if democrats got there wish, how long would a 100% pullout of troops from iraq actually take?

Question

we have estimated a min of 24 months.

infantry ssg

Answer 1

The Democratic compromise is the fall of 2008. That bill will probably be sunk by the president, because not only is gives a pull out date, it is loaded with a lot of pork (these are paid votes). This bill also states that the U.S. military will still have advisors in Iraq to continue training so there is no 100% pull out.

Now logistically a full pull out in Iraq could take two or three months. The major reason is much of the supplies will be turned over to the Iraqi army. The ammo, the humvees, some trucks the medical supplies, the food and maybe some of the older aircraft such as any hueys and A-10s will stay in Iraq.

A second reason is some stuff can be transported to Kuwait or Turkey to be transported later.

Anything sent to Turkey would probably be sent by train to various bases in Europe and from there they would be shipped to their original base. Anything (strykers, attack helicopters, tanks) sent to Kuwait might be flown to Afganistan.

Answer 2

A good question... particularly considering that at least one of the bases set up is massive and is intended to be a permanent base...

I'm sure first we would have to get everyone out of KBR land which is where civilians who are supposed to be building things and helping rebuild Iraq are housed... and then we would have to get out the troops... several us troops would have to stay behind to get everyone on planes and everything shipped out.. It would be hard considering everything we've put there...

never the less.... out out out!!!!!! get them home!!!!!!!! We can defend our home from here... I don't go down the street beating up the neighbors so that they theoretically can't come and rob my house one day.

According to the "Polo Step" plan our leaders drew up, Google it, we should have been out of there by 2006.... now they don't even see us getting out by 2008.

Hostile parties said they would stop attacking us if we agreed to get out by 2008 a long time ago... we should have told them we would and then if things weren't working out by 2008 we could have kept staying anyways, what are they gonna do.... what they are already doing and have been doing for years???... at least we would have had a chance to build up an infrastructure and sustainable govt in Iraq.... but getting out of Iraq doesn't seem to be a real part of any plan.

Answer 3

Coming from an infantry ssg, that sounds good to me. The point is that there will be a foreseeable withdrawal of troops.

Answer 4

A pullout into Kuwait could be done fairly quickly, the logistics from Kuwait to USA would take a greater effort.

Answer 5

If we get somebody responsible elected, with a bit of luck as quickly because of fact the Iraqi defense force is totally able to shielding the rustic on their very own. After that, our very own forces might purely be getting interior the way lots of the time. If we get Hillary or Obama in place of work, it is going to likely be on each occasion is maximum politically useful -- which might probable spell catastrophe for Iraq and a huge factor of the encircling area. to declare no longer something of what's going to take place to america.

Answer 6

Do you mean how long before the killing of Americans(for no good reason) will stop ? 1 1/2 to 2 years.

Answer 7

it would be a pian in the **** to get every one out not to mention all the civilian employes there I would say no sooner than three years to pull all the troops out and get all of the civilians out as well just trying to move all the connexes and tricons will take more trucks than we have

Answer 8

Logistically I couldn't tell you. On paper, overnight.

Answer 9

they get what they want, it would take a matter of days.
