision about the troops in Iraq. Also will she have an alternative (Option B) to implement in Iraq not involving American Troops. I assume she will not stand idly by and allow mass genocide to happen in that country. So what will she do to stop that from happening. Many people talk about a civil war. Do they mean by that that one army is killing another as in America's Civil War in 1860 or do they mean Genocide of innocent civilians. What will she do to stop that from happening with no American Troops in Iraq?

Answer 1

Clinton will give the American people the illusion that the Iraqi people are ready to be on their own. She will insist that they can handle the terrorists and extremists there, and the US is the sole root of the problem, like what Nixon did. This will be her cut-and-run strategy.

Dems like to run away from problems: "In December 1974, the Democratic majority in Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974, which cut off all military funding to the South Vietnamese government and made unenforceable the peace terms negotiated by Nixon. Nixon, threatened with impeachment because of Watergate, had resigned his office. Gerald R. Ford, Nixon's vice-president stepped in to finish his term. The new president vetoed the Foreign Assistance Act, but his veto was overridden by Congress." Wikipedia - Vietnam War - Accessed 3.23.2007

Answer 2

For one factor, people consume sort of 21 Billion Barrels of oil an afternoon (that discern has probable jumped, because of the fact it replaced into recorded in 2004), Iraq is expected to produce 6-7 million battles an afternoon come 2010 - barley putting a dent in usa's intake desires. inspite of the undeniable fact that, its unknown how a lot usa will import. usa on my own gets 10 million barreles from international locations which is composed of in terms of Clinton's decision, i'm in part destructive to it. The venture has not been achieved yet. i'm destructive to sending greater troops in to Iraq, on the grounds that which will probable reason greater. issues and casualties.

Answer 3

I would say she would would want herself crowned Queen

Seriously, I think she will pull out, announce victory of some sort for the Dems and leave our Allies to deal with it (so much for international relations). She will be so centered on getting her idiotic socialized medicine through so we can ALL have poor insurance and medical care. The Iraq War will probably take a back seat to her. Everytime a soldier even gets a paper cut she will have them shipped stateside until they are all home, leaving a cauldren behind.

Answer 4

The question ultimately comes down to do you want
a lot of people to die quickly (such as if the US
withdrew quickly) or even more people to die over
a longer period of time (hey, were up to 600000
Iraqis and showing no signs of slowing down).

The alternatives would have more to do with local
countries changing how they deal with insurgents.

This has NOTHING to do with Clinton vs. say,
Obama. Yes, there are some Republicans who
still believe that our troops are doing more good
than creating terrorists, but I know of no Democrats
who think that American firepower is solving
anything over there.

Answer 5

In the old liberal mode she will ignore reality and blame Bush. Her election is highly doubtful and I am thankful for that. Obama is also on His way out of the eye of the tiger. The Clinton's will be sure and knock him out along the way but the divisions withing the party will cause them to fail to elect a president.

Answer 6

she will probably have her nails done, then a pedicure and a facial after a light lunch.. she will then use a copy of the US constitution to light a small fire in her fireplace where she will burn the bill of rights and copys of the magna carta and the ten commandments. and after that grueling day she will sit back and relax in her easy chair quietly thinking to herself "not even i can believe they fell for it.. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!"

O and it is a war between saddam supporters and the mostly unarmed untrained civilians that they are slaughtering each day. so if we pull out all we will see is someone take over where saddam left off.

so i guess its a civil war just like rwanda and somalia. you know the ethnic cleansing kind of civil war.

Answer 7

Iraqs sunni (saudi-like) and shiites (Iranian-like) people are fighting amongst themselves. Iraq is the front line of a wider pan-mideast war that isn't going to end soon, Clinton or no Clinton. The Iraq war is part of a much bigger picture.

Answer 8

I don't know how she'll position herself on this one. I have no trust in her, but believe this is one issue she could surprise on. 4 years is a long time to live with a mistake, and she'll probably have the courage more than other democrats to stand against her own party.

hopefully it will never come to this.

Answer 9

She'll do what she always does. She'll put her finger in the wind to see which way it is blowing and adjust her opinion accordingly. She'll then tell her Secretary of Defense, Jane Fonda to handle it.

Answer 10

She'll leave them there, bad mouth Bush for not completing the mission, and then continue the mission.
