what would be the best souliton to end the war?

Answer 1

Ignore liberals and political correctness. Fight to win. I was in Iraq. My convoy was under attack one time and I called in to request air support. I was told they would check with the lawyers to see if it would be ok. WTF??

Answer 2

Stop Congress from getting profits and kickbacks from it. The latest Iraq War Bill would fund things like $74 million for peanut storage, $124 million for the shrimp industry and $25 million for spinach producers. Its has $20 billion in wasteful spending that has nothing to do with Iraq or our troops. The soldiers are not getting the resources or manpower they need because the new Congress only sees the Iraq war as a way to get money and the war profiteers have no business financing themselves by getting American Soldiers killed over money. If we cut the ability of Congress to get war kickbacks and profits then the soldiers can do their job.

Answer 3

That would depend on whose side you're on. Though I doubt you've devoted enough thought to actually take a side. To you it is some kinda unpleasant soap opera.

Personally the best solution is to stay as long as it takes. If it takes 100 years to create a stable moderate democracy in the Middle East then do it. Thats the kind of dedication that is needed to win this thing, because that is how our enemy thinks. Iraq is just one battle in the War against radical Islam. Leave early, you'll just replace it with two more. Running away in Beirut and Mogadishu earned us 9/11. What do you think running away in Iraq will get us?

Answer 4

Start at home and bring our country's residents into compliance with the law -- that means get control of illegal immigrants. Then once we have shown the world that we are truly a nation of laws with effective enforcement, we can finish what we started in Iraq.

I would not cut and run from Iraq but I would certainly establish benchmarks for continued improvement in the situation and for their proof of sincerity to govern themselves. I would not leave our involvement open ended and I would not give Iraq or Bush a blank check. Without measurable results, and measurable improvement, we shouldn't be there, period.

We need to bring all the tribes together and get them talking. We'll never be able to help them if we can't understand what their problems are and if we are continually fueling the fires of hatred. We must have equal involvement of Shiites and Sunnis and we must help them work together to solve Iraq's problems without forcing their beliefs on each other.

That's just the beginning. As in medicine -- above all else, do no harm!

Answer 5

There are only two solutions. You either send everything you have and fight to win or you pull up stakes and go home.

This idea of grinding away is a losing battle plan that will bankrupt us long before they get tired of killing us. Paton is turning over in his grave. Either replace all the idiots in charge of this war and ramp it up or get out before we waste any more lives. There is no middle road to fight a war.

Being the man in charge won't commit to what's needed to win this, (raising taxes, selling war bonds, drafting pimple face kids) lets stop waisting our time, money and precious people. Someone really needs to be punished for this sorry plan and its execution.

Answer 6

Withdraw 90% of the troops from Iraq.

Allocated 25% of them to Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are still dug-in. Keep the rest in reserve for defense of our country, and for use against specific terrorist targets.

That won't end the civil war in Iraq, but we're not a party to that war anyway. We're just babysitting. But eventually, one side or the other will gain dominance in Iraq, and then we'll actually be in a position to do something about it. As opposed to our current status of being nearly crippled militarily.

Answer 7

Remove the women and children, make sure the men stay. Fuel up a Stealth Bomber with a few missles with kilo ton sized war heads and turn Iraq into Kaboomistan!!

Answer 8

to make a negotiation between the places that are at war, take the cuban missle crises for example, the u.s said the would get rid of there missles in turkey if the soviets got rid of theres in a little island near cuba. and they did and it worked out

Answer 9

Impeach Bush

Answer 10

How about starting with the Baker-Hamilton commission suggestions that Bush all but ignored.

Bush seems to want to leave no military option untried, before having to resort to diplomacy. This isn't a football game. you don't just 'beat' the other team. There are 2 billion muslims that you're playing against.
