Do you think Bush is right to send more troops into Iraq?

Question

I personally think he should NOT send more troops in.

This is for an assignment, so please answer truthfully, and respectfully.

Answer 1

Rather than asking yahoo, why not read source documents that explain the reasoning behind the strategy?

This is Gen. Petraeus's plan: http://www.fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm3-24.pdf

Answer 2

That is what the last of the Ceasars would do

I have yet to hear a real explaination of what victory would be

So as these troops go over there to kill what is the greater purpose ?

The US has to win - but win what ?

Was it regime change ? Then it's over

The Iraqi people don't want the US there - the fledgeling government does (sort of) I wonder if they dare say anything else though

If the mission is to protect the government - From what do they protect it ? The people ?

Then the US is in the middle of a civil war and has clearly taken sides

Is it to provide security from the outside nieghbors ?

If so then they are going about it completely wrong - As the troops would be at the border and not in the middle part

Go kill - this is not a mission with victory in mind or a greater goal

So before more are sent please tell me what they are supposed to do ?

Answer 3

No, we shouldn't have sent ANY troops into Iraq with a war on terrorism.


9/11 terrorists = From Saudia Arabia
bush attacks Iraq

Korea does exactly what saddam did, tell's the inspectors to get out. They are working on nuke's, but ..
bush see's Iraq as a bigger threat.

Bottom line: Terrorists and potential real threats to the world and America go on with business as usual.

bush attacked the weaker country, because he is weak and he's a coward.

bush speaks of the respect for human life. Our military men and women are over extended in a civil war, spread too thin and in the meantime, death worse than under saddam takes place in Darfur.

Hmm, one has oil and the opportunity to exploit billions for corporate dollars...
and Darfur does not.......

Answer 4

President Bush is doing the correct thing by sending more troops.
Islamic Jihad has been attacking America for years and years already The Marine barracks in Beirut was just the beginning and running away won't alter the infatuate aimed at the US. Look at Darfur and tell me if the people there are living peacefully with Islam.
Running away in Iraq will help bring the bombing of our pizza parlors and streets into a reality like in Israel and Israel has continued to back down from Islam for decades but they have no peace and when we back down from Islam Jihad in Iraq will we be given peace? LOL
But if you want to run and it happens your way when your children are blown up in a pizza parlor I will help you pick up their parts and say that thanks to the dishonest Judge Ann Diggs Taylor who put a stop to the governments spying on terrorists in our country, that a few children like yours are a small price to pay for being politically correct.

Answer 5

Absolutely No more troops.... This war was artificially manufactured from the beginning by Bush and his Administration... There is no valid or legal reason for being there in the first place... It is a total unnecessary waste of human lives and time and $$$Money.....

Answer 6

With the two Iraqi groups trying to kill each other, and the terrorists still organizing and attacking Iraqis and US troops, with our troops trying to protect the new Iraqi government, and with Iran "helping" in every way they can, and with the ridiculous rules of combat the troops have to deal with, and with so many Americans trying to destroy our military commander in chief at a time when the troops are still in danger, and threatening to cut funding.........yes, they need more help.

Bush needs to stop listening to congressmen about military actions. These liberals, drunks, gays, grandmothers and klansmen have no credibility in this. I also think they need to be shut up, whatever it takes. If you have people who are proudly serving in Iraq, don't you want them to have help.

Answer 7

No.

The unfortunate truth is, there is not way out of this conflict without major loss of lives. The smartest thing to do is pull out our troops, so we may minimize the amount of casualties.

Answer 8

I do not think president bush should send in more troops until he sends inmore managers or generals to fully evaluate the situation I also think that the number of troops he sent is not enough he should of sent in twice as much.also he should of gotten rid of all the news reporters then we would not have all these controversies.the only reason we had all these problems at abu graib was because they took to many prisioners.

Answer 9

stable question, wish i will assist you along with your task. i could prefer to think of of myself as a conservative and dependable to the Republican party. As such, you're able to assume I accept as true with the President in basic terms on partisan strains. that may not authentic. america as a usual inhabitants (government, civilian, and militia) made a mistake by using getting in touch with Iraq. inspite of what we now be responsive to, hindsight is 20/20. The President could desire to step up and take duty for his mistake fairly of tip-toeing around it. i will admit with humility that I made a mistake by using helping the conflict interior the 1st place, and that i became into stupid. Taking duty exhibits a greater proper character, one I even have not seen with the Bush administration. A troop surge in Iraq now could do not something. This conflict and conflict isn't without delay forward, that's calculating in its covert nature. greater troops will in undemanding terms enable a greater purpose interior the form of an American Flag to be dancing around Iraq. What then, could desire to be executed? Iraq is a muslim state, and as such we could desire to admire that and use it to a political income. the respond could be to get different Muslim international locations in touch strongly with Iraq. Saudia Arabia, even Iran (even nonetheless their "President" is a mad-guy) to purpose and injury down the countless Sunni-Shiite variations that plague the conflict. If in line with probability, Iraq could be turned around into something to sell a Muslim "oneness" then there's achievable for realtive stability interior the area. From what I comprehend, a good sort of the hatred in the direction of individuals is from our hypocritical distant places coverage (i.e. we supply you weapons sooner or later and then the subsequent call you the undesirable guy). Turning this around to a minimum of something that looks to hold a greater static coverage could additionally be stable. wish I gave you some perception, ultimate to you, and peace.

Answer 10

No I do not. They do not have a game plan over there.
You hear constantly that the Democrats have no plan. Not once have I heard the Republican plan other then we will stay there and let our troops be targets until the Iraq government is capable of sustaining itself. I am sorry it has been over 4 years and they seem much farther from that goal today then they did 4 years ago.

So what is the plan? What is the end game?

Answer. There is no plan. There is no end game. He is sending our troops into the middle of a civil war. Thats how he is supporting our troops. Not supplying them with what they need and not having a game plan. I certainly hope I never get that kind of support from someone.

Answer 11

I beleive that yes we should send more troops in, but I also believe that we should coordinate with other countries that have an interest in a free and democratic Iraq so that they support and provide troops as well.

I'm tired of the US of A doing all the "heavy lifting" in the world. Turkey has an interest in a peaceful Iraq. Egypt has an interest in a peaceful Iraq. Saudi Arabia has an interest in a peaceful Iraq. China... France... Brazil... Australia... Canada... Italy... Germany... Spain... Pakistan... Japan... Thailand... everyone has an interest in a peaceful and democratic Iraq.

I think it's time that other countries stepped up and provides support too.
