Question requarding war in Irac?

Question

What do you think about the President pulling troops out starting in the Spring...Expressing my opinion, I wan't to say that I feel like weather we leave the troops there or pull them out were still screwed either way. If we stay there they'll blow us up one by one until we need send more troops again to support a larger army. If we were to pull out the troops then I think Osama Bin Ladin will come back to haunt us in a sneaky way again possible killing thousands of american's etc. So, what is the best solution to this war, ending with a good result?

Sorry, it's Iraq...and folk's this is only an opinionated question.

Answer 1

First it is Iraq. Second it's not the Pres pulling the troops out it congress. We have not finished the job, we need to stay until it is done and done properly.

Answer 2

You make it sound like the troops are just sitting around over there waiting to be killed. I guarantee you the fighting is hurting the bad guys much more than it is us. You won't see that on CNN. Doesn't pull ratings like dead Americans does. If we pull out too soon, things will be much worse than if we allow them time to complete their mission. All the debate about troop withdrawals and timetables and funding does is give Al Qaida and the insurgents something to strive for. If they can just hold out long enough for the Dems to have their way, they win by default. Then it is only a matter of time before the Iraqi Government is torn apart by sectarian differences and Al Qaida's Islamic Fundamentalist agenda can be forced on them. So, we are faced with choosing the lesser of two evils. To stay or to leave. Political ideology will tell you which is the lesser evil.

As long as there are free thinking democracies like the USA there will be people who want ot destroy them. As long as there is religous belief there will be unrest. Wars will never stop. People will never stop judging each other and never stop believing that they have some obligation to their religion to turn every living being to their God. People will never stop living, fighting and dieing for their beliefs. We will always be a targeted by somebody. As far as pulling troops out.. We never removed all troops from Korea, Germany, Cuba etc etc. I don't believe we will ever be completely removed from Iraq. There is no end to this... There is a quote that goes something like " the only way for evil to prevail is for good men to stand aside and do nothing" But good men will not do that. And neither will the USA. Our presence will be known in Iraq for generations to come. We will always be at risk of attack for the simple fact that we are The United States of America.

This will remain, for historians, the most disputed question in the Bush legacy. If President Bush had not invaded Iraq, where would America be - economically, politically, socially? In my opinion, we must heed the wise proverb: "If you find yourself deep in a hole, stop digging." In other words, yes, we "screwed up" and it would be fantastic if we could "make it all better."

But it isn't that simple. If, for example, I enter a china shop and break a pot, I should try to mend it, no? But say that in doing so, I break another, even more precious pot. Should I still mend it?

What I am trying to say is this - sometimes, after one has spent years attempting (or feigning attempting) repairing a disparaged country, the best decision is to simply admit defeat.

Yes, I believe that the most mature, responsible, and effective thing that President Bush can do for this country is to pull all troops out of Iraq, NOW.

As Mahatma Gandhi once said,

"There is no path to peace. Peace is the path."

Answer 5

There is a theory of waging war that hasn't been used much but, when it has been used has been very effective. I first noticed it when it was described by Victor Davis Hanson, a professor of classical literature and history at a university in southern California, who has extensively studied and written on the many wars fought by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

The method of waging war described by Hanson involves the complete obliteration of structures, crops, farms, factories, railroads, ports, weapons and other military equipment, and every other physical, economic, or psychological asset owned or controlled by the enemy that could conceivably support the enemy's ability to continue to wage war, but taking care to the greatest extent possible to minimize the loss of human life.

The objective would be to force the enemy into a position where it had no alternative to unconditional surrender. It was the military philosophy that animated Sherman's March to the Sea near the end of the Civil War, sometimes referred to as a "scorched earth policy," and that completely prostrated the South and destroyed its ability to continue to wage war. Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House followed swiftly.

In its prostrated condition, the South, like Germany and Japan at the end of World War II, was helpless, defenseless, demoralized, economically bankrupt and strategically ruined, with no place left standing in which they could hide, and totally dependent upon the Union, in the case of the South, or the Allies, in the case of Germany and Japan, for everything including the food needed to forestall starvation and the fuel needed to stave off freezing to death.

Under those conditions the enemy was completely demoralized and willing to surrender unconditionally to overwhelming, superior force.

After receiving the enemy's unconditional surrender, the victors began the long, arduous task of helping the indigenous population of the vanquished country to rebuild the infrastructure and put in place the governmental and other institutions needed to restore normal living and working conditions.

Among other benefits, this long period of collaborative rehabilitation enabled the victors and the vanquished to learn more about each other by living and working together at close quarters and encouraged a healing reconciliation between them.

Answer 6

Why not hope for the best, and Hope that the surge works?

Keep in mind, Some have said, that "we lost the Vietnam War," and others, But I beg to differ, Friend, Is that a reason to assume DEFEAT? By no means!!

We have not lost one battle thus far in the history of our Great country, friend, and we won't lose this one either, If we lose? It will be in the their IMAGINATION!! Far from reality, Friend!

Remember George Washington's Vision - In it he said 'Three great perils will come upon the republic. The most fearful is the third, but in this greatest conflict the whole world united shall not prevail against her.'
And that is what it is all about , Friend!

We're going to WIN THE VICTORY!

Answer 7

We are in Iraq to provide security to the Iraqi people in order for them to strengthen their security forces to fight off the insurgents from Syria and Iran and Al Quada who want to turn that country into a terrorist government. To leave the Iraqi people hanging will be a disaster for the whole western civilization. And terrorism will spread even further.

Answer 8

Americans are defending their new territories. So it is defending war like in Korea or Vietnam or Afghanistan or many more around globe

Answer 9

Answer 10

Irac is spelled Iraq. The pullout will never happen. It will be veto'd when it hits his desk. Oh and someone needs to tell the little Liberal Steph that you cannot have a peace treaty with a terrorist organization. WAKE UP!!!
