Answer 2

I think our military offensive in Iraq accomplished all of the objectives laid out in the Congressional Authorization of 2002. I also believe that post-Ba'athist Iraq has made great strides to bring about the birth of a parliamentary democracy in short order. We sometimes forget that it was five years from the signing of the Articles of Confederation until its final ratification. It took us eight years more to replace that with the Constitution and form a more robust and effective government. And we had men with knowledge of Locke and others who could create such a government.
Our military has also done a credible job taking out the Salafist Jihadists in Al Anbar and Diyala provinces who want to foment disorder and abort the growth of that democratic regime. That military has also done major work in rebuilding the infrastructure of Iraq, including parts of it which we didn't break or blow up in the first place.
I'm just getting tired of fellow Americans who think that "Patience" is merely a character in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible". I've also had a bellyfull of those who express concern about the loss of lives and the wounded when they were the same ones who wouldn't have given a service member the time of day on September 10, 2001!

Answer 3

Iraq is so simple and I don't understand why we haven't taken the simple steps to solve it.

Step one - Send every combat troop the US has available to Iraq.

Step two - Secure the Iraqi borders

Step three - go house to house, building to building and bunker to bunker and disarm the entire country.

Step four - repeat step three

Step five - Turn control of Iraq over to the UN

Step six - When the UN takes over, withdraw all of our forces except those that will be remaining as part of a UN peace keeping force.

Step seven - Wars over, troops are home.

I estimated that if we follow these simple steps. We could be out of Iraq in about 180 days. Maybe a bit more, but we wont be there for 10 - 20 years like is now predicted.

Answer 4

it needed to be done, but we overstayed and now Iraq is going to depend on us to protect them.

The Arabs do nothing by themselves. Their buildings are designed by Europeans and built by Filipinos, their food is "for the most part" imported and they produce nothing but oil, and foreign countries do the drilling and processing for that as well.

We're going to be stuck there for along time, or if we pull out Turkey, Iran and a myriad of other countries will roll in there and it'll be genocide like we've never seen.

Even if we wait until they can stand on their own, someone like Saddam or and Ayatollah will rise to power and we'll be back 10 years from now doing this all again.

Lets not forget that the UN, France and Germany all turned their back on us, until Iran started a nuke program, then they all cried for the USA to do something.

Unless some other countries start pulling their weight, the US is stuck there until it's done.

I don't like it, but this is the real world

Answer 5

I think idiots in Congress like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Barney Frank, and the rest of their ilk need to stop legislating what the rules of engagement are, especially when they're legislating from the safety of their ivory towers, thousands of miles from harm.

Answer 6

It is a war of Imperialism and Hegemony.
