Is the Blue Stater conditions of withdrawal a ruse. They want to leave 1/2 the force there for security???

Question

I was a bit suprised that both Red & Blue politicians are arguing over the same plan.

The issue is end of operations not funding. Both sides are fighting over naming rights to the same plan.

Everyone knows it's a mess. They are fighting over what to call the mess and who owns the Rights to the final title.

Most know I have been saying build a permanent Base and settle in for the long haul, for the last 4 years.

Not to sound like a "see I told you so guy" but that seems to be the plan. Pull 75K men back to the US and leave the others there to rotate on schedule. Bush wants to end with a Surge Congress wants to End with a Sweep and Re-Deployment

Both have the same ending. Take over British Base in Basra. Never leave Iraq.

For the Spelling Police.

Your is used as a posessive modifier before the noun. In that I used Reds and Blues coloquially as nouns.

However you are a, would work in this abbreviated forum style.

Answer 1

Why does anyone think 1/2 the force can provide security when even 200% increase would not do so. Our troops are simply superfluous bystanders in the crosshairs of Iraq's civil, sectarian War. What is the rationale for having Americans in Iraq? Are we keeping their War from our shores. Our presence has absolutely nothing to do with stopping terrorism, and it seems that our national guard would be better utilized defending American borders at home. What do you think?

Answer 2

what? Congress never approved the occupation of Iraq. You are confused. We need to end this occupation now. The American people have spoken on this issue. Bush needs to listen. Republicans need to listen to the voice of the people. In Iraq over 650,000 civilians have died, another 250,000 fled the civil war to Jordan. The Iraq war will cost working class tax payers over $2 trillion. It has also cost America 3500 dead. The real "war on terror" is not in Iraq. It is in Afganastand and Lebanon.

Answer 3

The democrats have just solved the problem of international terrorism. In a brilliant strategic move, the democrats have found a way to end the war on terrorism; the DEFINED IT AWAY!

See link

These democrats are not serious people. They have just officially decided to once again ignore terrorism.

Heaven help us all!

Answer 4

the PNAC plan was to use a "Pearl Harbor-like event" to justify going into Iraq, establish control of the oil, set a bases to protect their interests and never leave. seems the plan is moving along swimmingly.
