what is your solution to the Iraq war?

Answer 1

1. Cordon off the Sunni triangle.
2. Leaflet the area, giving 72 hours' warning.
3. Only allow inhabitants to leave through checkpoint. Let the women & children go, detain and interview the men.
4. After 72 hours, unleash hell on the region (bombs).

This will decimate and demoralize the enemy, leaving an easy clean up.

5. If this is going to be an occupation, then make it a REAL occupation: Sieze oil production land and equipment. Sell the crude for American profit.

Answer 2

There are 18 providences with 4 providences handed over to the Iraqi government and 13 other providences where one third of Iraqi army is leading the way. Also the violence is in 5 providences which are about in the center of Iraq. My solution is to keep training the Iraqis as either soldiers and police and start paying them (many haven't been paid for in months). To show progress to the world, I'd start handing over nine more providences that aren't part of the fighting and send 2,000 soldiers to each of these providence to continue to train the troops and police.

With the five remaining providences, I think politics can sway some areas to the Iraqi government. Remember that Muqtada al-Sadar withdrew 30 some odd senators from the Iraqi government. This could be a carrot to give the Sunnis more political power since they turned down the elections before.

By May of 2008 that enough Iraqis should be on the side of the Iraqi government as to be able to beat back the insergents on theri own. It's a must that the U.S. congress continue funding Iraq's government till it's safe enough to pump out their oil. The big reason South Vietnam fell was because congress refused to fund the South Vietnamese after the U.S. pull out.

Answer 3

The ironic and sad truth is that the only way to properly restore order to the region would be for another despot leader to rise up and restore the region through force. The Iraqi government lack the power to stop the insurgency, so too the coalition forces. Sadly this whole war has been an unmitigated disaster, an irrelevant and pointless waste of hundreds of thousands of lives.

Answer 4

This is a easy one. This is not a war it is a corporate take over. Send the Iraqi army to Fort Jackson for basic training and send their butts back to take care of their own country. Besides they have been fighting for over a thousand years, what makes you think we, as in their eyes, devils, are going to stop it. Get the troops out or send bush's daughters to the front line. Either way dont send a texan to do anything having to do diplomacy. The last three we have had in office have put us in harms way as far as the miltiary is concerned.

Answer 5

Don't invade Iraq in the first place.


Baring that: fight a total war until victory is achieved.

Answer 6

Get out of the way and let THEM get it over with. Less people will die in a 2 month blood bath than will die in ten years of car bombs and executions.
We have had several opportunities to bring that mess to a conclusion, and have blown every one of them.

Answer 7

I don't have one. Fortunately, I don't have to. The Iraqi government is sovereign, so they'll either need to deal with their own problems at some point, or apply to be a U.S. territory.

Answer 8

Muzzle the libs and Dems!!! USMC 60-68

Answer 9

First off, stop calling it a war. Secondly, pull our troops out of Iraq.

Answer 10

Turn the Iraqis into glass farmers
