Why do foolish people always say things like "if we leave iraq will become a blood bath"?

Question

Does this mean that we have to stay in iraq FOREVER and that it we EVER leave it will become a blood bath???

What a foolish thing to say, the only reason it would be a disaster is if we did not adequately train the Iraqi police and military, so instead of parroting meaning phrases, let's actually encourage our government to come up with a definite plan to finish training the Iraqis so that we can withdraw.

Answer 1

Not only that, but it's grammatically incorrect. One cannot BECOME what one already IS.

Answer 2

Its a laughably stupid argument. If we stay in Iraq, it will always remain a blood bath. If we leave Iraq, we'll severely weaken Osama's recruiting efforts and the Iraqis will eventually work things out.

We should leave Iraq immediately. The Iraqi people need to run their own country. If we stay, not only will more Americans be killed, but we'll prolong the slaughter for the Iraqis.

It appears that humanity still hasn't learned from the fascism that took hold in the 1930s. Benito Mussolini also launched wars for "national greatness" against non-enemies. Adolph Hitler also tried to remake the world in his own image (and he did contemplate an invasion of the Middle East so he could pretend to repeat the glories of Alexander the Great). The people promoting militarism today are no less irrational than the fascists of the past.

Answer 3

Like Vietnam, Iraq gives our young men something to do. If they weren't there, they'd be here looking for jobs that have gone to India and Mexico and China. Unemployment would be rife and idle young men are just trouble waiting to happen. The makers of tanks, helicopters, uniforms and body bags might sink into bankruptcy. The economy would stall and our prisons would be bursting at the seams. I'm not worried about the terrorists coming here...they're already here. Personally I see nothing wrong with stepping aside and letting the Shiites and Sunnis slaughter each other as the Palestinians are doing. There will be less of them to deal with in the future when the winners of that struggle begin the process of transforming the globe into one big caliphate under Allah.

Answer 4

A long long time ago in a place far far away 3 million folks died after we walked out on the Vietnamese and left them to their own devices. The Democrats forced that issue. Fast forward forty or so years and guess what? They are at it again-attempting to solidify a defeat for the homeland. Kind of gets old and that must be a heavy burden to carry on their backs-all those folks dead because the libs lack a spine. I guess people think that is going to happen again because its happened before. Kind of makes sense. But what the hell. Libs don't mind taking a chance with someone elses freedom and liberty. That is pretty obvious from their past performance.

Answer 5

Wishful thinking on their part, or an excuse to not admit failure at the very worst level of humankind to date. Any person with a smattering of intelligence and introspection would be able to evaluate any situation and understand the ramifications of their participation, whether it be self-serving or to serve others. I would venture to say that Fuelish person or persons, has much to lose in the way of monetary investment if they left the region. A wild guess, but a very true statement. Buy a fuel efficient car, invest in green stocks, and don't vote for anyone who talks out of the side of his mouth.

Answer 6

Leaving does not mean leaving without restoring the security infrastructure -- you know, the one that incompetent puppy Rummy disbanded after we invaded in our Idiot King's bogus "war?"

In this case, leaving means doing so after we have trained and verified that Iraqis are capable of securing their own country against the pigs who want to murder innocent people to cause instability.

I want our troops out -- but I don't want them to leave until their job (a well-defined job) is done.

Answer 7

What is it exactly right now? Yeah, I have to agree with you. Its going to be a bloodbath tomorrow but isn't it a bloodbath now??? People need to start thinking that the satus quo (and I consider a "surge" the status quo, we have been surging for 2 years now) is just costing billions of dollars with nothing to show for it (except a LOT more people in the Middle East hating us).

Answer 8

It probably has something to do with the abandonment of the South Vietnamese, which led to the genocide of hundreds of thousands of people. You forgot an important part of the statement,"if we leave Iraq NOW, it will become a bloodbath"

Strange how that one word can make so much a difference.

Answer 9

Americans have been so brainwashed. 9/11 occurred and Bin laden is the terrorist. Couple months later we are in Iraq. After debate on war on terror, we say we are there to get sadam. After we get Saddam, we say we need to enforce democracy. After setting up a parlamaint(thats no working), we say sectarian violence. Ofcourse there is going to be sectarian violence after you invade a country. Lets be serious, Iraq is destroyed and it cannot get wosre if America leaves. You cannot expect to have a well orgaized government in a country torn apart in a couple of years. It took america decades before we finall became united.

Answer 10

What they mean is that if we follow Pelosi and Reid, and leave Iraq immediately, there would be a blood bath and a terrorist training ground. Of course, Pelosi and Reid don't care about that. If we stay to complete the mission like the damned democrats didn't allow us to do in Nam or Korea, then Iraq may actually become a western friendly country. Democrats are too stupid to see that, though.

Answer 11

If you look at history, Viet Nam had wholesale killings and people "disappearing", Pol Pot in Cambodia killed about 3 million and buried them in mass graves.

Nothing says we have to stay and fight, but look at Germany, Japan, South Korea and Italy. We fought world wars and left troops to garrison that country. All have democratic forms of government, all have elections but we keep troops there for training purposes and full fill things like NATO agreements.

Nothing says we have to stay, but lets get them where they can take care of their own business.
