Has anyone heard the Democrats strategy to win in Iraq.?

Question

I have heard cut funding, cut and run, but has any Democrat come up with a way to win?

none....Harry Reid already called it a loss, so how does he flip that?

see even now the answers are it can't be won blah, blah, Bush, blah blah...
I still have not seen one named who had the Idea. I mean 4+ yrs and not one Democrat has said anything about victory.

2 ways to win a war. Cut the head off the leader, or kill all the troops. Since no one wants to think there is a defined leader we are taking out the troops. Look at every war... leader dead, or no more troops have lead to victory. We are Americans people.

It's only a mess to you brainwashed liberal sheep.

And still not a name. No Dem had a plan at the first sign of "failure". No Dem had a plan in '03,'04'05'06. Nothing? No Dem said Mr. President maybe this might work. It's always been get out cut our losses blah blah blah right from the minute after the Dems voted to go into this war.

Answer 1

They don't want to win. They want to cut funding so that my brothers will die and then they want to turn tail and run. They are cowards. They hate their own country. They preach about freedom and free speech, but don't want to do what it takes to preserve that freedom.

Freedom is not, nor has it ever been, free.

Don't just gripe and complain -- get involved

Answer 2

I'm not a democrat, I have voted Republican and Democrat.

The democrats have not come up with such a plan because they believe the war is un-winnable.

So do Several former generals, the generals bush replaced, Kissenger, the Iraq commission and quite a few others.

The interesting thing to me is the definition of "win". This clearly isn't a standard military confrontation. There is no opposing army. And the populace is simultaneously carrying out a factional civil war.

I think that what it means to win needs to be spelled out for the American public. For instance, Gates was in Iraq yesterday pressing the government to resolve the oil revenue distribution policy. This is a contentious issue that nonetheless should have been resolved a long time ago. How long should we wait before we learn that they can't do it?

Even Bush is saying there are "limits" to US engagement (which is not "open ended"). Sure would be useful to see some clarity of mission here (what's it mean to "win"). btw, the lack of any clear mission statement is why one of the 5 generals who refused the new administration post to oversee the pentagon and the Iraq/Afghanistan wars declined.

Answer 3

The Polling social gathering has 2 plans, the two certainly one of which incorporate ,whats that defeatest observe they choose for to apply ,oh yea, redeployment of our troops. One is to redeploy them to Okinowa.. Murtha hasn't been waiting to persuade me how this plan has any militia significants.the different deployment plan is to tug our infantrymen out of the warm zones and set up camp contained in the Northern mountains.... hm mm . I guess that could end all those insurgents... or might they grow to be extra empowered by using what they might evaluate a victory and take the possibility to establish a ji had u . s ..( of direction the Democrats will evaluate it "redeployment") .

Answer 4

The tragedy is to defeat at all cost to posture by polls for 08, proof is evident. For troop surge, then against it when Bush calls for it. Back Patraeous overwhelmingly, cut the funds out from under him. Harry Reid telling the Troops the left does not support them......

Answer 5

You see, that's where you just don't get it: you had your chance to "win". You blew it. Iraq is engaged in a civil war and the US can't win such a war. You don't "win" other people's civil wars. Your ignorance of that fact goes right up their with your failure to plan *anything* about what to do *after* you'd invaded Iraq in the first place. If you'd not screwed up the first part then you might not be in the mess you're now in.

Answer 6

They never had offered a plan to win from the first day the approved the use of hostilities. They only worked to undercut the President and the military.

Answer 7

I'm sorry you haven't come to the sad realization that most Americans have already come to. That realization is that there is no way to "win" in Iraq. If our soldiers stay another year or another 10 years the outcome will be the same only with more American soldiers dead. I'm sorry you don't have the ability to see what 64% of us see.

Answer 8

How do you win a civil war not of your own making?

Please provide a case study where that has happened in modern times.

Do you agree that democracy is the implementation of the will of the people?

Only 27% of our population believes the situation in Iraq is winnable.

Time to get out, and save the lives of our brave troops.

Answer 9

There is no way to "win" in Iraq, therefore, you cannot possibly have a plan to win, just to minimize losses.

Answer 10

I guess if they do they can't tell us what it is.
They have to wait for the 08 election and fool
people into thinking they do so they vote for them.
and then we all find out they never had a plan after all.

Answer 11

There is nothing TO win. See, that's the problem. Were wasting lives, time, and money for nothing. These people want us dead. We have no allies there. We should focus on taking out terror cells that are threatening OUR country, not Iraq. Let them solve their own damn problems.
