Do you think the fact that the US will never have enough troops to secure Iraq mean anything?

Question

(Unless of course there is a draft which will never happen).

So no matter if you are the most patriotic pro-war hawk or a cut & run anti-war lib, the best that the US military can do in Iraq is contain it, which is basically what Bush #1 & Clinton did.

And the US military can do that w/o having to get blow up by IEDs, w/o having to try & train an inadequate Iraqi army & w/o having to add more US troops on the ground.

So would anyone like to tell me why we need a Bush "surge" that will only just stir up the hornets nest in Iraq even more?

Oh & if your concerned about the terrorists in Iraq, the Iraqi Shiites & Kurds (who hate Al Qaeda as much as you do) will take care of them.

Or would you rather have 20 more Bush type inadequate "surges" over the next 25 years or more?

Answer 1

We cannot end a civil war between two factions unless they are willing to accept the basic tenants of a civilized society like the rule of law, basic human rights, and religious toleration. We can surge 10 million troops into Iraq and that would not work unless the Iraqis put their petty sectarian differences aside and accept these norms.

Unless they are willing to do this, we should inform them that we feel we have overstayed our welcome and good bye.

Answer 2

it is without doubt one in each and every of the numerous clarification why the warfare in Iraq is appropriate to the excellent blunder in American historic previous. It became and that's an pointless warfare. We loose approximately a hundred American infantrymen a month. approximately 1200 human beings are maimed (lost of a watch or a limb, etc) in Iraq each and each month. We spend approximately $3 billion a week in Iraq. We, no longer loose our attractiveness for the duration of the international because of the fact we already lost it. Our protection rigidity is broken, many infantrymen grow to be unwell long whilst they arrive residing house. The Iraqis have lost close to to a million human beings because of the fact the warfare began. 2 million have become displaced, yet another a million.5 million have left the country. many have been tortured and abused. the country is in ruins without actual government and little prospect for freedom from the human beings and themselves. there is greater...

Answer 3

Don't kid yourself about the draft. That screwball in the White House is capable of anything in his lust for Iraqi oil.

You can bet if he decides to go into Iran, there will be a draft. We don't have enough military to do it if we are busy blowing up Iraq.

Then we will see just how many of the "pro-war" jerks start heading for Canada - or Mexico to avoid the draft.

Who knows, Mexico could be their next best friends.

Answer 4

We need to open the door for millions illegal aliens in this country, who love this country enough to join the military and serve in Iraq if they wish to become us citizen. They can make up the whole troops just like Japanese American troop in WWII. We shouldn’t went into Iraq, but, we make too much enemy now (just like what you said, stir up the hornets nest in Iraq). This way we can taken care both problems in one shot.

Answer 5

it is not patriotic to be pro-war. in fact it is quite the opposite. The war is not winnable, the troops are going there to police the streets, and they are getting shot at. The military is not supposed to be in that role. By supporting the war, you are keeing them in a death trap. The war is costing us over a half trillion dollars so far, and if this goes on at this rate it will increase exponentially. How will we pay for that? the country is going to go bankrupt and then the elite will try to create a north american union to "save" us, ending the constitution, bill of rights, and country.

Therefore, Bush is literally destroying the country. (probably on purpose)

Answer 6

well, we are trying to equip Iraq to contain itself. If we can get these extremists to stop killing our new trainees, it would go a long way. Basically, we're needing to squelch the attacks until we have the Iraqi's trained sufficiently to handle the job on their own.

Answer 7

This war is going to be the end for America, we are borrowing money from Mexico now to finance this fiasco.
America and UK should recruit every last Muslim to go settle their brothers down.

Answer 8

Ever been sick? Did you give up? Did you simply decide that since you can't ever get rid of sickness completely, and would eventually get sick again, it's better to simply give up?

Good. You're beginning to understand.

Answer 9

It is time for a big change.....

Answer 10

BUSH ONLY!
