2. what is the situation in iraq right now?

3. how many people had died in the war so far?

4. what would be the next move U.S. is going to make?

Answer 1

1. To stabilize the country and allow its democratically elected government a chance to succeed.

2. A mess.

3. Debatable. Figures range from 60,000 civilian deaths to Lancet's claim of more than 600,000 (though the statistical models and methods used to reach that number have been shown to be "bad science." Iraq's Health Ministry has placed the number at 100,000 to 150,000. One big problem is that the terrorists don't wear uniforms so it can be difficult to figure out if a body is a terrorist or a civilian.

4. The military's strategy has recently changed from what I call "whack a mole" (attack the terrorists as they pop up and then move to the next target) to a seize, control and hold strategy which is showing some initial success. If the Democrats in the Congress and Senate allow the strategy a chance, the next move will be leaving behind a stable democracy and an ally. If the Democrats force the U.S. military to surrender, the next move will be to leave behind a country that will quickly degenerate into a genocidal bloodbath and become a more powerful haven for terrorists than Afghanistan ever was.

Answer 2

1. To keep the free flow of Oil into the US from Iraq. 2. Bad. 3. About 3,250 Americans; 150 Coalition forces; and roughly 60,000 Iraqi's (give or take a few thousand). And 4. Drag the war on as long as possible- or until after next years Election, which ever comes first.

Answer 3

The common notion was once that Saddam had guns of mass destruction and after the assaults on nine/eleven the truth that those guns might have got into terrorist palms it was once deemed that we had to get those guns from Saddam. Yes the exact rational could in deed have all capable been completed, there have been no guns located and Saddam is long past. The best rationale we're nonetheless there may be due to the fact that we might now not ruin a nations govt after which simply go away it to chaos
